GENERAL INFORMATION:
• This heater is safe for indoor use in small recreational enclosures, having means for providing combustion air and ventilation, such
as enclosed porches, cabins, shing huts, trailers, tent trailers, tents, truck caps and vans. It may be used for emergency indoor
heating when connected to a disposable 1 lb. propane cylinder and for indoor use in commercial enclosures, having means
for providing combustion air and ventilation, such as construction trailers or temporary work enclosures.
• When the heater is cold or at room temperature, it will take a few minutes for the burner to turn bright orange. This is normal
and the heater is working properly. Also, during the initial lighting, the oil used during manufacturing process needs to burn off. This can
take up to 60 minutes of continuous burning. Some odor and yellow ames may occur during this time but will diminish after the burn-in
period.
• It is recommended not to use the heater in windy conditions. The heater may utter reducing the effectiveness of the
appliance and could have excessive pilot outages.
• When moving heater when lit or bumping heater setting it down, tip over switch may shut off heater. If this happens,
re-light.
• Operating time will vary depending on the heater setting and the supply cylinder size. See chart and "Cold Weather
Operations" section.
• NOTE: THIS HEATER MAY BE OPERATED WITH DISPOSABLE 1LB. PROPANE CYLINDERS OR WITH (1) REMOTE
REFILLABLE PROPANE CYLINDER MAX. 20 LBS USING DYNA-GLO KIT # HAKITDG WHICH INCLUDES A 12’ PROPANE
HOSE AND FUEL FILTER (SOLD SEPARATELY)
COLD WEATHER OPERATION:
• Cold weather is generally dened as ambient temperatures below 32 degrees F.
• 1 lb. propane cylinders have difculty producing sufcient gas at lower temperatures and can “freeze-up”, reducing the time of
operation by as much as 50-70%. For this reason, it is recommended to use only 20 lb. propane tanks under these conditions.
• If a 1 lb. tank is used in cold weather, such as in an ice shing hut, following are some operating suggestions;
1. Expect operating times to be signicantly reduced.
2. Never use only a single 1lb. tank on the Grab N Go 18K models.
3. Never set the heater directly on the ice. Set the heater on a rigid piece of ame retardant insulation and make sure the
ventilation slots on the bottom of the heater are not obstructed.
4. Elevate the heater slightly above the ground level. Insure the unit is level and secure and cannot be knocked over.
5. Adequate ventilation and combustion air must be provided.
6. Maintain all clearances as specied on Page 4.
Carefully watch the Heater for signs of the 1 lb. cylinder "freezing-up". If the lower portion of the burner starts to turn from
orange to blue and begins sputtering immediately shut off the heater and remove it from any enclosure.
WARNING:

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
