Leak Test
Gas hose connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A
complete gas leak check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling during the transit process.
Leak testing: Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition.
A full gas cylinder is required. This test must be done before initial use, annually and
whenever any gas Components are replaced or serviced.
1.
Mix a solution of water and washing up liquid, then pour onto the connection
between the joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves.
See Leak Testing Diagram below for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to
the off position. Turn the gas regulator ON.
If no bubbles are present
- This indicates the connection is leak safe.
If bubbles are present
– Tighten the hose clip further and retest for leaks
If bubbles continue to appear –
please contact your gas supplier or heater
distributor
2. If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply and
disconnect it.
3. Do not use the patio heater until the leak has been corrected.
OPERATION AND STORAGE
TO TURN THE HEATER ON
WARNING: Please ensure the glass tube has not been damaged before operation
1. Ensure the variable control knob is at the OFF position
2. Connect the gas regulator to a compatible gas cylinder
3. Push and turn the variable control knob to the "Pilot " position and hold for 60
seconds. Whilst still holding the control knob down, press the ignition button. A pilot
flame should appear.

Lo to Hi
IMPORTANT NOTE
• When lighting the heater for the first time or a new cylinder is connected, the air
inside the hose must be purged. This process will take a few minutes as liquefied
petroleum gas is heavier than air
• As a result the variable control knob should be pressed down at the Pilot
position for 3 Minutes instead of the normal 60 second period
• This ensures the gas purges the air in the hose and passes from the cylinder
through to the main burner
TO TURN THE HEATER OFF
1. Turn the variable control to the PILOT position
2. Push and turn the variable control knob to the OFF position
3. Turn the regulator connected to the gas cylinder to the OFF position
STORAGE
•
Always turn the regulator connected to gas cylinder OFF after use.
•
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder if the heater is not in use.
•
Never store the gas cylinder indoors or without adequate air ventilation.
Off: the heater stop work
Hi: maximum temperature position
Lo: minimum temperature position
