OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting:
TO TURN ON THE HEATER
1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
2. Fully open the LP cylinder valve.
3. Press and turn the control knob to “HI” position (counterclockwise 90°).
Press down the control knob and hold for 3-5 seconds. While holding down
the control knob, press the igniter several times until the flame ignites.
Hold the control knob in for about 30 seconds and release.
4. To decrease the flame, turn the control knob counterclockwise to “LO”
position; to increase the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to “HI”
position.
Note: If the flame does not light or goes out, repeat Step 3.
WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY: If at any time you are unable to light the
burner and smell gas, wait 5 minutes to allow gas to dissipate before
attempting to light heater. If after 1 minute, you are unable to light
burner, wait 5 minutes and allow flammable vapors to dissipate before attempting to light heater again.
NOTE: If a new tank has just been connected, please allow at least one minute or more for the air in the gas line to
purge out through the hole, or simply complete Step 3. When lighting the heater make sure that the control knob is
continuously depressed while pressing the igniter button. Control knob can be released after the flame has been lit for
20~30 seconds. Flame can be watched and checked from the peephole located on the base of burner. If the flame does
not light or it goes out, repeat Step 3. If the burner flame goes out accidentally or it is blown out by wind, turn off the
heater and wait at least 5 minutes or more to let the gas dissipate before relighting to avoid possible gas explosion.
Repeat steps as listed above.
TO TURN OFF THE HEATER

2. Turn the gas cylinder valve to OFF or closed and disconnect the cylinder.
If you experience any ignition problems, please consult “Troubleshooting” on page 15.
Caution: Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use. Smoke and odor from the burning of oils used in the manufacturing will
appear. Both smoke and odor will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The heater should NOT produce thick black smoke.
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” on page 15.

rotating to OFF.
