OPERATING HEATER
Continued
Note: Home owners generally prefer to operate their heater with the chimney damper closed. This will put all the heat into the room. However, there may be times you will desire the full flames of the HI 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: Damper handle will be hot if heater has been running.
1.STOP! Read the safety information on page 14.
2.Remove control cover log (see Figure 23).
3.Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.
4.Press in and turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position.

VARIABLE CONTROL
OPERATION
The variable control valve can be set to any heat setting and flame height desired, by simply turning the control knob until that setting is attained. Even the lowest setting provides realis- tic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting higher settings produces greater heat output. This results in increased heating comfort.
WARNING: Do not operate heater between PILOT and HI positions.
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.
