A. 

Turn the Control Knob to switch to desired temperature position.

Note: If a new tank has just been connected, please allow at least one minute for the air in the gas pipeline to 

purge out at the pilot position. A 5-minute complete shutoff period is necessary before relighting.

If you experience any ignition problem please consult “Troubleshooting”.

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 Lo 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”.

Control Knob in Hi position and then rotating it to OFF.
