ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
A dented, rusted, or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your cylinder
supplier. Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged valve connection.
The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the standard for cylinders, spheres and tubes for
transportation of dangerous goods and commission, CAN/CSA-B339.
The cylinder must have a listed overfilling prevention device.
The cylinder must have a connection device compatible with the connection for the appliance.
The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Never connect an unregulated propane cylinder to the heater.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the outlet of the gas cylinder, inlet of the regulator
valve or in the outlet of the burner and burner ports.
Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Keep the propane cylinder valve closed and disconnect the
propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the appliance is not in use.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the appliance.
The propane cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overfilling prevention
device. Please use the proper cylinder orientation to provide vapor withdrawal.
NOTE: The cylinder must be fully upright for the cylinder to have vapor withdrawal only.
CONNECTING THE LP TANK
TO DISCONNECT
Fully close the tank valve by turning
clockwise. Turn the coupling nut
counterclockwise until the
regulator assembly detaches.
1. The knob on the LP tank must be closed. Make sure that the knob is turned
clockwise to a full stop. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
2. Check that the control knob on the control panel is turned off.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve and coupling nut.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure
the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut connects to the large
outside threads on the valve outlet. Use care - do not cross thread the connection.
5. Hand-tighten the coupling nut
clockwise until it comes to a full stop. Firmly
tighten by hand only. Do not use tools.
WARNING:
• Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance;
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full;
• Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type
of dust cap on the cylinder valve that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other type of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
• Certain materials or items when stored under the heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.
