OPERATION
Before performing a leak test, be sure that no sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area.
Connect the propane gas tank to the regulator and turn the valve on the unit to the "off position. Brush a soap
and water mixture on all connections. Turn the gas supply on; if bubbles occur on any connection there may
be a leak. If you smell gas or a leak is discovered turn the gas valve off, disconnect propane gas tank and do
not use the appliance until the leak is repaired.
Do not use the heating unit without inspecting the gas hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must
replace the hose (if applicable).
To Light
1. Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder.
2. Press and turn the variable control knob to the 'HI' position.
3. Press down the variable control knob and hold for 3-5 seconds.
5. If a new tank has just been connected, allow at least one minute or more for the air
in the gas pipeline to purge out.
6. The flame can be watched and checked from the viewing hole located on the base
of the burner.
7. Turn the variable control knob to the 'LO' position for 5 minutes or more before
turning the knob to desired temperature setting. If a small flame is needed, turn the
variable control knob to the 'LO
'
position.
8. If the burner flame goes out accidentally or it is blown out by wind, turn off the
heater and wait at least 5 minutes or more to let the gas dissipate before lighting
again to avoid possible gas explosion. Repeat steps 2 through 4.
When lit for the first time the heater may emit a slight odor and smoke. This is a normal and temporary
condition. Emitter screen will become a bright red due to the heat. The color is more visible at night. Flame
patterns should be a blue flame; these flames should not be yellow in color; indicating an obstruction of
airflow through the burners.
To Extinguish
1. Turn control knob clockwise to the "off" position.
2. Close the cylinder valve on the propane gas tank if you do not intend to use it for a long time.
