OPERATION
Before performing a leak test, be sure that no sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area.
Connect the propane gas tank to the regulator and turn the valve on the unit to the “o” posion. Brush a soap
and water mixture on all connecons. Turn the gas supply on; if bubbles occur on any connecon, there may be
a leak. If you smell gas or a leak is discovered, turn the gas valve o, disconnect propane gas tank and do not
use the appliance unl the leak is repaired.
Do not use the heang unit without inspecng the gas hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must
replace the hose (if applicable).
TO LIGHT
1. Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder.
2. Press and turn the variable control knob to the ‘HI’ posion.
3. Press down the variable control knob and hold for 30 seconds.
4. While holding down the variable control knob, press the igniter
buon several mes unl the burner head ame ignites.
Release the variable control knob 10 seconds aer the ignion.
5. If a new tank has just been connected, allow at least one
minute or more for the air in the gas pipeline to purge out.
6. The ame can be watched and checked from the viewing hole
located on the base of the burner.
7. Turn the variable control knob to the ‘LO’ posion for
5 minutes or more before turning the knob to desired
temperature seng. If a small ame is needed, turn the
variable control knob to the “LO” psoion.
8. If the burner ame goes out accidentally or is blown out by
wind, turn o the heater and wait at least 5 minutes or more
to let the gas dissipate before lighng again to avoid possible gas explosion. Repeat steps 2 through 4.
When lit for the rst me, the heater may emit a slight odor and smoke. This is a normal and temporary
condion. Emier screen will become a bright red due to the heat. The color is more visible at night. Flame
paerns should be a blue ame; these ames should not be yellow in color, which indicates an obxtrucon of
airow through the burners.
TO EXTINGUISH
1. Turn control knob clockwise to the “o” posion.
2. Close the cylinder valve on the propane gas tank if you don’t intend to use it for a long me.
