WARNING:
Improper Lighting, Shutting Down can cause injury, death or property damage. Read the Lighting and
Shutting Down instructions thoroughly before operating or servicing this equipment.
Operating Instructions
Follow all Caution and General Safety rules at all times before / during use.
Lighting
1. Open the LP cylinder valve.
2. Push and turn the ignition knob counter-clockwise from the OFF position to the PILOT position
lightning symbol. To start the gas flow and sparking, push the knob inwards. Keep pressing until
the pilot is lit and stays lit (for approximately 30 seconds to heat up the thermocouple) and
then release the pressure from the knob. If you have warmed up the thermocouple enough, when
you release the pressure from the ignition knob the main burner will automatically light. If it does
not, try igniting the pilot again but waiting a longer interval before releasing knob.
3. Note: When using the heater with a fresh fuel supply, pilot may take some time to light the
pilot because the line needs to purge all of the air out in the line first.
4. Adjust the heat output by rotating the Temperature Control Knob counterclockwise to increase
output, clockwise to lower the output.
Caution:
Heater will produce smoke the first time it is lit. This is normal. Make sure NOT to light the
heater in an enclosed area.
Shut Down
1. Turn the ignition knob clockwise into the OFF position to turn off the gas flow and extinguish the
burner flame.
2. Turn propane tank gas valve clockwise to ’OFF' position when heater is not in use.
