LIGHTING AND SHUT‑DOWN
Lighting the Heater:
WARNING
1.
Before attempting to light the heater, smell all around the heater area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because LP-Gas is heavier than air and
will settle on the floor. Turn on the gas supply to the appliance and check all
fittings and connections for gas leaks using a mild soap and water solution.
NEVER use a match to check for gas leaks. Should a gas leak occur, shut off
the gas supply to the appliance immediately. Wait a minimum of five minutes
before repairing the leak.
2.
Use only the fuel intended for this appliance. Check the appliance rating plate
for the correct fuel information.
3.
Turn off the main gas supply to the appliance. Wait five minutes.
4.
Turn on the main gas supply.
5.
Depress red spark ignition button repeatedly or with a lighted match held
to the burner face, depress and hold the reset button on the safety valve.
After the burner ignites, hold the reset button depressed for about one
minute or until the burner stays lit when the reset button is released.
DO NOT light the gas at the burner orifice. DO NOT face heater
when attempting to light. Always stand to the side of the unit when
lighting.
NOTE: In cases where long runs of gas supply lines have been installed
ahead of the appliance, it may be necessary to bleed trapped air out of
the supply lines before lighting the burner. New installations generally
require bleeding of supply lines. Wait a minimum of five minutes after
bleeding the supply lines before attempting to light the heater.
6.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to adjust the main burner input using
the main gas supply valve, for this may cause the thermocouple to shut
down the burner.
Shut‑Down Instructions:
To turn the heater OFF:
1.
Close the LP-Gas supply cylinder valve.
2.
Observe the burner until flame is extinguished.
3.
Listen for closure of the safety valve.
