SAFETY CHECK
Check for leaks
All connections on the patio heater have been
checked for leakage at the factory. In
transportation and handling some connections
may have loosened. Follow these steps to check
the gas hose/regulator/cylinder connections:
1) Make leakage solution by mixing 1 part liquid
dish soap and 3 parts water.
2) Spoon or brush several drops (or use squirt
bottle) of the solution onto hose connection,
regulator & cylinder connection.
3) Turn on gas cylinder valve. Inspect the
connections and look for bubbles.
4) If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe.
5) If bubbles appear,there is leakage. Loosen
and re-tighten this connection. If connection
still leaks, please call customer service:
1-866-814-0585.
Note:
1) The cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal;
2) The cylinder used must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve.

WARNING : ONLY AN AUTHORIZED GAS TECHNICIAN SHOULD INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the
appliance being put into operation if there is
evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the
hose is damaged.
At least once a year, a complete inspection of the
entire gas path components should be performed.
If there is need to replace parts, proceed to leak
test after reassembly (These procedures should
be performed by a professional technician).

OPERATION

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE HEATER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL PRECAUTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Before turning gas supply ON
Your heater was designed and approved for OUTDOOR
USE ONLY. DO NOT use it inside a building or any other
enclosed area.
Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.
Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation.
Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks.
Be sure the access panel is clear of debris.
Be sure any component removed during assembly or
servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.
Before Lighting
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.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
If at any time you are unable to
light burner and smell gas, wait 5
minutes to allow gas to dissipate
before attempting to light heater.
If after 1 minute, you are unable
to light burner, wait 5 minutes
and allow flammable vapors to
dissipate before attempting to
light heater.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
DO NOT touch or move heater
for at least 45 minutes after use.
Allow emitter and heat reflector
to cool before touching.
WARNING
Lighting operations should
comply with Lighting Instruction
section. Improper lighting
operations will cause serious
injury and explosion.
Lighting instructions
1) Turn the control knob to “OFF” position.
2) Turn LP cylinder gas valve to fully open position.
3) Turn knob counter-clockwise to “IGNITE”. Hold knob
down to activate “IGNITE” until lit. (It is also possible to
ignite the appliance using a long match, by approaching
the burner through the ignition hole provided.)
If pilot does not light, turn knob clockwise to “OFF”. Wait
5 minutes and repeat the procedure.

OPERATION
12
4) When the pilot is lit keep knob pressed for up to 20
seconds to heat the thermocouple flame sensor,then
release it (first ignition generally takes more time,
because the gas circuit is full of air).
5) If the pilot does not stay lit, repeat steps 3 and 4.
6) Turn knob to “LOW “ position.
7) Adjust the heat input by turning the knob from the “LOW“
position, to the “HIGH” position, as required.
8) After lighting, turn knob from “LOW “ to “HIGH”, position
and back, to check flame stability.
9) In case of accidental break down of the flame (due to
wind or other reasons), a Flame Safely Device (FSD) will
automatically shut-off gas supply within 90 seconds.
If you experience any ignition problem consult the following
“Troubleshooting”.
These lighting instructions must be followed. An unsafe
condition can occur if they are not followed correctl
Flame Characteristic
The flame pattern at the emitter screen should be visually
checked whenever heater is operated.

OPERATION
NOTE:
The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate
excessive noise from the burner, turn the Control Knob to the "LOW"
position. Then, turn the knob to the level of heater desired.
When heater is ON:
Emitter grid will become bright red due to intense heat. The color
is more visible at night.
These flames should not or produce thick black smoke, indicating an
obstruction of airflow through the burners.
Operation pressure checked:
If the flame is very small, this is because the supply pressure is not
enough. Please refill gas cylinder.
Re-light:
1) Turn the control knob to "OFF" position.
2) Wait five (5) minutes before attempting to relight pilot.
3) Repeat steps beginning with step 2 of the lighting instruction
above.
Shut down instructions:
1) Push in and turn control knob clockwise to "OFF" position.
2) Turn LP cylinder gas valve clockwise to "OFF" position when
heater is not in use.
Note: After use, some discoloration of the emitter screen is normal.
The Event of Gas Leakage:
1) Turn the control knob to "OFF" position.
2) Turn LP cylinder valve to “OFF” position.
3) Wait 5 minutes to allow gas to dissipate.
4) If odor continues, immediately call gas supplier.
WARNING : Heater will be hot after use.
Handle with extreme care.
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.

Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use
flammable of corrosive cleaning agents.
While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area
around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all times. If
the gas control is exposed to water in any way, do NOT
try to use it. It must be replaced.
Keep the appliance area free and clean from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids; not obstructing the flow of combustion and
ventilation air; keeping the ventilation opening(s) of the
cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.

MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
NOTE:
wait until heater is cool before
covering.
Turn the control knob to "OFF" position.

to help prevent build up in air passages.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This
dangerous condition can damage heater and render it
unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty
pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away
smaller particles.
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean heat
reflector and heat exchange tube with warm soapy
water if any carbon deposits develop.
STORAGE:
Between uses:
During periods of extended inactivity or when
transporting;
Turn LP cylinder to "OFF" position
Unhook fixing chain.
Disconnect the regulator from the LP Cylinder by turning
counter-clockwise and move LP cylinder to a secure,
well-ventilated
Remove 2pcs thumb screws. Remove knob from control
panel and store in door. Keep gas chamber door partially
open. Turn heat exchange tube clockwise. Slowly
descend heat exchange tube.
Always remove the battery from the patio heater if not
being used for long periods of time as battery leakage can
cause corrosion in the battery ignition housing.
