BEFORE TURNING THE GAS SUPPLY “ON”
Visually inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts or wear. If the hose leaks it
must be replaced prior to use. The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufac-
turer. Make sure the surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors or liquids.
BEFORE LIGHTING
For your safety, if relighting a hot heater, always wait 5 minutes. The heater should be inspected
(emitter screen, gas hookup, pilot assembly) before each use, and at least annually by a qualified
service person.
To light:
1) Open door.
2) Make sure regulator hose is connected to the heater intake pipe and regulator is connected to the
LP tank with both connections tight and leakproof.
3) Turn supply tank valve in a counter-clockwise direction. Check for leaks by applying soapy water to
the tank and hose connections.
4) Turn control knob counter clockwise to the pilot position.
5) Depress and hold in the control knob to begin pilot gas flow, hold in the control knob for (3)
minutes on new installations or cylinder changes to purge air from the lines, or (5) seconds for
regular relight.
6) While depressing knob, depress the igniter button which will snap indicating it has produced a spark
which should light the pilot. If not, depress control again and depress the igniter until lit or match
light.The pilot is located behind the match hole cover. Rotate the disc upward from the hole for
match lighting or viewing (see figure 2 on page 5).
7) Once the pilot is lit, continue to hold in the control knob for 30 seconds or until the pilot remains
lit after knob is released.
8) The burner may now be turned on to the full on position (all the way counter-clockwise) and then
reduce to the desired heat range.
9) Close door.
Relighting:
1) Turn control knob to off position.
2) Wait (5) minutes before attempting to relight pilot.
3) Repeat steps beginning with step (4) above.
Shut down instructions:
1) Turn control knob clockwise to the off position, the burner will make a slight popping sound when
extinguished.This is a normal condition.
2) Turn LP-tank gas valve clockwise to “OFF” position when heater is not in use.
