Operating Instructions
Inspect the visible portion of the hose before each use of the appliance. Inspect the entire hose
assembly at least annually.
Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections
are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check
the connection between the burner pipe and orifice.
Make sure the burner pipe fits over the orifice.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this
connection or follow these instructions
could cause a fire or an explosion which
can cause death, serious bodily injury, or
damage to property.
Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid
dishwashing soap with three parts water.
Make sure control knobs are off.
Turn LP gas tank ON at valve.
Spoon leak check solution at all "x" and arrow locations.
If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank "OFF", reconnect and re-test. If you continue to see
bubbles after several attempts, disconnect LP gas source and contact 1.800.762.1142 for
assistance.
If no bubbles appear after one minute turn tank "OFF", wipe away solution and proceed.
Before Turning Gas Supply ON
Your heater was designed and approved for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT use it inside a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors or liquids.
Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation.
Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks.
Be sure the access panel is clear of debris.
Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior
to starting.
Before Lighting
Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at
least annually.
If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes for gas to dissipate.
Lighting
1. Turn control knob to "OFF" position.
2. Turn on gas at LP gas tank.
3. Push in control knob and rotate to "ON" position. This will
activate the built-in ignitor and light the burner. If necessary,
keep depressing and rotating knob until burner lights.
4. Once burner is lit, hold control knob in for at least 30 seconds
and release.
5. If burner does not stay lit, turn to "OFF" position and wait 5
minutes and repeat steps 2
and 3.
6. If ignitor does not light burner, use a lit match positioned against
the bottom of emitter screen at burner location, and repeat steps
2 and 3.
7. Once burner is lit, rotate knob to desired heating level.
If you experience any ignition problem, turn off the heater and gas
supply, and consult "Troubleshooting".
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.
