HEATER STAND AND LOCATION
• The heater is primarily for outdoor use only. Always ensure that
adequate fresh air ventilation is provided.
• Always maintain proper clearance to combustible materials,
i.e. top 100 cm and sides 100 cm minimum.
• Heater must be placed on level firm ground.
• Never operate heater in an explosive atmosphere like in areas
where gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors are stored.
• To protect heater from strong wind, anchor the base securely
to the ground with screws.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
• Use propane or butane gas only.
• The pressure regulator and hose assembly to be used must conform to local standard codes.
• The installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the standard
for the storage and handling of liquid petroleum gases.
• A dented, rusted or damaged propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by
your tank supplier. Never use a propane tank with a damaged valve connection.
• The propane tank must be arranged to provide for vapor withdrawal from the operating
cylinder.
• Never connect an unregulated propane tank to the heater.
LEAKAGE TEST
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment
or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be
applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in case of a leak.
• The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
• Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.
• Turn the gas supply ON.
• In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on
and re-check.
• Never leak test while smoking.
OPERATION AND STORAGE
TO TURN ON THE HEATER
1. Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder completely.
2. Press and turn the variable control knob to PILOT position (counter-clockwise 90º).
3. Press down the variable control knob and hold for 30 seconds. While holding down the variable
control knob, press the igniter button several times until the pilot flame lights. Release the
variable control knob after the pilot flame lights.
Note:
• If a new tank has just been connected, please allow at least one minute for the air in the gas
pipeline to purge out through the pilot hole.
• When lighting the pilot flame make sure that the variable control knob is continuously pressed
down while pressing the igniter button. Variable control knob can be released after the pilot
flame lights.
• Pilot flame can be watched and checked from the small round window with sliding lid located
at the bottom of the flame screen (to the left or right side of the controller).
• If the pilot flame does not light or it goes out, repeat step 3.
4. After the pilot flame lights, turn the variable control knob to maximum position and leave it there
for 5 minutes or more before turning the knob to desired temperature position.
