LIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS

1.STOP! Read the safety information on page 11, column 3.

2.Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.

3.Turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position.

4.Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the safety in- formation page 11, column 3. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.

5.Turn control knob counterclockwise

to the PILOT position. Press in control knob for five (5) seconds (see Figure 16).

Note: You may be running this heater for the first time after hook- ing up to gas supply. If so, the con- trol knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds. This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.

•If control knob does not pop up when released, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.

6.With control knob pressed in, push down and release ignitor button. This will light pilot. The pilot is at- tached to the front of burner. If needed, keep pressing ignitor but- ton until pilot lights.

Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16. Also contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs. Until re- pairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual Lighting Procedure on page 13.

7.Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob.

Note: If pilot goes out, repeat steps 3 through 7. This heater has a safety interlock system. Wait one (1) minute before lighting pilot again.

8.Turn control knob counterclockwise

to desired heating level. The main burner should light. Set control knob to any heat level between HI and LOW.

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

THERMOSTAT

CONTROL

OPERATION

The thermostatic control used on these models 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 temperature drops below the set tempera- ture. The control knob can be set to any comfort 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 loca- tion, room size, open air temperatures, etc.) Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.
