OPERATING

HEATER

Continued

•In the AUTO mode, the thermostat in the hand-held remote unit con- trols the room temperature. To in- crease the room temperature, press the top arrow of the TEMP button. To lower the room temperature, press the bottom arrow of the TEMP button. At higher settings the heater will run longer.

IMPORTANT: This remote control has been specially engineered to take an air temperature sample ev- ery minute in the auto mode. It will not respond immediately to the temperature setting being turned up or down.

IMPORTANT: The hand-held re- mote control unit must be near the heater. Do not keep the hand-held remote control unit too close to the heater. The thermostat on the hand-held remote control unit will heat up too quickly and turn the heater off.

3.To turn the burner off, press the AUTO/ON/OFF button until OFF lights. The pilot will remain lit.

IMPORTANT: To turn the pilot off, manually turn the control knob on the heater 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 realistic, dancing yellow flames. Selecting higher settings produces greater heat output. This results in in- creased heating comfort.

WARNING: Do not operate heater between PILOT and HIGH positions.

CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equip- ment shutoff valve
