onds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds,

VARIABLE CONTROL
OPERATION
The variable control valve can be set to any
heat setting and flame height desired, by sim-
ply turning the control knob until that setting
is attained. Even the lowest setting provides
realistic flames and glowing embers from two
burners. Selecting higher settings produces
greater heat output. This results in increased
heating comfort.
WARNING: Do not operate
heater between locked posi-
tions.
CAUTION: Do not try to ad-
just heating levels by using the
equipment shutoff valve.
