Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures
the temperature of air near the heater cabinet.
This may not always agree with room tem-
perature (depending on housing construction,
installation location, room size, open air tem-
peratures, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will
let you determine your own comfort levels.

BLOWER
OPERATION
WARNING: Blower accessory
must be grounded. Blower comes
with a three-prong, grounding
plug as shown in Figure 22. The
plug is your protection against
electrical shock. Plug it into a
standard, three-hole, grounded,
outlet. If cord needs replacing,
use only a cord with a three-
prong, grounding plug.
CAUTION: Label all wires
prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and danger-
ous operation.
CAUTION: Do not plug power
cord into electrical outlet until
installation is complete.

between these positions may
create a possible health hazard

THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on these
models differs from standard thermostats.
Standard thermostats simply turn on and off
the burner. The thermostat used on this heater
senses the room temperature. The thermostat
adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner.
This increases or decreases the burner flame
height. At times the room may exceed the
set temperature. If so, the burner will shut
off. The burner will cycle back on when room
temperature drops below the set temperature.
The control knob can be set to any heat level
between 1 and 5. Selecting the 5 setting will
cause the burner to remain fully on without
modulating down in most cases.
