TROUBLE SHOOTING
DAYVA PREMIERE OUTDOOR HEATER
PROBLEM 1
Burner won’t remain lit.
CAUSE A
Possible Leak
SOLUTION
Check all connections
1. Use liquid soap to find leaks. Pour over
connection between hose and regulator and
regulator to tank. If soap bubbles, leaks are present.
* With all Propane tanks in the US, if a leak is
present the tank will automatically shut-down.
2. Use teflon tape on all connections.
3. Tighten all connections.
4. Check for leaks again. NEVER USE AN OPEN
FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
4 Re-light heater to test.
CAUSE B
Thermocouple may be too tight on valve.
* If thermocouple is too tight on valve, it will limit the
amount of millivolt electricity, which keeps the valve
flowing gas.
SOLUTION
Loosen Thermocouple
1.Remove cover opposite side the control knob with
phillips screwdriver.
2. With a wrench, loosen thermocouple connection
to valve (Copper lead with 1/4” flare fitting)
3. Hand tighten and slightly tighten with wrench. Do
NOT torque or over tighten.
4. Re-light heater to test.
CAUSE C
An Obstruction may be in the Orifice
(see illustration #4 on page 2)
* An obstruction will make the gas flow improperly
and prevent the flame from touching the
thermocouple properly.
