OWNER'S MANUAL
BeforeStartingYourHeater
Before you start your heater examine the heater
installation to determinethat:
• Areas immediately around the heater including
the air inlet and flue areas are free from
obstructions.
• Physical support
of the heateris sound.
• Thereis noobviousdeterioration
of the heater.
• Portable type heaters mustbe placed on level and
adequatefooting.
Startingand Shutting DownYourHeater
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 ofyour heater on the Basic
Lighting Instructions chart on page 6 and follow the
lighting instructions. If heater fails to light or does not
heatproperly discontinue use
of the heaterand contact
yourlocal distributor, orqualified service agency.
PerformingRoutine Maintenance
Overtime, particularlyduring long periods of disuse, the
heater can accumulate dirt and debris
in and around
the pilot and the burner. Routine maintenance should
be performed atleastonce a yearbya qualified service
agencyto insure the heateris operating properly. More
frequent service may
be required for heaters located
nearwaterfronts.
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
yourlocal dealerorthe factory.
StainlessSteel 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 detergentsolution and wiping it drywith asoftcloth
to bring backthe original shine. The stainless steel may
be expected to permanently darken around the top
of
the heater.
BeforeYou Remodel
Should you plan to make any changes to the patio or
building structure after heaters have been installed,
yourheaterinstallation must be reviewed bya qualified
agency to insure that clearances from combustible
material and ventilation requirements are maintained
afteralterations are complete. When plasticcurtains or
drops are used to enclose a patio you must take steps
to insure that all Sunglo
TM heaters have the required
permanent access to outside air. If a patio
is to be
partially enclosed a qualified agency familiar with this
type
of heating equipment must be consulted to insure
the safe operation ofthisequipment.

SUNGLd" INFRARED HEATERS
HEATER LAYOUT AND PATIO DESIGN
There are a number of
considerations in determining the
type and numberheaters
to be
used
and their location on your
outdoorpatio.
Concept of Patio Heating: Hot air is
not
an option for heating an outdoor
patio so a patio heater uses radiant
heatlikewe receive from the sun.
Radiant Heat: Is the type of heat you
receive from a fireplace, potbelly
stove, orthe sun. Itis
an infrared wave
length that heats objects without first
heating the intervening air. Unlike
ultra violet light there is no sunburn or
sun tanning affect. Infrared will not
attractinsects.
Patio Heater: Is an unvented gas-
fired infrared
heater designed to
concentrate radiant heat
in outdoor
areas.
Definition of Outdoors (For the
purposes
of these instructions). An
appliance is considered to be
outdoors if installed with shelter no
more inclusivethan:
1. With walls on all sides, but with no
overhead cover.
2. Within a partial enclosure which
includes an overhead cover and no
more than two side walls. These
side walls may
be parallel, as in a
breeze
way, or at right angles to
each other.
3. Within a partial enclosure which
includes an overhead cover and
three side walls, as long as 30
percent or more
of the horizontal
periphery of the enclosure is
permanentlyopen.
EFFECTIVE RANGE
(COVERAGE):
The comforting warmth from a single
Sunglo™ Heaterwill covera 12' to 20'
circle. The Sunglo™ is a "comfort"
heater," and the coverage is the area
in
which people will received a
comforting amount
of warmth. Some
people will require more or less
warmth than others to be comfortable
and will either turn the heater up or
down, or move closer or farther away
astheydesire.
WHERE TO LOCATE PATIO
HEATERS:
Sunglo™ Heaters naturally attract
people to their infrared warm glow.
Locate heaters where people can
readily gather, sit orstand comfortably,
and where furnishings
can easily be
moved to best accommodate the
radiating warmth.
DECK

PATIO HEATER
-HOUSE-
GENERAL RULES FOR
LOCATING HEATERS:
v .....
j
A Sunglo™ Patio Heater can operate
effectivelyto maintain comfort even
in
completely exposed areas, although
weather protected areas are
desirable. Weather and wind
protection allows the surrounding air
to
be warmed to enhance the direct
radiantwarming effect.
BreezyConditions:
Sunglo™ heaters are designed to
work well under a variety of outdoor
conditions, however under certain
conditions they work better than
others and under some conditions
they should not
be operated atall. The
heater can
be operated under breezy
conditions when the cross wind
is 0-
10 mph. Ifheaters are mounted on the
edge
of a precipice or sea cliff where
wind is directed upwards into the
reflector hood, damage to the heater
can occur. Upward thrusts
of wind can
also be cause by wind walls or
architectural elements near the
heater. The patio must be designed to
protectagainstthistype
of condition.
WHEN MULTIPLE
HEATERS ARE USED:
When more than one heateris used in
an area, it is generally preferable to
locate them close together. Multiple
heaters located
on 8' to 15' centers
give overlapping heat patterns
increasing the overall effective
coverageforeach heater.
CONTROL SYSTEMS:
Sunglo™heaters are available with a
variety of control systems from
manual controls requiring no
electrical connections to a 24 VAC
fully automatic ignition and control
system (see Basic Lighting
Instructions on page 6). It is
recommended that when multiple
heaters are used, that the electrical
circuitry
be arranged so heaters can
be switched individually or in groups
to provide maximum flexibility for
heatingthe patio.
