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 flames and glow- ing embers from two burners. Selecting higher settings produces greater heat output. This results in increased heating comfort.

TO TURN OFF GAS WARNING: Do not operate heater between locked positions.

Shutting Off Heater CAUTION: Do not try to ad- just heating levels by using the equipment shutoff valve.

INSPECTING

BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 23 shows a correct pilot flame pat- tern. Figure 24 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 24

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

seeTroubleshooting, pages 17 through 19

FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 25 shows correct front burner flame pattern. Figure 26 shows incorrect front burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of blue flame.

Manual background WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could pro- duce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If front burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, fol- low instructions at bottom of this page. Yellow flame on rear burner is normal.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles are burned by heater, causing brief patches of orange flame.

If front burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 26

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