If your log set cycles to pilot, but the room temperature drops to a lower than ideal comfort level before the log set comes back on, you may want to reposition the thermostat sensing bulb.

The thermostat sensing bulb is located near the gas valve assembly on the mounting bracket. This location allows the thermostat to keep the room temperature at an ideal comfort level for most fireplace applications. For positioning the thermostat sensing bulb else- where, an adhesive-backed mounting clip is available.

fireplace to prevent crimping of capillary. Once you have de-

cided on a location, clean the area thoroughly. Remove the pa-

per backing from the adhesive on back of mounting clip. Press

the clip into the new location so that the thermostat sensing bulb

will be positioned vertically with the capillary at the bottom

(see Figure 49). Slide the thermostat sensing bulb into the clip.
