OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE AND AFTER EVERY GAS CYLINDER CHANGE, GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM MUST BE
PURGED OF AIR BEFORE IGNITING! TO DO THIS, TURN THE CONTROL KNOB ANTI-CLOCKWISE TO THE
PILOT SETTING. PRESS KNOB IN AND HOLD FOR 3 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING IGNITION.
TO LIGHT THE PILOT
⚫Gas Leak Test all connections prior to each use.
⚫Turn on Gas Supply at the regulator or cylinder.
⚫Press and turn control knob anti-clockwise to PILOT, see right photo.
⚫Hold knob depressed, press IGNITION button repeatedly until pilot flame is
lit, then continue to hold the knob depressed for 20 seconds until the pilot
remains it after releasing knob.
⚫If pilot flame fails to ignite or stay alight, press and turn the control knob
clockwise to OFF and repeat the process.
TO LIGHT THE PATIO HEATER
⚫The pilot should be lit and the control knob set to PILOT.
⚫Hold knob depress gently and turn anti-clockwise to HIGH.
⚫When the burner mesh glows red, turn knob clockwise from HIGH to LOW as needed.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the
control knob to the low position. Then slowly turn the knob to the level of heat desired.
RE-LIGHTING
⚫Turn Control Knob to OFF.
⚫Wait at least 5 minutes, to let gas dissipate, before attempting to re-light pilot.
⚫Repeat the “Lighting” steps.
TO EXTINGUISH
⚫Hold knob depressed & turn the knob clockwise to 'OFF'
⚫Close the valve of the gas cylinder or the regulator after use.
⚫Remove the gas bottle and allow this appliance to cool before attempting to move the appliance.
Note: After use, some discoloration of the emitter screen is normal. Close regulator after use, allow the
appliance to cool before moving.
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 liquid dish-washing soap 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 or regulator 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 or regulator 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 pressure regulator and hose assembly to be used must conform to local standard codes.
⚫Never use a gas cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or foot ring. A dented or rusty gas tank may be
hazardous and should be checked out by a gas supplier.
⚫Never connect this appliance to an unregulated gas source.
⚫When the appliance is not in use, turn the gas supply OFF.
⚫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 13 kg Propane 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 a well ventilated area away from naked flames and any other source of
ignition.
⚫The gas cylinder must always be used in an upright position.
⚫Close the heater control knob by turning fully clockwise.
⚫Close the gas cylinder tap and then attach the regulator onto the gas cylinder.
⚫Tighten all connections firmly and with a spanner where appropriate. The cylinder should be located on the
cylinder base.
⚫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 odor 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. INFESTATIONS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
⚫Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. If any carbon deposits develop, clean reflector and burner with warm
soapy water.
⚫
Note: in a salt-air environment (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently
check the corroded areas and clean them promptly.
