BEFORE LIGHTING
1. Inspect the visible portion of the hose before each use of the appliance.
2. Inspect the entire hose assembly at least annually. If disassembly is required, perform a leak test to check the
connections upon re-assembly. Inspect the portion of the hose that is not visible. The hose assembly must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
3. Replace the hose if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged. The replacement
hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
•Fit battery to sparker (see Fig. 2).
•Turn on the gas supply at the cylinder.
•Push the dial in and turn to position .
•While the dial is held pressed in at position , press the spark button to ignite the
heater.
•Hold the dial in for at least 10 seconds to ensure the heater stays lit.
•If the heater does not light after holding in the dial in for 20 seconds wait 5 minutes and try again. Do not
continuously hold the dial in as you may cause a build up of gas.
•In windy conditions, shield from wind to ensure easy lighting and hold the dial in for at least 20 seconds to
ensure the heater stays lit.
•Turn the control dial to high or low flame position as required. Correct operation of the heater is indicated by a
predominantly blue, quiet flame.
•If the sparker fails, you can light your patio heater using a match. To light your patio heater with a match:
1. Place the lit match through the gap below the burner mesh and wind guard. 2. Turn the control dial to the
position. After the burner ignites, keep the control dial held in for 10 seconds to ensure the burner stays lit and
then release. 3. If the burner does not light after holding the control dial in for 20 seconds with the lit match in
position, remove the match, turn the control dial to the off position, wait 5 minutes and then repeat.
TO TURN OFF
•Push the dial in and turn to position .
•Turn the gas off and disconnect at the cylinder when not in use.
•Remove battery from ignition unit during prolonged periods of non-use.
LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the heater are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must
be performed at the installation site due to possible shifts during shipment, installation or excessive pressure
unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the
system if the smell of gas is detected. To check the connection at the gas hose/regulator/cylinder:
•Ensure you are in a well ventilated area.
•Confirm all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
•Turn ON LP gas tank at valve.
•Check for leaks by brushing a solution of 50% water and 50% dish soap at all "X"
locations (see Fig. 3).
•NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at any time.
•Check each place for growing bubbles. If "growing" bubbles appear, turn the Tank
Valve off and DO NOT use your heater until the leak is repaired.
