connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles continue appearing contact your supplier. If the leak is at the regulator/cylinder connection
disconnect from cylinder, reconnect and perform another leak check. If soap bubbles are still seen, cylinder valve is defective. Return cylinder to
its place of purchase.

Leak Test
• Gas hose connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete gas leak check must be performed at the
installation site due to possible mishandling during the transit process.
• Leak testing: Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition.
• A full gas cylinder is required. This test must be done before initial use, annually and whenever any gas Components are replaced or serviced.
• 1. Mix a solution of water and washing up liquid, then pour onto the connection between the joints and connections of the regulator, hose,
manifolds and valves. See Leak Testing Diagram below for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn the gas regulator ON.

Troubleshooting
• If no bubbles are present - This indicates the connection is leak safe.
• If bubbles are present - Tighten the hose clip further and retest for leaks
• If bubbles continue to appear - please contact your gas supplier or heater distributor
• 2. If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply and disconnect it.
• 3. Do not use the patio heater until the leak has been corrected.
Regulator and Hose
• Only use regulators and hose approved for LPG at the above pressures. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is
recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture.
• The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the heater.
• The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. The length of the hose must be 1.5 meters (maximum).
OPERATION AND STORAGE
• TO TURN THE HEATER ON
• WARNING: Please ensure the glass tube has not been damaged before operation
• 1. Ensure the variable control knob is at the OFF position.
• 2. Connect the gas regulator to a compatible gas cylinder.
• 3. Push and turn the variable control knob to the “Pilot “ position and hold for 60 seconds. Whilst still holding the control knob down, press the
ignition button. A pilot ame should appear.
• 4. Once the blue pilot ame stays alight constantly, let go of the variable knob.
• 5. Turn the variable control knob to the desired temperature position -Lo to Hi.
• IMPORTANT NOTE When lighting the heater for the rst time or a new cylinder is connected, the air inside the hose must be purged. This process
will take a few minutes as liqueed petroleum gas is heavier than air.
• As a result the variable control knob should be pressed down at the Pilot position for 3 Minutes instead of the normal 60 second period.
• This ensures the gas purges the air in the hose and passes from the cylinder through to the main burner.
• TO TURN THE HEATER OFF
• 1. Turn the variable control to the PILOT position.
• 2. Push and turn the variable control knob to the OFF position.
• 3. Turn the regulator connected to the gas cylinder to the OFF position.
• STORAGE
• Always turn the regulator connected to gas cylinder OFF after use.
• Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder if the heater is not in use.
• Never store the gas cylinder indoors or without adequate air ventilation.
Maintenance
• CLEANING AND CARE
• Wipe off surfaces with soft, moist cloth. Do not clean the heater with cleaning products that are combustible or corrosive.
• Remove debris and insects from the burner periodically to keep it clean and safe for use.
• Cover the burner unit with the optional protective cover when the heater is not in use.
