Operation
1
Performing a leak test
WARNING: Before performing a leak test, be sure that no
sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area.
Connect the propane gas tank to the regulator and turn
the valve on the unit to the "OFF" position. Brush a soap
and water mixture on all connections. Turn the gas supply
on; if bubbles occur on any connection there may be a
leak. If you smell gas or a leak is discovered turn the gas
valve off, disconnect propane gas tank and do not use the
appliance until the leak is repaired.
Do not use the heating unit without inspecting the gas
hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must
replace the hose (if applicable).
Wait 50 minutes after extinguishing flame prior to place a
lid (if applicable) or protective cover on heating item.
Do not splash any liquid on the heater while it is in use.
Keep children away from the unit while in use; the glass
tube may be extremely hot while in use. Do not touch.
Ensure that the heater is on a strong and flat surface.
The heater may be damaged if the unit tips over.

Lighting the patio heater
WARNING: If the lighting instructions are not followed
directly a fire or explosion may occur resulting in
property damage, personal injury or death.
Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder.
Press and turn the variable control knob to the 'HIGH'
position and hold for 3-5 seconds.
While holding down the variable control knob, press the
igniter button several times until the burner head flame
ignites. Release the variable control knob 30 seconds after
the ignition.
If a new tank has just been connected, allow at least one
minute or more for the air in the gas pipeline to purge out.
The flame can be watched and checked from the viewing
hole located on the base of the burner.
Turn the variable control knob to the 'LOW' position for 5
minutes or more before turning the knob to desired
temperature setting. If a small flame is needed, turn the
variable control knob to the 'LOW' position.
If the burner flame goes out accidentally or it is blown out
by wind, turn off the heater and wait at least 5 minutes or
more to let the gas dissipate before lighting again to avoid
possible gas explosion. Repeat steps 2 through 3.
