5. Replace front panel.
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 HI and LO.
Selecting the HI setting will cause the burner to remain fully on
without modulating down in most cases.
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, instal-
lation location, room size, open air temperatures, etc.). Fre-
quent use of your heater will let you determine your own
comfort levels.

INSPECTING HEATER
Pilot Flame Pattern
INSPECTING HEATER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 21 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 22 shows an
incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not
touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to
cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 22
turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance)
see Troubleshooting, pages 17 through 19
Note:
The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve,
but flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.
