5.
When the oxygen depletion pilot flame comes on, you must hold the knob in for
10 to 20 seconds. During this time the pilot flame heats up the thermocouple.
When the thermocouple is hot it generates a small amount of voltage, which will
energize a small solenoid coil inside the gas valve. This energized coil permits the
valve to regulate propane into the burner.
6.
Adjust the burner by turning counter-clockwise to Low. To extinguish, turn the
knob all the way clockwise to off.
Caution: This heater consumes oxygen. You must supply sufficient outside
air to replace the oxygen used by the heater. This unit is equipped with an
oxygen depletion device which will turn off the pilot flame when the oxygen
level drops to 95% of normal. This, in turn, cools off the thermocouple,
which shuts off the main valve.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Gas Smell
1.
Extinguish all open flames and smoking materials, close both manual and solenoid
cylinder valves immediately. Make sure that the appliance valve is closed.
2.
Ventilate all interior compartments thoroughly. Maintaining as much ventilation as
possible, open cylinder valves. Make sure that the appliance valve is still closed.
Apply a mixture of liquid detergent and water to all connections, checking for bubbles
indicating a leak.
Do not use a flame to check for leaks
.
3.
When repair of the leak(s) has been completed, test the system with the aid of the
pressure gauge.
Inadequate Heat - Flame Burning Low or Gas Out
1.
Your system may be low on fuel - check your tank pressure gauge.
2.
The gas cylinder valve may not be fully open - make sure the handle is turned as far as
it will go in the counter-clockwise direction.
3.
The burner orifice may be obstructed. Let the burner cool, then remove the 4 machine
screws (2 each side) which secure the burner and valve assembly to the heater body.
Remove burner assembly, take off the burner cap, and remove the orifice (you will
require a long 7mm or 9/32” socket or nut driver). Clean out the orifice and reinstall
the part.
