OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE AND AFTER EVERY GAS CYLINDER CHANGE, THE GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM MUST BE
PURGED OF AIR BEFORE IGNITING! TO DO THIS, TURN THE CONTROL DIAL ANTI-CLOCKWISE TO THE
PILOT SETTING. PRESS THE DIAL IN AND HOLD FOR 1 MINUTE BEFORE ATTEMPTING IGNITION.
TO LIGHT THE PILOT
⚫Check all connections prior to each use.
⚫Turn on gas supply at the bottle.
⚫Press and turn the control dial anti-clockwise to the PILOT
position, see right photo.
⚫Hold the dial down while pressing the IGNITION button
repeatedly until the pilot flame is lit, then continue to hold the
dial down for 10 seconds until the pilot remains lit after
releasing dial.
⚫If pilot fails to ignite, press and turn the dial clockwise to the
OFF position before repeating.
TO LIGHT THE PATIO HEATER
•Before lighting the patio heater, the pilot light should be lit with the dial set to PILOT.
•Press the dial and turn anti-clockwise to the HIGH position.
•When the mesh glows, the dial can be turned clockwise to the desired setting.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn
the control dial to the pilot position. Then turn the dial to the level of heat desired.
RE-LIGHTING
•Turn Control Dial to OFF.
•Wait at least 5 minutes, to let gas dissipate, before attempting to re-light the pilot.
•Repeat the “Lighting” steps.
AFTER USE
•Press the dial down & turn clockwise to the OFF position
•Turn off the valve on the gas cylinder or regulator after use.
•Disconnect the gas bottle and allow this appliance to cool before moving the appliance.

LEAK TESTING
NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
NEVER LEAK TEST WHILE SMOKING.
The gas connections on this appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment.
This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leaks and an immediate
check is required if the smell of gas is detected.
•Make a soap solution using 1 part of washing up liquid to 3 parts water.
The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the
leak tested points shown in the figure above.
•The valve of the gas cylinder should be in the OFF position at this point
of the leak test. Once the soapy solution is applied to the gas
connections, the valve of the gas cylinder needs to be turned to the ON
position.
•Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if a leak is present.
•In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings,
then turn the gas supply on and recheck.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
•The regulator and hose assembly to be used must conform to local requirements.
•Never use a gas cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or foot ring. A dented or rusty gas cylinder may be
hazardous and should be checked by a gas supplier.
•Never connect this appliance to an unregulated gas source.
•When the appliance is not in use, turn the gas cylinder OFF, before disconnecting the gas bottle.
•Always perform a leak test on gas connections whenever a cylinder is connected. If bubbles form in the leak test
solution, do not use. Never use a flame to test for leaks.
CONNECTING TO A GAS CYLINDER
•Use a 9 kg gas cylinder. Please refer to your gas supplier for suitable gas cylinder.
•Refer to your gas supplier for instructions on the use of your gas cylinder.
•Only change gas cylinders outdoors or in well-ventilated areas away from naked flames and any other source of
ignition.
•The gas cylinder must always be used in an upright position.
•Ensure the control dial on the appliance is in the OFF position.
•Ensure the regulator is in the OFF position before connecting to the gas cylinder.
•Tighten all connections firmly and with a spanner where appropriate. The cylinder should be located in the base of
the unit.
•Check for leaks at all joints using soapy water. If a leak is found, tighten the joint and then re-test.

MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the following maintenance
activities on a regular basis:
•Keep exterior surfaces clean.
•Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or 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.
•Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulation air passageways clean. Signs of possible
blockage include:
•Gas odour with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
•Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
•Heater glow is excessively uneven.
•Heater makes popping noises.
•Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the 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. If any carbon deposits develop, clean the dome and burner with warm
soapy water.
Note: In environments with a high salt content (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than
normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them.
SERVICING
•Please consult your supplier for servicing this appliance and replacement of its parts. The servicing of the appliance
shall be carried out only by authorised personnel.
•Do not use unauthorised parts or components for this appliance, only use original equipment replacement parts
and components. The use of unauthorised parts or components will void the warranty and can create unsafe
condition.
STORAGE
There is no limitation on the storage of the appliance indoors provided that the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance.
Between uses or before storage:
•Turn the control dial OFF
•Turn the gas cylinder OFF
•Disconnect the gas bottle.
Store the heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail,
snow, dust and debris). If desired, cover to protect exterior surfaces and to prevent build up in air passages.
Note: Wait until heater is cool before covering.
