Chapter 2
Quick Start Guide
Normal Operation
1) Check the air inlets and outlets
Check that all the air inlets and outlets are undamaged and unblocked.
2) Check propane supply
Check that the propane tank(s) are securely mounted and contains fuel. Check that the fitting
connecting the tank to the gas system is tight. Turn on the valve on the propane tank.
3) Set the thermostat
Set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
4) Turn on the heater
Your heater is now ready for use and will automatically run as necessary to maintain the space at
the desired temperature (just like a home furnace.)
5) Turning off the heater
If you need to turn the heater for the night or the weekend, turn off the heater using the
thermostat. This guarantees than the heater has time to cool down properly.
If you need to turn the heater off for longer than a few days, turn off the heater using the power
switch on the side. It is very important that the heater is not running when you shut off the power.
If the heater is running, first turn off the heater using the thermostat, wait until the fan was
stopped, and then turn off the heater. Turning off the heater with the power switch while it is
running is not inherently dangerous, but it will reduce the life of some of the components inside
the heater. Once the heater is turned off, close the valve(s) on the propane tank(s).
