If you turn the heater off and then have to re-light:
1) Turn control knob to the “OFF” position.
2) Wait at least
FIVE minutes
before attempting to relight heater. The safety system built into the heater will
not allow you to immediately re-light the heater directly from the “OFF” position. Please do not try to defeat
this safety system.
3) Repeat starting with STEP #6. You should not have to wait more than few seconds to re-
light the “PILOT” light and then ignite the main burner.
To Turn Off or Shut Down Heater
1) Turn the control knob in a clock-wise direction to the “OFF” position. You may hear a slight popping sound
when the main burner shuts down. This is normal.
2)
Turn the black shut off knob at the valve at the house supply in a clock-wise direction to turn it off. You can
now disconnect the hose at the house gas or heater post if desired.
When your heater is not in use, you can safety disconnect your hose set.
Storing your Heater
When storing your heater you can either leave your hose set connected and wrapped around the
heater post or you can remove it completely.
If you disconnect the hose at the heater,
please always use the blue protective rubber caps to keep insects and other
debris out of the feed line and internals of your heater. Dirt, debris, or insects
can impede or completely obstruct the flow of gas to your heater and negatively
affect the operation of the heater.
Store your heater in an upright position in an area sheltered from inclement weather such as rain, snow, sleet,
hail, dust storms, and other blowing debris.

Spider and Insect Warning
Spiders and other insects are attracted to the smell of unburned natural gas and propane. This is the case for
outdoor heaters, gas grills, gaslights and torches, pool heaters, and other outdoor gas burning products. The
webs and obstructions created by these insects can cause conditions that may damage the appliance or
render it unsafe for proper use. You should inspect the burner at least once a year or immediately if any of the
following conditions are present when operating the heater: Do not try to use heater if venturi or orifice is
blocked.
1.
The odor of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flame.
2.
The emitter grid does not glow evenly or reach proper operating temperatures.
3.
The burner makes a popping or roaring noise.
4.
If a blockage is present, clean the orifice or burner immediately before trying to light heater.
