 THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION   
The thermostat control used on this heater differs from standard thermostats. Standard     
thermostats simply turn the burner on and off. The thermostat used on this heater senses  the 
room temperature and adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This will increase 
or  decrease the flame height. At times, the room may exceed the set temperature, which will 
cause the burner to shut off. When room temperature drops below the thermostat      setting, 
the burner will cycle itself on again. The flame control knob can be set to any level between 
2 and 7. 
NOTE: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the heater cabinet. 
This may not always agree with room temperature ( depending on housing construction,       
installation location , room size, open air temperature,etc.).  Frequent use of your heater will 
allow you to determine your personal comfort levels.  
 MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE 
1.  If the pilot cannot be ignited with the ignitor on the control valve, it can be manually lit 
with the use of a paper match and a lighter rod.

      counterclockwise                          to PILOT.

      is completely on.

nician or gas supplier.

“If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and 
call your service technician or gas supplier.” 
5.  Turn control knob counterclockwise                         to “ON” position. 
 “Set thermostat (flame control) to desired setting. Turn clockwise                   for “LOW”
