CONTROL
OPERATION
(Thermostat-Controlled Models
Only)
The thermostat control knob can be set to
any comfort level between Hi and Lo. The
thermostat will gradually modulate the
heat output and flame height from higher
to lower settings, or pilot, in order to
maintain the comfort level you select.
The ideal comfort setting will vary by
household depending upon the amount of
space to be heated, the output of the
central heating system, etc.
Note:
Selecting the Hi setting with the
control knob will cause the burner to
remain fully on, without modulating down
in most cases.

NOTICE: During initial operation
of new heater, burning logs will
give off a paper-burning smell.
Orange flame will also be present.

smell. This will only last a few
hours.

Homeowners generally prefer
to operate their heater with the chim-
ney damper closed. This will put all
the heat into the room. However there
may be times you will desire the full
flames of the High heat setting but
will find the heat output excessive.
You can open the chimney damper (if
you have one) fully or partially to
release some of the heat. WARNING:
