OPERATION

Before performing a leak test, be sure that no sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area. 

Connect the propane gas tank to the regulator and turn the valve on the unit to the “off” position. Brush a soap 

and water mixture on all connections. Turn the gas supply on; if bubbles occur on any connection, there may be 

a leak. 

If you smell gas or a leak is discovered, turn the gas valve off, disconnect propane gas tank and do not 

use the appliance until the leak is repaired.

Do not use the heating unit without inspecting the gas hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must 

replace the hose (if applicable).

TO LIGHT

1. 

Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder.

2. 

Press and turn the variable control knob to the ‘HI’ position.

3. 

Press down the variable control knob and hold for 30 seconds.

4. 

While holding down the variable control knob, press the igniter 

button several times until the burner head flame ignites. 

Release the variable control knob 10 seconds after the ignition.

5. 

If a new tank has just been connected, allow at least one 

minute or more for the air in the gas pipeline to purge out.

6. 

The flame can be watched and checked from the viewing hole 

located on the base of the burner.

7.  Turn the variable control knob to the ‘LO’ position for 

5 minutes or more before turning the knob to desired 

temperature setting. If a small flame is needed, turn the 

variable control knob to the “LO” psoition.

8.  If the burner flame goes out accidentally or is blown out by 

wind, turn off the heater and wait at least 5 minutes or more 

to let the gas dissipate before lighting again to avoid possible gas explosion. Repeat steps 2 through 4.

When lit for the first time, the heater may emit a slight odor and smoke. This is a normal and temporary 

condition. Emitter screen will become a bright red due to the heat. The color is more visible at night. Flame 

patterns should be a blue flame; these flames should not be yellow in color, which indicates an obxtruction of 

airflow through the burners.

TO EXTINGUISH

1. 

Turn control knob clockwise to the “off” position.

2. 

Close the cylinder valve on the propane gas tank if you don’t intend to use it for a long time.
