THERMOSTAT CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat control knob can be set to any comfort level between HI and LO. The ther- mostat will gradually modulate the heat output and flame height from higher to lower settings, or pilot, in order to maintain the comfort level you select. The ideal comfort setting will vary by household depending upon the amount of space to be heated, the output of the central heating system, etc. Note: Selecting the HI setting with the control knob will cause the burner to remain fully on, without modulating down in most cases.
