Connecting to Gas Supply
IMPORTANT!
This heater requires a hose & regulator which are
defined in the instruction. Avoid twisting the hose.
1. To connect LP cylinder, insert regulator end fitting into cylinder
valve, rotate coupling nut clockwise and tighten.
2. Open valve on propane cylinder slowly. If the valve is not
opened slowly, the excess flow check valve in the
regulator will stop the flow of gas. If this should happen, close
the valve, wait one minute and re-open, slowly.
VENTILATION
Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at least
2,800 sq. cm for each 29 Kw/H. of heater output. Provide a larger
opening if more heaters are being used.
The Propane (LP) gas pressure regulator and hose assembly
supplied with the heater must be used
without alteration (when supplied).
INSTALLATION
1. Inspect LP cylinder to ensure it is in good condition and hose
connection to heater.
2. Connect regulator to a gas supply cylinder.
NOTE:
Optimum efficiency is achieved when the heater uses
the appropriate full LP cylinder
3. Slowly open the LP cylinder. Leak test all gas connections with
50/50 soap and water solution prior to start-up. Soap bubbles
indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use a match or flame to test for
gas leaks.
Lighting Instructions
1. Turn the knob on the LP cylinder valve counterclock-
wise to open.
2. Press down the control knob and hold for 30 seconds.
While holding down the control knob, press the igniter
button several times until the burner ignites. Release the
control knob about 1--20 seconds after the ignition.

NOTE: If this is first time use for heater or LP cylinder
has been replaced, it may take a couple of seconds
for the fuel to reach the heater. continue to hold the
flame until the ceramic plaques ignite. If they do not
ignite after 15 seconds, remove the flame, close the
LP cylinder, wait 5 minutes for any propane to dis-
sipate and repeat steps 1-2.
Shutdown Instructions
.
1. Turn the knob at the LP cylinder clockwise to the OFF
position
2. After the plaques have stopped burning (no longer glow-
ing), disconnect Regulator Hose assembly from the LP
cylinder.
NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT HEATER BEFORE USE AND AT
LEAST ANNUALLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.
Maintenance / Storage
Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator
assembly and remove the LP cylinder from the heater
before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason
the heater is to be stored indoors, the heater MUST be
disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the cylinder stored
outdoors in a well- ventilated area, out of the reach of chil-
dren. The plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied with
the LP cylinder must be reinstalled on the valve to protect
the fitting from damage. Regularly check the hose and
replace if necessary. This appliance must be left in a safe
condition, must be moved from the danger situation such
as high temperature, combustible and so on.
NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done by a
qualified service person.
Save all packaging materials that came with your heater,
and re-package the heater for safe storage. Be sure to
inspect the heater before each use to look for any such
obstructions such as spiderwebs. Be sure to keep the air
passage-ways, burner and combustion areas clean. This
heater should receive a thorough cleaning at least once
every 30 days of operation. You may need to clean the
heater more often if conditions are naturally dirty.
Clean the Ceramic plaques using compressed air below
30 PSI to prevent damage.
HOW TO CHANGE A CYLINDER
1. Cylinders must be replaced in a non-flammable and
non-smoking environment.
2. When you need to replace your empty cylinder ,turn the
gas off first.
3. Make sure that the heater is extinguished completely.
4. Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder and
