Operating your Patio Heater
Page 15
Difficulty lighting
If the burner
doesn’t light first go, check the gas controls and try a couple more times. If
the burner still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before
trying again. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, consult your retailer before
proceeding.
Note:
Failure to follow the lighting procedures correctly can lead to a hazardous
condition.
Controlling the flames
The knobs have four basic positions: Off, Pilot, High and Low. You can achieve any
flame height between low and high by rotating the Patio Heater control knob between
these positions.
Checking the flame
The Pilot flame can be watched and checked from the small round window with sliding
lid located at the bottom of the flame screen (to the left of right side of the controller).
Look through the Patio Heater mesh so that you can see the flames. They should be a
soft blue colour with yellow tips. If the flames are too yellow, there is too much gas and
not enough air. The flame will be inefficient and will give off too much smoke. If the flame
is too pale, there is too much air and not enough gas. If either of these situations occur
you may need to clean the burners
Note
:
‘Blowback’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner, towards the top.
It can be recognised by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner. It is not
dangerous unless it is allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the burner off, wait a
few seconds then relight.
