NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
3
GENERAL INFORMATION:
• This heater is for outdoor use only.
• When the heater is cold or at room temperature, it will take a few minutes for the burner to turn bright orange. This is normal and the
heater is working properly. Also, during the initial lighting, the oil used during manufacturing process needs to burn off. This can take up to
60 minutes of continuous burning. Some odor and yellow ames may occur during this time but will diminish after the burn-in period.
• After a few hours of operation the upper burner plate will discolor due to the heat of normal operation. This is normal and does not affect
the safe operation of the unit.
• It is recommended not to use the heater in windy conditions. The heater may utter reducing the effectiveness of the appliance
and could have excessive pilot outages.
• When the unit is lit, there should be about a quarter inch border that will not turn bright orange. This is normal.
• When operating the heater at altitudes over 7,000 FT. above sea level, the unit may not burn as bright as in lower altitudes. This
is normal. At higher altitudes, the heater may shut-off. If this happens, provide fresh air, wait 5 minutes and re-light. Due to local
atmospheric conditions heater may not re-light.
• When moving heater when lit or bumping heater setting it down, tip over switch may shut off heater. If this happens, re-light.
• Operating time will vary depending on the heater setting and the supply cylinder size. See chart and "Cold Weather Operations"
section.
• NOTE: THIS HEATER MUST BE OPERATED WITH A DISPOSABLE 1 LB. PROPANE CYLINDERS. For use in Canada the
cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specications for Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for
the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA B339.
For use in the USA the Cylinders must be Dept. of Transportation (DOT) constructed and approved and have an outlet
connection compatible with a CSA 600 tting.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION:
• Cold weather is generally dened as ambient temperatures below 32 degrees F.
• 1 lb. propane cylinders have difculty producing sufcient gas at lower temperatures and can “freeze-up”, reducing the time of
operation by as much as 50-70%.
• If a 1 lb. tank is used in cold weather, the following are some operating suggestions;
1. Expect operating times to be signicantly reduced.
2. Never set the heater directly on the ice. Set the heater on a rigid piece of ame retardent insulation and make sure the
ventilation slots on the bottom of the heater are not obstructed.
3. Adequate ventilation and combustion air must be provided.
4. Maintain all clearances as specied on Page 4.
Carefully watch the Heater for signs of the 1 lb. cylinder "freezing-up". If the lower portion of the burner starts to turn from
orange to blue and begins sputtering immediately shut off the heater.
