knob, press the igniter button several times until the
pilot flame comes on. After lighting the pilot, wait 15

4. If the pilot does not light, repeat steps 2 to 3.
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.
WARNING! FOR YOUR SAFETY:
• Do NOT touch or move heater for at least 45
minutes after use.
• Reflector is hot to the touch.
• Allow reflector to cool before touching.
• Keep exterior surfaces clean.
• Use warm, soapy water for cleaning. Never use
flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
• While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area
around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all
times. Do not submerge the control valve assembly.
If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use
it. It must be replaced.
• Keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder
enclosure free and clear from debris.
• Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner
and circulating air passageways clean.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices.
This dangerous condition can damage heater and
render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using
a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may
help clear away smaller particles.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean
dome and burner screen with warm, soapy water if
any carbon deposits develop.
NOTE: In a salt-air environment (such as near
an ocean), corrosion occurs more quickly than
normal. Frequently check for corroded areas
and repair them promptly.
