position. To do this, push the knob IN and turn fully
CLOCKWISE.

the regulator and hose.

and tighten securely ensuring the flexible hose is not
stretched or kinked. .
5.
Check that the tap turns easily and that there are no
gas leaks, using foam or soapy water...NEVER use an
open flame.
B. Lighting The Pilot Light
We recommend that first time starting be carried out in
the open air, as fumes are given off due to the elimination
of the protective lubricants.

Turn ON the gas by turning the tap anticlockwise then
fully secure the access panel
2.
Push the Burner Control Knob IN and turn ANTI-CLOCKWISE to the PILOT position.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT force the Knob.
NOTE:
For the initial start or whenever the gas bottle has been changed, push the Control Knob IN and hold
in this position for two minutes to ensure all air has been purged from the system before proceeding.
3.
Holding the knob in the ‘pushed IN’ position, press the piezo ignition button (B, Fig.1) repeatedly
until the pilot light ignites.
4.
Continue to hold the Control Knob ‘IN’ for a further 1 minute after the pilot light is lit. When it is
released, it will pop back outwards and the pilot light should remain ‘ON’.
C. Low Burner Setting
With the pilot light lit, turn the Burner Control Knob anti-clockwise until it reaches the first indent.
D. HIGH Burner Setting
Turn the Burner Control Knob anticlockwise until it stops.
NOTE: Always allow the burner to operate in the LOW position for 5 minutes or so, before turning to the
High position.
To turn the patio heater OFF...first push the Burner control Knob ‘IN’ and turn it fully CLOCKWISE, then,
when the flame has extinguished, turn the supply OFF at the gas bottle.
IMPORTANT! If the Burner fails to operate, turn the Burner Control Knob to the OFF position and wait 5
minutes before trying again.
