Lighting the Patio Heater
Lighting the Patio Heater is easy, but must be done with due care.
NOTE:
White smoke may appear around the radiant head during the first minutes of the
initial firing.
Make sure that the gas is turned on at the cylinder.
Purging the Gas Line
If a new tank has just been connected, please allow at least one minute for the air in the
gas pipeline to purge out at the High position. A five minute complete shut off period is
necessary before lighting.
Spark Ignition
Ensure that the control knob is off.
Slowly open the gas cylinder valve.
Press and turn the control knob to
‘LIGHT’ position, keep control knob in pressed
position.
Check for pilot flame through pilot lighting hole. If pilot does not light, turn control knob to
‘OFF’ position and try again from the start. Several attempts may be necessary.
With the pilot alight keep control knob depressed for 15 seconds then turn the control
knob to
‘LOW’.
For maximum heat turn control knob to
‘HIGH’.
Note:
It is recommended that after the Pilot flame lights that the knob control is
positioned to low for the first 5 minutes prior to adjusting it to a higher heat setting if
desired.
Turning Off
To turn the Patio Heater off, it is best to turn the cylinder off first, and allow the gas left in
the hose to burn off. This will only take a couple of seconds. Then press in knob control
and turn to the OFF position. If your Patio Heater is connected to piped LPG, you can
simply turn the burner controls off.
It’s okay to leave the cylinder connected to your Patio
Heater while
it’s not in use.
Note:
Failure to follow these shutdown procedures correctly can lead to a hazardous
condition.
