TO TURN OFF GAS

TO APPLIANCE

Shutting Off Heater

1. Turn control knob clockwise Clockwise to the OFF position.

2.Turn off all electric power to the ap- pliance if service is to be performed.

Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot stays lit)

Turn control knob clockwise Clockwise to the PILOT position.

THERMOSTAT

CONTROL

OPERATION

The thermostatic control used on these models differs from standard thermo- stats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat used on this heater senses the room tem- perature. The thermostat adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame height. 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 temperature. The control knob can be set to any heat 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.

MANUAL LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

1.Remove front panel (see Figure 10, page 8).

2.Follow steps 1 through 5 under Light- ing Instructions, page 11.

3.With control knob pressed in, strike match. Hold match to pilot until pi- lot lights.

4.Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob. Follow step 8 under Lighting Instructions, page 11.

5.Replace front panel.

INSPECTING

BURNER

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 18 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 19 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touch- ing the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermo- couple cools, the heater will shut down.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 19

•turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, column 1)

•see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 20 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 21 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the glass panel height.

WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could pro- duce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If burner flame pat- tern shows yellow tipping, follow the instructions below.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dust or other fine particles enter the heater and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.

If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 21

•turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, column 1)

•see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16
