product has been properly installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with all appli-
cable instructions. To make a claim under this warranty, the bill of sale or proof of purchase

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers only the
cost of parts required to restore this heater to proper operating condition. Warranty parts
must be obtained through authorized dealers of this product and/or DESA Heating Products
who will provide original factory replacement parts. Failure to use original factory replace-
ment parts voids this warranty. The heater must be used in accordance with all local codes
and instructions furnished with the unit.
This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal
wear and tear, or parts that fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, accidents, lack of
proper maintenance, alteration, tampering, contaminated fuels, or defects caused by im-
proper installation. Travel, transportation and incidental costs associated with warranty re-
pair are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.
TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION THAT GOV-
ERNS THE SALE OF THE PRODUCT: THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ANY AND
ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF FIRST PURCHASE: AND
DESA HEATING PRODUCTS’ LIABILITY IS HEREBY LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE
OF THE PRODUCT AND DESA HEATING PRODUCTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER INCLUDING INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation on implied warran-
ties, or exclusion or limitation on damages may not apply to you.
This warranty provides the original retail p urchaser with specific legal rights. For specific
information regarding those rights, please consult the applicable state laws.
To Light Heater
Read and understand all safety information before operating heater.
1.
Adjust burners to desired position by loosening wing nuts on back of burner head
bracket. WARNING: Wing nuts and burner heads become very hot during
operation. Do not attempt to adjust burner position while heater is operating.
Allow 15 minutes to cool. WARNING: Do not raise burner heads and cover air
inlet holes in mixing tube with burner bracket. Firmly tighten wing nuts to
secure burners. Do not overlap or direct burners at each other.
2.
WARNING: Make sure there is no open flame in the area. Fully open the
propane tank valve.
3.
Turn heater regulator knob counterclockwise to the “HI” position (see Figure 4).
4.
WARNING: Stand to the side of unit while lighting. Do not stand or have any
part of your body over or in front of heater while lighting. Do not attempt to
light one burner off of the other. Use one match per burner. Locate ignition hole
in underside of burner (see Figure 5). Hold a lit match under ignition hole. CAU-
TION: Do not insert match into air inlet holes in mixing tube. Push in the safety
shutoff valve plunger (see Figure 5). WARNING: Do not push in safety shutoff
valve plunger before inserting lit match. Burner should light. Mesh screen on
burner glows red when lit. After burner is lit, continue holding in safety shutoff valve
plunger (about 10 to 30 seconds) until heater stays lit.

If the burner does not light within 30 seconds, turn regulator knob to the “OFF”
position. Wait at least two minutes for the gas to dissipate before relighting.
