WARNING:
Be careful when attempting to manually ignite the heater. Holding in the control knob for more
than 10 seconds before igniting the gas will cause a ball of flame upon ignition.
WHEN THE HEATER IS ON:
The emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The color is more visible at night. Burner
will display tongues of blue and yellow flames. These flames should not be yellow or produce black smoke,
this indicates an obstruction of airflow through the burners. The flame should be blue with straight yellow
tops. If excessive yellow flame is detected, turn off the heater and consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section
in this manual.
LIGHTING THE HEATER:
NOTE: For your safety, the control knob cannot be turned off without first depressing the control knob and
then rotating to OFF.
1. Turn the control knob to the OFF position.
2. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow gas to dissipate before re-lighting.
