• If for some reason your igniter fails to deliver a
spark, your heater can be started by inserting a lit
match through the pilot view hole while pushing
the control knob in while in the “PILOT” position.
Note: If pilot fails to remain lit, all valves should be
closed and waiting period of at least 5 minutes should
pass before attempting to light.
If you experience any ignition problem please consult
the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
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.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned
on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn
the control knob to the pilot position. Then, turn the
knob to the level of heat desired.
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, tum off heater and consult
the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
RE-LIGHTING
Note: For your safety, control knob cannot be turned
off without first depressing control knob in pilot position
and then rotating it to off.
• Turn control knob to off.
• Wait at least 5 minutes, to let gas dissipate, before
attempting to relight pilot.
• Repeat the “Lighting” steps.
SHUTDOWN
• Turn the control knob clockwise to pilot (normally
the burner will make a slight popping sound when
extinguished). Burner will extinguish but the pilot will
remain on.
• To extinguish pilot, depress control knob and
continue to turn it clockwise to off.
• Turn the cylinder valve clockwise to off and
disconnect the regulator when the heater is not in
use.
Note: After use, some discoloration of the emitter
screen is normal.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Heater will be hot after use. Handle with extreme care.
