Operation
If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
2. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected areas should
be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose
assembly specified by manufacturer.
LIGHTING

NOTE:
For initial start or after any cylinder change, hold control knob in for 2 minutes to purge air from gas
lines before proceeding.
5. Push and release the igniter button until pilot flame is visible through viewing hole.
6. Once the pilot is lit, continue to depress the control knob for 30 seconds.

If pilot fails to remain lit, all valves should be closed and a waiting period of at least 5 minutes should
pass before attempting to light.
WHEN HEATER IS ON

yellow flame is detected, turn off heater and consult “Troubleshooting”.
