SAFETY CHECK
WARNING : ONLY AN AUTHORIZED GAS TECHNICIAN SHOULD INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
Check for leaks
All connections on the patio heater have been
checked for leakage at the factory. During
transportation and handling, some connections
may have loosened. Follow these steps to check
the gas hose/regulator/cylinder connections:
2) Spoon or brush several drops (or use a squirt
bottle) of the solution onto the hose connection,
regulator, and cylinder connection.
3) Turn on the gas cylinder valve. Inspect the
connections and look for bubbles.
4) If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe.
5) If bubbles appear, there is leakage. Loosen
and retighten this connection. If the connection
still leaks, please call our toll-free service line
at: 1-866-814-0585.
Note:
1) The cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapour withdrawal.
2) The cylinder used must include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve.
The hose assembly must be replaced before
operating the appliance if there is
evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the
hose is damaged.
At least once a year, a complete inspection of the
entire gas path components should be performed.
If parts need to be replaced, perform a leak
test after reassembly. These procedures should
be performed by a professional technician.

1) Make a leakage solution by mixing 1 part liquid
dish soap and 3 parts water.

OPERATION
Turn the knob counterclockwise to “ignite”. Hold the
knob down to activate “IGNITE” until lit up. (It is also
possible to ignite the appliance using a long match, by
approaching the burner through the ignition hole
provided.) If the pilot does not light up, turn the knob
clockwise to “OFF” position. Wait 5 minutes and repeat
the procedure.

4) When the pilot is ignited, keep the knob pressed for up to
20 seconds to heat the thermocouple flame sensor, then
release it (the first ignition generally takes more time,
as the gas circuit is full of air).
5) If the pilot does not stay ignited, repeat steps 3 and 4.
6) Turn the knob to “LOW “ position.
7) Adjust the heat input by turning the knob from “LOW“
to “HIGH” position, as required.
8) After igniting, turn the knob from “LOW “ to “HIGH”,
position and back, to check the flame stability.
9) In case of an accidental breakdown of the flame (due to
wind or other reasons), a Flame Safely Device (FSD) will
automatically shut off the gas supply within 90 seconds.
If you experience any ignition problem, consult the
“Troubleshooting" section.
These igniting instructions must be followed. An unsafe
condition can occur if they are not followed correctly.
If the 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.

LOCATING THE HEATER FOR USE
CAUTION: WHEN CERTAIN MATERIALS OR ITEMS ARE LEFT ABOVE, BESIDE, OR UNDER
THIS HEATER WHILE IN USE, THEY WILL BE EXPOSEDTO RADIANT HEAT AND COULD BE
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.
This heater is primarily used for heating
outdoor patios, decks, spas, pools, and open
working areas.
Always make sure that adequate fresh air
ventilation is provided. Follow the spacing
tolerances shown in the following right figure at
all times.
This heater must be placed on level, firm
ground.
Never operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep away from areas where gasoline or other
flammable liquids or vapours are stored or used.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
DO NOT touch or move the heater for
at least 45 minutes after use. Allow
all the burner elements to cool down
before touching.
FOR YOUR SAFETY ,
WARNING:
NOTE:
In a salt-air environment (such as
near an ocean); corrosion occurs
more quickly than normal.
Frequently check for corroded
areas and repair them promptly.
NOTE:
Wait until the heater is cooled down
before covering.
Cleaning and 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 of 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.
Keep the appliance area free and clean from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapours, and
liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air and keep the ventilation opening(s) of the
cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
Gas odour with an extreme yellow flame tipping.
The heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
The heater glow is excessively uneven.
The heater makes popping noises.
Visually check burner flames.
Check if there are cracks or worn sections on the hose. If
so, please call our customer service to replace the hose.
At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for
the presence of spiders, spider webs, or other insects.
The air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner.
and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of possible
blockage include:
Check for cracks or worn sections.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
NOTE:
Wait until heater is cool before
covering.
Turn the control knob to "OFF" position.
Turn the LPG cylinder to "OFF" position.
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 the heater to protect exterior surfaces and
help prevent buildup in air passages.
Spiders and insects can nest in the burner or holes. This
dangerous condition can damage the heater and make it
unsafe to use. Clean the burner holes using a heavy-
duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away
smaller particles.
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean the heat
STORAGE.
Between uses.
During extended periods of inactivity or transportation
Turn the LPG cylinder to "OFF" position.
Unhook the fixing chain.
Disconnect the regulator from the LPG cylinder by turning
counterclockwise and move LPG cylinder to a secure,
well-ventilated location outdoors. DO NOT store in a
location that will exceed 125 °F (51.6 °C).
Remove 2-pc thumb screws. Remove the knob from the
control panel and store indoor. Keep the gas chamber door
p artially open. Turn the heat exchange tube clockwise.
