Lighting Instructions
IMPORTANT:
The heater must not be
exposed to flammable vapors or liquids
during lighting.
1. Make sure four-position Control Knob
is in “OFF” position. See Figure 5.
2.
Open valve at propane (LP) gas supply
cylinder.
IMPOR TANT:
Check all hose
connections for leaks with soapy water
at the threaded connection on the side
of the heater. SEE WARNING! ON THE
BACK OF THE HEATER.
3. Turn Control Knob counterclockwise
to “PILOT” position and depress to
light. Refer to Figure 5.
4. If heater does not light, hold down
for approximately 30 seconds, release,
and depress again. Repeat until pilot
lights.
5. After pilot lights, hold down for 30 -
60 seconds and then release knob.
Knob should return to fully extended
position.
6. To operate the heater, slightly depress
the knob and gently turn to lock in the
“HI” position to light burner. Leave on
“HI” position until the catalytic pad has
illuminated.
7.
After the catalytic pad has illuminated,
adjust heat output by turning Control
Knob to desired position (“LO” or “HI”
setting -
NEVER BETWEEN LOCKED
POSITIONS!
).
Shutdown Instructions
1. To turn off the heater, shut off the
propane (LP) gas at the supply tank
or shut-off valve inside, allowing the
heater to use up the propane (LP) gas
in the supply line, then slightly push
the Control Knob down and turn
clockwise
to the “OFF” position.
IMPORTANT:
When not in use, the
propane (LPs must be turned off at the
propane (LP) gas supply cylinder. As
stated before, allow heater to use up
propane (LP) gas in the supply line until
heater shuts off.
Relighting Instructions
IF HEATER GOES OUT DURING
NORMAL OPERATION, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO RELIGHT UNTIL:
1. The reason the heater stopped
operating has been determined.
An empty propane (LP) gas supply,
propane (LP) gas line blockage,
propane (LP) gas leak, lack of sufficient
air, regulator failure, heater mechanical
failure, or catalytic pad deterioration
are all possible causes.
2.
The heater has been allowed time to
cool down completely.
3. It has been determined that there
is no leaked or otherwise unburned
propane (LP) gas present in the
surrounding atmosphere.
Cleaning
•
Always keep the heater area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
•
Keep the vent areas (slots in the
bottom and the top of heater) clear at
all times.
IMPORTANT:
The heater and its
surroundings should be kept clean and
free of dust.
•
The heater must be kept covered with
the supplied dust shield when heater is
not in use.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to use dust shield
when heater is not in use will void the
warranty.
•
The exterior of the heater can be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid the
direct use of any aerosol or spray-on
cleaners. Do not use abrasive materials
or cleaners on the decals or control
knob. Be careful to NOT get moisture,
cleaners, or solvents on the catalytic
element surface.
•
Never touch, vacuum, or wash off the
catalytic pad. This may destroy the
active catalytic platinum surface and
make the pad inoperable.
IMPORTANT:
The gas supply system to
the heater should be checked periodically
by a qualified propane (LP) gas service
technician. If the heater will not light,
stay lit, or does not put out the normal
amount of heat, the very first thing to
do is check the gas supply. Find out if
the gas is available at the heater and
check the propane (LP) gas regulator
for correct manifold pressure.

WARNING:
If the information in this
manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
DANGER:
NEVER bring a refillable
propane cylinder indoors. A fire or
explosion can occur causing property
damage, serious injury, or death!
CAUTION:
Do not try to adjust
heating levels by using the propane tank
shut off valve.
WARNING:
Do not operate heater
unless control knob is locked in a
position marked “Hi”, “Lo”, or “Pilot”.
Never set control knob between locked
positions. Poor combustion and higher
levels of carbon monoxide may result.
CAUTION:
After turning heater off,
protective grill will remain hot. Allow to
thoroughly cool before storing.
CAUTION:
Do not cover the heater
while it is hot.
