Use and Care Manual

x Make 2-3 oz. of leak check solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts water. Apply

several drops of solution where hose attaches to regulator. Apply several drops of solution where regulator

connects to LP cylinder. Make sure all patio heater valves are OFF. Turn LP cylinder valve ON.

x If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak. Turn LP cylinder valve OFF. If leak is at hose/regulator

connection: tighten connection and perform another leak test. If leak is at regulator/LP cylinder valve connection:

disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts,

cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to cylinder’s place of purchase.

x If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure. Turn LP cylinder valve OFF.

x NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.

SURFACE CARE

1. Powder coated surfaces

x Clean using a soft damp cloth and mild cleanser.

x To prevent oxidation, apply a coat of automotive paste wax to the surface. Allow the wax to dry for a few

minutes. Remove residue and polish surface with a clean cloth.

x To remove oxidation, rub the surface with an automotive rubbing or polishing compound.

2. Stainless steel surfaces

x Clean using a soft cloth and stainless steel cleaner/polisher.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Initial startup

x Turn the valve on the LP cylinder all the way on.

x Depress the patio heater control knob and turn it counterclockwise until it stops.

x Continue holding the control knob depressed for 1-2 minutes. This will bleed out any air bubbles in the gas line.

x While continuing to hold the control knob depressed, push the red igniter switch repeatedly until the pilot lights.

x Once the pilot is lit, release the control knob and turn it to low. This will light the burner.

x The knob can be turned from low to high to adjust the flame.

2. Why won't my pilot light?

x Blockage in the venturi tube that houses the pilot feed tube. It is very common for spiders to build webs which will

block the venturi feed tube. Burnt sentiment from the pilot light can also block the venturi tube. Remove the pilot

feed tube from the venturi tube and use a pipe cleaner to remove debris. Compressed air may be used to

thoroughly clean the tube.

x Pilot feed tube may be clogged. Clean or replace pilot feed tube.

x Propane tank empty or not turned on.

x Striker switch not working. Replace striker switch.
