Step 1
Assemble heater per "
Assembly Instructions
" on
page 3 of this manual. Make sure control knob is
in "OFF" position.
Step 2
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part
dishwashing liquid to three parts water) to test
for gas leaks in the connection. Apply a generous
amount of the soapy mixture to the propane
cylinder and fitting (located underneath heater).
Step 3
With the control knob in the "OFF" position, check
for bubbles where propane canister attaches to
heater fitting. If soapy mixture starts bubbling,
gas is leaking through the connection.
Disconnect the propane canister. Retighten the
connection that is leaking gas. Repeat procedure
with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS.
Step 4
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT
LEAST 5 MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO
DISSIPATE BEFORE LIGHTING THE HEATER.
Carefully follow
"Operating Instructions"
to light
the heater and properly operate this unit.
GAS LEAK TESTING
