IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Prior to assembling your appliance, the following
must be reviewed. Compliance with the following
should result in satisfactory heater operation.
This instruction manual should be retained for
future reference. The installation must conform
with local codes or authority having jurisdiction.
1. The appliance is intended for heating
residential and non-residential outdoor
spaces. The installation must conform with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the Australian Standard AS 5601.
2. Adequate clearance around air openings
into the combustion chamber, clearances
from combustible materials, provisions for
accessibility and for combustion and
ventilating air supply must be maintained at
all times when the appliance is operating.
3. Proper clearance from combustible materials
must be maintained at all times.
The minimum clearances are as follows:
Minimum Clearance from Combustibles
Side 500mm Rear 500mm
Ceiling 500mm Below 500mm
Combustible materials are considered to be
wood, compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic,
plexiglas or other materials capable of being
ignited and burned. Such materials shall be
considered combustible even though flame
proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered.
Additional clearance may be required for glass,
painted surfaces and other materials which may
be damaged by radiant or convection heat.
4. Heaters must be placed on a level and
adequate footing and be readily accessible.
5. The gas manifold supply pressure must
be regulated at 2.75 kPa utilising an AGA
approved regulator (supplied with heater).
6. The appliance must be inspected before
each use, and at least annually by a qualified
service person.
a. The appliance area must be kept clear
and free of combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapours
and liquids.
b. Gas orifices and burner must be kept
clear of dirt and cobwebs. Flow of and
ventilation air through the perforated
portions of the heater must not be
obstructed. Cleaning with a soft brush
before use and at least every six months
is recommended.
c. All gas connections should be checked
for leaks utilising a soap solution. NEVER
use a flame for this purpose.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION - OUTDOOR USE ONLY
d. The flame pattern at the emitter grid
should be visually checked whenever
heater is operated. If flames extend
beyond surface of the emitter grid or
black spot is accumulating on the emitter
grid or reflector, the heater should be
turned off immediately. The heater should
not be operated again until the unit is
serviced and or repaired.
e. Any cleaning agent used on the heater
should be of a non-combustible and non-
corrosive nature.
f. The stainless steel emitter grid normally
does not require cleaning and should
NEVER be painted.
7. The hose must be protected from contact
with hot or sharp surfaces both during use
and while in storage. The hose assembly
should be visually inspected prior to each
use of the heater. If excessive abrasion or
wear is evident, or the hose is cut, it must
be replaced prior to operating the heater.
The replacement hose assembly may be
obtained from the manufacturer.
8. DO NOT use any pressure regulator or hose
assembly other than those supplied with the
appliance. Replacement pressure regulator
and hose assembly must be those specified.
Replacement parts may be obtained from
the manufacturer or your local sales
representative.
9. Installation and use of this heater must
conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the Standards
of Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases.
10. This heater is designed to operate with
a standard 9Kg propane cylinder with
Approved Cylinder Connection.
11. The valve outlet must be maintained in good
condition. When the cylinder is not in
use, be sure to cover it with a dust cap. A
leak test should be performed with soapy
water whenever connecting a new cylinder.
NEVER use a match to test for leaks.
12. The gas cylinder must be turned off
whenever the heater is not in use. When
the heater is to be stored indoors, the
propane cylinder and the heater must be
disconnected and the cylinder stored in
accordance with the Standard for Storage
and Handling of Liquefied Gases.
13. The heater has been designed with several
safety features which include a tip over
switch.
Screw the coupling nut of regulator into the
cylinder valve outlet.

Heater specifications can be found on the data
label.
Any modification to the heater not described in
the installation instructions may compromise the
safety of this appliance. Special concern is as
follows:
(1) DO NOT shorten post length;
(2) DO NOT bypass thermocouple safety;
(2) DO NOT operate heater without the reflector;
Clothing or other flammable materials should not
be hung from the heater, or placed on or near
the heater. The area above the burner may be
extremely hot. Direct contact with these metal
surfaces should be avoided in order to prevent

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure that the control knob is off. Slowly open the gas
cylinder valve.
2. Press and turn the control knob to ‘LIGHT’ position, the
rotary piezo will make a clicking sound.
3. Check for pilot flame through pilot lighting hole. If pilot does
not light turn control knob to ‘OFF’ position and try again
from the start. Several attempts may be necessary.
4. With the pilot alight keep control knob depressed for 15
seconds then turn the control knob to ‘LOW’.
5. For maximum heat turn control knob to ‘HIGH’.
6. To turn heater off, turn control knob to ‘OFF’.
Note: Allow one minute to purge air through to pilot after
connection to a new cylinder.

SAFE APPLIANCE LOCATIONS
This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation,
without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by
wind and natural convection.
Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and
no overhead cover (see Example 1).
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two
walls (see Example 2 & 3).
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls,
the following will apply:
at least 25% of the total wall area is completely open, and
at least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted (see Example 4 & 5).
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total wall area shall be and remain open and
unrestricted.
