OPERATION
• The protective grill on the front of this
heater is coated with a special high-
temperature resistant paint. When the
heater is used for the first time, the
grill may give off noticeable smoke
or fumes. This is normal and will not
occur during subsequent uses. The
fumes are not harmful.
• Operating time will vary depending
on the heater setting and the supply
cylinder size. Up to 1.5 to 3.5 hours
on a 1 lb. cylinder. Up to 36 to 72
hours on a 20 lb cylinder (based on
“HI”and“LO”settings). Due to the
properties of LP gas, runtimes can be
significantly reduced when operating
continuously at temperatures
below20ºF.Useofa20lb.tankis
recommended in these conditions.
NOTE: For burn time of an accessory,
refer to the accessory manual.
• When moving heater when lit or
bumping heater setting it down, the
tip over switch may shut off heater. If
this happens, re-light.
• Due to natural operation of small
tanks, condensation may build up on
tank and drip on surface under heater.
