NOTE : NOTE : For initial start-up or after any cylinder change, hold the Control Knob in for 2 minutes to purge
air from all gas lines before proceeding. When lighting the burner make sure that the Control Knob is held in while
pressing the igniter button. The Control Knob can be released after the burner has been lit for 15-30 seconds.
1. Turn the Control Knob to the “OFF” position.
2. Fully open the LP cylinder valve.

While pressing inward on the Control Knob in the "HI" position also press and
hold the RED igniter button until the burner flame ignites.
(You should hear a rapid series of sparks when pressing the igniter button)
After the burner ignites you can release the RED igniter button but you MUST
continue to press inward on the Control Knob for an additional 15-30 seconds
to allow time to heat up the safety thermocouple which keeps the burner lit.

If you experience any ignition problems, please consult “Troubleshooting” on page 21.
Caution : Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use. Smoke and odor from the burning of oils used in the manufacturing will
appear. Both smoke and odor will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The heater should NOT produce thick black smoke.
When Heater is ON :
Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The color is more visible at night. Burner will display
tongues of blue and yellow flame. These flames should not be yellow or produce thick black smoke, indicating an
obstruction of airflow through the burners. The flame should be blue with straight yellow tops. If excessive yellow
flame is detected, turn off heater and consult “Troubleshooting” on page 21.
