Secure all joints tightly using appropriate tools
and sealing compounds (ensure propane resis-
tant compounds are used in propane applica-
tions). Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks
using a soapy water solution. Never use an
open flame to check for leaks.
A. Mix a 50% dish soap, 50% water solution.
B. Light the appliance (refer to safety and
lighting instructions on page 17).
C. Brush all joints and connections with the
soapy water solution to check for leaks. If

ducing flame evenly across the burner. If any
ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean
out the ports.
An external regulator must be used on all pro-
pane (L.P.G.) heaters, in addition to the regula-
tor within the gas valve, to reduce the supply
tank pressure to 13" w.c. (maximum).
WARNING: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO
AN UNREGULATED PROPANE TANK CAN
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.

optional wall switch. All electrical wiring must
be in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The
heater must be electrically grounded.
Step 7. Installing the Optional Remote Wall
Switch – The standard millivolt system comes
from the factory wired as shown in Figure 14 .
Select a convenient location for the remote wall
switch and connect the wiring to the appliance
( Figure 15 ).

Step 8. Installing the Optional Forced Air Blower
Kit Wiring – An electrical outlet box is provided
for the installation of the FAB-1100 forced air
blower kit (optional). Electrical power must be
provided to this box to operate the blower.
Route a 3-wire, 120Vac power line with control
switch to the lower right rear corner of the
appliance. Make connections to the receptacle as
shown in Figure 16 .
IMPORTANT: Ground lead must be connected
to the green screw located on the junction box
cover plate. Failure to do so will prevent the
appliance from operating. The appliance must
be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70- latest
edition. (In Canada, the current CSA C22-1 Cana-
dian Electrical Code.)
