cylinder. Use only an approved propane
cylinders.
LP Characteristics
– Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier
than air and pools in low areas.
– In its natural state, propane has no odor, but
for your safety an odor that smells like rotten
cabbage has been added.
– Contact of propane (LP) gas with the skin can
cause freeze burns.
– Heater is manufactured for use with propane
gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any
other gas. Such modifications are dangerous
and will void the warranty.
– When heater is not in use, LP Cylinder must be
removed.
– Be sure that the LP Cylinder is located on a
level and stable surface.
– DO NOT use this heater in a basement or
below ground level. Propane is heavier than

you suspect a leak, shut off the valve at the LP
Cylinder immediately.
Basic Information
NOTE: The Heat Hog Portable Propane
Heater can be used outdoors, but users may
experience nuisance shutoffs due to certain
wind conditions.
– In cold temperatures, the heat plaques may
take a few minutes to get visibly hot. This is
normal operation.
– It is normal for a small border around the
edge of the heat plaques to not glow while
operating.
– The guard that protects the user from the heat
plaques gets very hot during operation. It has a
special temperature resistant coating. The first
time the heater is turned on, you may notice
smoke or fumes emanating from the protective
guard or the heater. This is normal and should
stop after a few minutes.
– If you notice actual flames or any operation
that does not meet the description in this
manual, turn the heater off and call a qualified
service technician.
– Miniumum operating and storage temperature
is -20°F (-28.8°C)
Checking for Leaks
– To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution
of dish soap and water. Apply this solution to
all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there
is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas
supply, and re-connect the leaking connection.
If the leak persists after several tries, contact
Heat Hog Service at 800.641.6996.
– The minimum clearances to any combustible
construction materials must be maintained at
all times (See Page 3).
– Inspect the heater before each use, and at
least annually by a qualified service person.
WARNING: EXTREMELY HOT during
!
operation. Do Not touch any metal
components while in operation. Keep
gasoline and any other flammable liquids
away from the heater.
The Heat Hog Portable Propane Heater may
not burn as bright when operating at altitudes
over 2,000 FT. above sea level. This is normal.
At these high altitudes, the unit may shut off
sporadically due to lower levels of oxygen. If this
happens, provide fresh air and wait 5 minutes
and re-light. Localized atmospheric conditions
may cause heater to not re-light.
– In general, operating time will vary depending
on the heater setting and the supply cylinder
size. Up to 3 to 6 hours on a 1 lb. cylinder. Up
to 48 to 110 hours on a 20 lb. cylinder (based
on "HI" and "LO" settings). Run times of LP gas
can be significantly reduced when operating
continuously at temperatures below 20ºF. The
Heat Hog is designed to keep your 1lb cylinder
warm.
– Your Heat Hog Portable Propane Heater is
equipped with a tip-over safety switch. When
moving the heater when lit, bumping heater,
setting it down or adjusting the heating angle,
the tip over switch may shut off heater. If this
happens, be sure the base is level and re-light.
– Condensation may build up on 1lb LP cylinder
and drip under heater. This may cause frost
on the bottom of the cylinder or may refreeze
under or around the heater. This is due to the
natural operation of small LP cylinders and is
normal.
