GENERAL INFORMATION:

•
When the heater is cold, it will take a few minutes for the
burner tile to turn bright orange. This is normal and the
heater is working properly. If burner tile is visibly flaming,
turn heater off and call a qualified service technician.
Note: The heater is to be used outdoors, but may experience
nuisance shutoffs due to certain wind conditions.
•
When the unit is lit, there should be about a quarter inch
border around the tile that will not turn bright orange.
This is normal.
•
When operating the heater for the first time, the top area
of the reflector may discolor. This is also normal and is no
reason for concern.
• The protective grill on the front of this heater is coated
with a special high-temperature resistant paint. When
the heater is used for the first time, the grill may give off
noticeable smoke or fumes. This is normal and will not
occur during subsequent uses. The fumes are not harm-
ful.
•
Designed to operate at altitudes up to 7,000 feet. When
operating the heater at altitudes over 7,000 FT. above sea
level, the unit may not burn as bright as in lower alti-
tudes. This is normal. At higher altitudes, the heater may
shut-off. If this happens, provide fresh air, wait 5 minutes
and re-light. If the heater continues to shut off, there may
not be enough oxygen available to feed proper combus-
tion.
•
Operating time will be approximately 3 to 6 hours on a
one 1lb cyclinder and 48 to 110 hours on a 20 lb cylinder
(based on "HI" and "LO" settings). Due to the properties
of LP gas, runtimes can be significantly reduced when
operating continuously at temperatures below 20ºF.
•
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety switch.
Nuisance shut-downs may be experienced if the unit is
bumped or moved. if this occurs simply relight the heater.
•
Do not leave this appliance unattended while it is
in operation. Keep children and pets away from the
appliance at all times.

LP cylinders must be marked in accordance with
"Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transporation of
