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.

CAUTION: Do not try to adjust heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.
