Before performing a leak test, be sure that no sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area. Connect the propane gas
tank to the regulator and turn the valve on the unit to the "off" position. Brush a soap and water mixture on all connections. Turn the
gas supply on; if bubbles occur on any connection there may be a leak. If you smell gas or a leak is discovered turn the gas valve off,
disconnect propane gas tank and do not use the appliance until the leak is repaired.
Do not use the heating unit without inspecting the gas hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must replace the hose (if
applicable).
1. Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder.
2. Press and turn the variable control knob to the 'Hl' position.
3. Press down the variable control knob and hold for 30 seconds.
4. While holding down the variable control knob, press the igniter button several times until the burner head flame ignites.
Release the variable control knob 10 seconds after the ignition.
5. If a new tank has just been connected, allow at least one minute or more for the air in the gas pipeline to purge out.
6. The flame can be watched and checked from the viewing hole located on the base of the burner.
7. Turn the variable control knob to the 'LO' position for 5 minutes or more
before turning the knob to desired temperature setting.
If a small flame is needed, turn the variable control knob to the 'LO' position.
8. If the burner flame goes out accidentally or it is blown out by wind,
turn off the heater and wait at least 5 minutes or more to let the gas
dissipate before lighting again to avoid possible gas explosion.
Repeat steps 2 through 4.
