WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Be careful when attempting 
to manually ignite this heater. 
Holding in the control know for 
more than 10 seconds before 
igniting the gas will cause a 
ball of flame upon ignition.

•  If for some reason your ignitor fails to deliver a spark, your heater can 

be started by inserting a lit match through the pilot view hole while 
pushing the control knob in while in the PILOT position.

If you experience any ignition problem consult “Troubleshooting” on 
page 17.

Caution:  Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use.  
Smoke and odor from the burning of oils used in manufacturing will 
appear.  Both smoke and odor will dissipate after approximately 30 
minutes.  The heater should NOT produce thick black smoke.

Note:

 The burner may be noisy when initially turned on.  To eliminate 

excessive noise from the burner, turn the Control Knob to the Pilot 
position.  Then, turn the knob to the level of heat desired.

When heater is ON:

Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The color is 
more visible at night. 

Burner will display tongues of blue and yellow flame.  These flames 
should not be yellow or produce thick black smoke, indicating an 
obstruction of airflow through the burners. The flame should be blue 
with straight yellow tops. 

If excessive yellow flame is detected, turn off heater and consult 
“Troubleshooting” on page 17.

Re-lighting

Note:

  For your safety, Control Knob cannot be turned OFF without first 

depressing Control Knob in PILOT position and then rotating it to OFF.

Turn Control Knob to OFF.

Wait at least 5 minutes, to let gas dissipate, before attempting to relight 
Pilot.

Repeat the “Lighting” steps on prior page.

Shut Down

Turn Control Knob clockwise to Pilot. (Normally, burner will make a slight 
popping sound when extinguished.) Burner will extinguish but Pilot will 
remain ON.

To extinguish Pilot, depress Control Knob and continue to turn it 
clockwise to OFF.

Turn Tank Valve clockwise to OFF and disconnect Regulator when 
heater is not in use.

Note:

  After use, some discoloration of the emitter screen is normal.

WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Heater will be hot after use. 
Handle with extreme care.
