LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
TO TURN OFF GAS
Once the purging is complete, the burner will light and
operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent
lighting of the appliance will not require such purging un-
less the gas supply has been disconnected.
The propane regulator in this appliance is equipped
with a low flow protection device. Unless the propane
cylinder valve is opened before the patioflame valve,
the gas flow will be reduced resulting in a very small
flame.
To reset this device, shut off the patioflame valve, then
the propane cylinder valve.
Next, disconnect the regulator adaptor from the tank
and then reconnect. Follow the lighting procedure en-
suring the propane cylinder valve is opened before the
unit is.
