Flame Characteristic
The flame pattern at the emitter screen should be visually
checked whenever heater is operated. Normally the burner
flame is blue, but little yellow flame is acceptable.
If the flames extend beyond the surface of the emitter grid, or
the flame is lifting off the burner or flashing back, or there is
black carbon deposits accumulating on the emitter grid or
reflector, the heater should be turned off immediately. The
heater should not be operated again until the unit is serviced
and or repaired.
3) Push and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to
the "PILOT" position. Depress the control knob. Push and
hold the igniter button until the pilot lights.
4) Once the pilot is lit, release the igniter button and
continue to depress the control knob for 30 seconds.
5) After depressing the control knob for 30 seconds, release
the control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the “LOW”
or “HIGH” position.
Note:
If the pilot light will not ignite, turn the control knob to
the off position, and fully close the propane tank valve.
Wait 5 minutes and then repeat steps 2-4.
Alternately, the pilot can be lit using a wand lighter.
Push and turn the control knob to the pilot position.
Depress the control knob. Insert the lit lighter through
the ignition hole on the emitter screen. Once the pilot
lights, remove the lighter and continue to depress the
control knob for 30 seconds.
Whenever the unit is disconnected from the gas supply,
the supply lines fill with air. Expect a delay in lighting
the pilot, if the unit is lit for the first time after
reconnecting.
