PATIO HEATER
OWNER’S MANUAL
Before Lighting:
1. Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service
person at least annually. If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the visible portion of the hose before each use of the appliance. If the
hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose
assembly specified by manufacturer.
3. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must
be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those
specified by the appliance manufacturer.
Lighting:
1. Turn on the valve on the gas cylinder.
2. Press and turn the control knob to HIGH (maximum) position (counter-clockwise
90o). (Figure 1)
3. Holding down the control knob, press the igniter button several times until the
main flame is ignited. Release the control knob 10 seconds after the ignition.
4. Turn the control knob to LOW (minimum) and leave it there for 5 minutes or more
before turning the knob to the desired temperature setting. (Figure 2)
5. If the burner flame goes out, turn off the heater and wait at least 5 minutes or
more to let the gas dissipate before re-lighting to avoid gas explosion.
Repeat steps 2 to 4.
NOTE:
Improper operation can cause injury or property damage. If burner fails
to remain lit, all valves should be closed and a waiting period of at least 5
minutes should pass before attempting to light.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Turning Gas Supply ON:
1. Your heater was designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do NOT use it
inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors or liquids.
3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections
are tight and there are no leaks.
4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed
during assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.
NOTE:
The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. Turn the knob to the
level of heat desired.
CAUTION: Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use. Smoke and
odor from the burning of oils used in manufacturing will appear. Both smoke and
odor will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The heater should NOT produce
thick black smoke.
If you experience any ignition problem please consult “Troubleshooting” on
page 38.

Abnormal
Be careful when attempting to manually ignite this heater. Holding in the control
knob for more than 10 seconds before igniting the gas will cause a ball of flame
upon ignition.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
When heater is ON:
Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The color is more visible at
night. Burner will display tongues of blue and yellow flame. These flames should not
be yellow or produce thick black smoke, indicating an obstruction of airflow through
the burners. The flame should be blue with straight yellow tops. If excessive yellow
flame is detected, turn off heater and consult “Troubleshooting” on page 38.
