OPERATION

The control knob can be set to any heat level between HI and LO. When the room tem- perature exceeds the set temperature, the burner will cycle to pilot. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature.

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 location, room size, open air temperatures, etc.) Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.

	lot lights.
4.	Keep control knob pressed in for 10
	seconds after pilot is lit. After 10 sec-
	onds, release control knob.
