GENERAL INFORMATION:

•­
This­heater­is­safe­for­indoor­use­in­small­recreational­
enclosures,­having­means­for­providing­combustion­air­
and­ventilation,­such­as­enclosed­porches,­cabins,­fishing­
huts,­trailers,­tent­trailers,­tents,­truck­caps­and­vans.­
It­may­be­used­for­emergency­indoor­heating­when­
connected­to­a­disposable­1­lb.­propane­cylinder­and­
for­indoor­use­in­commercial­enclosures,­having­means­
for­providing­combustion­air­and­ventilation,­such­as­
construction­trailers­or­temporary­work­enclosures.
Note:­The­heater­can­be­used­outdoors,­but­may­
experience­nuisance­shutoffs­due­to­certain­wind­
conditions.
•­
When­the­heater­is­cold­or­at­room­temperature,­it­
will­take­a­few­minutes­for­the­burner­tile­to­turn­
bright­orange.­This­is­normal­and­the­heater­is­working­
properly.­If­burner­tile­is­visibly­flaming,­turn­heater­off­
and­call­a­qualified­service­technician.
•­
When­the­unit­is­lit,­there­should­be­about­a­quarter­
inch­(1/4")­border­around­the­tile­that­will­not­turn­
bright­orange.­This­is­normal.
•­
When­operating­the­heater­for­the­first­time,­the­top­
area­of­the­reflector­may­discolor.­This­is­also­normal­
and­is­no­reason­for­concern.
•­ When operating the heater at altitudes over 7,000
FT. above sea level, the unit may not burn as bright
as in lower altitudes. This is normal. At higher
altitudes, the heater may shut-off. If this happens,
provide fresh air, wait 5 minutes and re-light. Due to
local atmospheric conditions heater may not re-light.
•­
Operating­time­will­be­approximately­5­hours­on­a­
one­1lb.­cylinder.­Due­to­the­properties­of­LP­gas,­
runtimes­can­be­significantly­reduced­when­operating­
continuously­at­temperatures­below­20ºF.­
•­
This­heater­is­equipped­with­a­tip-over­safety­switch.­
Nuisance­shut-downs­may­be­experienced­if­the­unit­
is­bumped­or­moved.­if­this­occurs­simply­relight­the­
heater.
•
Due­to­natural­operation­of­small­tanks,­condensation­
may­build­up­on­tank­and­drip­on­surface­under­heater.­
Sometimes­this­condensation­may­freeze­due­to­the­
extreme­cold­caused­when­propane­vaporizes.­This­is­
normal­and­no­reason­for­alarm.­
