the “ON” position. If the pilot fails to light,
or if it went out due to a premature release
of the gas control knob while pressed in the
“PILOT” position, wait 60 seconds for the
Interlock to release. Then repeat the lighting
process as described in this section of the
manual.
Once the pilot has been lit, the gas control
knob has been turned to the “ON” position,
and the ON/OFF/T’STAT switch has been
turned to “ON”, the main burners should
light immediately. If you would like to use
the thermostat and it has been installed,
switch the ON/OFF/T’STAT switch to
thermostat. Turn the thermostat to "ON" and
set it to a higher position so that it "calls" for
heat in order to turn light the main burners
(i.e. turns the unit on). Note that the
thermostat controls the on/off cycling of the
main burners, but the pilot remains lit
regardless of the thermostat setting. The
only way to turn the pilot off is to turn the
gas control knob fully clockwise to the
“OFF” position.

A. ON/OFF/PILOT
The valve is equipped with two “control
knobs”. One is the ON/OFF/PILOT
knob, located on the front left side of the
valve. When in the “OFF” position, the
unit cannot operate at all. When in the
“PILOT” position, the pilot light can be
lit, but that is all. When in the “ON”
position, the unit may be on
continuously, or it may be “waiting” to
be controlled by the thermostat or
remote, depending on the setting of the
other controls.
B. VARIABLE OUTPUT CONTROL
The Variable Output Control knob,
located on the front right side of the
valve, controls the “rate” heat is
produced. By adjusting the variable
output control the rate of heat output can
be varied to meet the heating
requirements of the season. Choosing a
“LOW” flame setting will result in
longer burn cycles at a reduced output,
while choosing a “HIGH” flame setting
will result in a shorter, hotter burn cycle.
Through trial and error you can select
the optimum flame size for you setting
and application.
C. ON/OFF/T’STAT SWITCH
The ON/OFF/T’STAT switch controls
how the unit will operate, continuously
or by thermostat. When the switch is in
the “ON” position,
the main burner
