Test Firing Heater
Leak test all gas connections with soapy water. Soap bubbles indicate gas leakage. Do
not use an open flame to test for leaks. Test fire the heater following the lighting
instructions on the heater post.
To Light Pilot
Push and turn the control knob to “PILOT” position. Continue to hold the knob in, and
purge air from the system. When air is purged, while depressing the control knob,
depress the “spark igniter” button. View the pilot flame through the observation or match
lighting hole. Hold the control knob depressed for 45 seconds after lighting.
If the pilot does not light, try again. It might need two or three trials to light the pilot
burner. Note: for all models allow the required time to safely purge air through pilot
after connecting to new gas tank or other system.
After pilot is lit and it is mistakenly turned off, the knob will be in an immovable
position. Wait 90 seconds and the thermocouple will cool and knob will be released to
re-light pilot.
To Light Main Burner
After pilot is lit, wait 30 seconds and turn the control knob to the “ON” position.
WARNING
Smoke may appear around the emitter grid during the initial firing. This will only happen
on the first light up. The oils used in manufacturing are burning off.
To Turn Heater and Pilot Off
Turn control knob to the “PILOT” position. Depress slightly and turn to the “OFF”
position. Wait 5 minutes after shut down before relighting heater. For propane models,
turn the propane supply off when heaters are not in use.
R-Remote for 24 Volt models (remote switching ON/OFF)
Light pilot as above. Turn control knob to the “ON” position. Supply switched 24 Volt
power to the 24 V terminal on the heater. Switching 24 Volt power supply ON and OFF
will turn main burner ON and OFF.
