WARNING
!
!
Where do I use my heater for safer operation and
better performance?

label placed on the heater. Depending on the heater model
the silver CSA label will be located on the left or right door
panel or the left or right stud
.
Are the serial and model numbers of my heater listed

Question:
My heater will not light properly. Why?
Question:
Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this?
And -
My heater has a
low flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator.
A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere
with the operation of your heater. Loud or excessive
regulator humming and/or low flow and intermittent lighting
may be caused by the regulator's excess gas flow device.
Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what
triggers the regulator's safety device to restrict gas flow,
preventing excess gas flow to your heater. Note: This
procedure should be done every time a new LP Gas tank
is connected to your heater.
Air pockets may have formed in your manifold, and are
obstructing the flow of gas. Follow this procedure to
correct this problem:
Answer:
Try this procedure:
Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knob OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.
If your heater still fails to light, turn the Burner Control Knob
and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test of ALL gas
connections and gas sources as explained in the Use and
Care section of this manual.
If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear
and repeat the lighting procedure.
