THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
(Thermostat Models Only)
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.
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 temperatures, etc.). Frequent
use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.
