nTHERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATIONn
The thermostatic control used on this
model differs from standard
thermostats.Standard thermostats
simply turn on and off the burner. The
thermostat used on this heater senses
the room temperature. At times the
room may exceed the set temperature.
If so,the burner will shut off. The burner
will cycle back on when room tempera-
ture drops below the set temperature.
The control knob can be set to any com-
fort level between HI and LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea-
sures 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.
