Warning Symbols
Safety is the most important consideration with installing, operating, and maintaining this gas
appliance. You will see the following symbols and signal words when there is a hazard related to
safety or property damage.
Application
This is not an explosion proof heater. Consult your local Fire
Marshall, insurance carrier and other authorities for approval of
the proposed installation.
Sunglo™ heaters are designed and certified for commercial indoor/outdoor and residential
outdoor applications and are NOT approved for use in any indoor residential application. This
includes, but not limited to, attached garages, living quarters, solarium, etc. Consult the local

Placement of explosive objects, flammable objects, liquid and vapors close to the heater may result in
explosion, fire, property damage, serious injury or death. DO NOT store, or use, explosive objectives,
liquids and vapor in the vicinity of the heater.
Failure to comply with published clearance to combustibles could result in death, injury and/or property
damage.
In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the
maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to the
combustible, Signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater switch or other off/on control or other
conspicuous location.
Hazards Include:
For maximum safety the building must be evaluated for hazards before installing the heater system
including the following:
A critical safety factor to consider before installation is the clearance to combustible materials. Clearance
to combustible is defined as the minimum distance you must have between the heater casing and the
combustible items. Consideration must also be made for moving objects around the infrared heater. The
following is a partial list of items to maintain clearances from:
Combustible Items: Moving Objects
When installing infrared heating systems, the minimum clearance from combustible materials must be
maintained. These distances are shown in page 8 and on the minimum clearance to combustibles label
found on the heater. If you are unsure of the potential hazards, consult your local Fire Marshall, fire
insurance carrier or other qualified authorities on the installation of gas-fired infrared heater for approval of
the proposed installation.

WARNING
TM
Repair and maintenance of Sunglo Heaters must be performed by a qualified service
technician. Reassembled heater must be thoroughly checked for leaks and checked for
proper operation before use.

Before Starting Your Heater
Before you start your heater examine the heater
installation to determine that:
Areas immediately around the heater including
the air inlet and flue areas are free from
obstructions.
Physical support of the heater is sound.
There is no obvious deterioration of the heater.
Portable type heaters must be place on level and
adequate footing.
Starting and Shutting Down Your Heater
Sunglo heaters can utilize a variety of gas control
systems. With some models it is necessary to light a
pilot while other models have a fully automatic ignition
system. Identify the model of your heater on the Basic
Lighting Instructions chart on page 6 and follow the
lighting instructions. If heater fails to light or does not
heat properly discontinue use of the heater and contact
your local distributor, or qualified service agency.
Performing Routine Maintenance
Overtime, particularly during long periods of disuse, the
heater can accumulate dirt and debris in and around
the pilot and the burner. Routine maintenance should
be performed at least once a year by a qualified service
agency to insure the heater is operating properly. More
frequent service may be required for heaters located
near waterfronts.

Warning Labels
It is important that warning labels including the lighting
instruction are not removed from the heater. If labels
are damaged, replacement labels are available from
your local dealer or the factory.
Stainless Steel Care
Stainless steel does not “rust”; however air pollution
can leave brown deposits on heaters. We recommend
washing the stainless steel post and base only with a
mild detergent solution and wiping it dry with a soft cloth
to bring back the original shine. The stainless steel may
be expected to permanently darken around the top of
the heater.
Before You Remodel
Should you plan to make any changes to the patio or
building structure after heaters have been installed,
your heater installation must be reviewed by a qualified

Electrical ('V” and 'E' model only)
These heaters require 24 VAC to operate. The installer
must provide a NEC Class 2 transformer. Each heater
requires 20VA or 0.8 amperes. When multiple heaters are
connected to one transformer, the transformer must be
sized to accommodate the entire load.
Control wires used to electrically connect one or more
heaters together must have adequate capacity and
insulation temperature rating for the total connected load.
Use at least 18 GA wire up to 50 feet from heater to
transformer or wall switch. Use a minimum of 16 GA wire
for over 50 feet distance
If any of the original wire supplied with the appliance must
be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring material
having a temperature rating of at least 105º centigrade.

Installation Instructions
1. Hanging Frame Mounting: Before attaching
the heater to the U” shaped hanging frame,
mount the frame in position to the overhead
building structure. Use 1/2 inch diameter or
larger bolts on each side leg. Position the
frame to facilitate the connection of gas supply
piping, and on models equipped with an
electrical valve, the electrical supply wiring.
2. Gas Supply Piping: The piping provided with
the heater is assembled to nestle in the
channel of the hanging frame. Connect an
additional length of 1/2 inch pipe long enough
to clear the top of the frame.
Screw the heater onto the 1/2” NPT x 1 inch
long nipple at the outlet end of the piping. The
heater should be turned to allow the control
handle to face in the desired direction.
Note: A 1/8 inch NPT plugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, must be
installed immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the heater. Use a suitable
pipe thread sealant on all gas connections.
3. Heater Mounting: Set the heater (less ref
lector) with the piping assembly attached into
the suspended hanging frame. The piping will
nestle in the hanging bracket channel. Install
and tighten the two (2) 3/8 inch bolts supplied
with the frame and firmly secure the base of the
heater in place.
Electrical Supply: On the A244V 24 volt
model, the electrical inlet is provided on the
right side of the heater opposite the gas inlet
piping. The electrician should supply a
connection box as shown adjacent to the
heater electrical inlet and run ½” rigid
waterproof conduit up to the right just inside the
frame channel.

supply piping. Leak test all piping joints with a
soap-water solution. Do NOT use a match to
test for gas leaks.
5. Reflector Mounting: Attach the reflector by
means of the three (3) stainless steel wingnuts
at the top of the heater.
6. Heater Start-up: Follow the lighting and
operating instructions on the rating plate
