PREPARATION
Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with
package contents list and hardware contents above. If any part is missing or damaged, do not
attempt to assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
Estimated Assembly Time: 60 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included):
Phillips screwdriver w/ medium blade. Leak Detection Solution.
WARNING
California Proposition 65
Combustion by-products produced when using
this product contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and
other reproductive harm.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
• Never leave heater unattended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas
is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is
normally added to help detect leaks and can be
described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can
fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable
by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane
will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by
ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or
open flames of any kind many feet away from the
original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local
ordinances and codes or with ANS/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use.
WARNING
• Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface
temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to avoid
burning skin or igniting clothing.
• Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity
of the heater.
• Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials
from the heater, or place on or near the heater.
• Replace any guard or protective device removed for
servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The heater should be inspected
before use and annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary.
It is imperative that the control compartment, burners,
and circulating air passageway of the appliance be
kept clean.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
personal injury, or property damage.
CAUTION
SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure
propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
• During set up, check all connections and fittings for
leaks using soapy water. Never use a flame.
• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any
way or use with any device.
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the
heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.

Use a standard 20 lb. propane cylinder only.
(approximately 12.2 in. / 31cm. in diameter and 17.9 in.
/ 45.5cm high).
Use this heater only with a propane vapor
withdrawal supply system. See chapter 5 of the standard
for storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gas,
ANS/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department
should have this book. Storage of an appliance indoors
is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance. A cylinder must be stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of
children. A disconnected cylinder must have dust caps
tightly installed and must not be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area. The maximum inlet
gas supply pressure: 250 psi /1750 kPa. The minimum
inlet gas supply pressure: 5 psi /35kPa. Manifold
pressure with regulator provided: 11 inch:C/ 2.74 kPa.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with the appliance must be used. The installation must
conform with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes,with national fuel gas code, ANS Z223.1/NFPA54,
natural gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1,
or propane storage and handling code, B149.2.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance;
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full;
Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not
in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve that is provided with
the cylinder valve. Other type of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
A dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be
hazardous and should be checked by your cylinder
supplier. Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged
valve connection.
The cylinder must have a listed overfilling prevention
device. The cylinder must have a connection device
compatible with the connection for the appliance. The
cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. Never connect an unregulated propane
cylinder to the heater.
The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) or the standard for cylinders, spheres and
tubes for transportation of dangerous goods and
commission, CAN/CSA-B339.
Standard 20 lb. tank
12.2 in. / 31cm
17.9 in. / 45.5cm
The knob on the LP tank must be closed. Make sure that
the knob is turned clockwise to a full stop. The
cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal. Check that the control knob on the control
unit is turned off. Hold the regulator in one hand and
insert the nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple
is centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut connects
to the large outside threads on the valve outlet.
Hand-tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes
to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only.
To Disconnect: Fully close the tank valve by turning
clockwise. Turn the coupling nut counterclockwise
until the regulator assembly detaches.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
To check for a leak:
1. Make 2-3 oz. leak check solution (one part
liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts
water).
2. Apply several drops of solution where
regulator connects to cylinder and to all hose
and valve connections
3. Make sure all patio heater and light valves
are OFF.
4. Turn cylinder valve ON.
If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a
leak.
1. Turn cylinder valve OFF.
2. If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection:
Disconnect, reconnect, and perform another
leak check. Apply the soapy solution to all hose and
valve connections. If you continue to see bubbles
after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective
and should be returned to cylinder’s place of
purchase.
3. If leak is at hose/regulator connection:
This part is defective and you should contact the
customer service department for replacement.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.
NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.
WARNING
• Perform all leak tests outdoors.
• Extinguish all open flames.
• NEVER leak test when smoking.
• Do not use the heater until all connections have been
leak tested and do not leak.

If you experience any ignition problem please consult “Troubleshooting” on page 17.
Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use. Smoke and odor from the burning
of oils used in manufacturing will appear. Both smoke and odor will dissipate after approximately
30 minutes. The heater should NOT produce thick black smoke.
Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. Turn the knob to the level of heat desired.
Note: Improper operation, can cause injury or property damage. If pilot fails to remain lit, all valves
should be closed and a waiting period of at least 5 minutes should pass before attempting to light.
Lighting:
1. Turn on the valve on the gas cylinder.
2. Press and turn the control knob to "Pilot"position (anti-clockwise 90º). (Figure 1)
3. Holding down the control knob, press the igniter button several times until the pilot is ignited.
Release the control knob 10 seconds after the ignition.
4. Turn the control knob to LOW (minimum) and leave it there for 5 minutes or more before turning the
knob to the desired temperature setting. (Figure 2)
5. If the burner flame goes out, turn off the heater and wait at least 5 minutes or more to let the gas
dissipate before re-lighting to avoid gas explosion.
Repeat steps 2 to 4.
