Lighting Instructions when Using Piezo

Propane is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a connection or fitting, it sinks to the floor, collecting there with the surrounding air, forming a potentially explosive mixture. Obviously, propane leaks should be avoided, so set up the propane supply with utmost care. Leak check new connections or reconnections with a soap and water solution and follow all connection instructions herein. Also ask your propane dealer for advice on the propane supply installation and ask him to check it if there are any questions.

Direct-firedmeans that all of the combustion products from burning propane enter the heated space. Even though this heater operates very close to 100 percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is toxic.

CO can build up in a heated space and failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in death. The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:

headache dizziness

burning eyes and nose nausea

dry mouth or sore throat

So, be sure to follow advice about VENTILATION in these operating instructions.

WARNING: Do not look over top of heater (reflector) during ignition.

This heater may produce a small puff of flame during ignition, which could result in serious bodily injury.

WARNING: Review and understand the Safety Information on page 3 before lighting the Tank Top Heater.

CAUTION: Due to high surface tempera- ture, keep children, clothing and furni- ture away.

Keep burner and control compartment clean.

This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or a bathroom.

WARNING: Hot while in operation: Do not touch. Keep children, clothing, furniture, gasoline and other liquids having flammable vapors away.

1.Stop! Read all safety information.

2.Check that gas supply to the heater is on.

3.Turn heater regulator knob clockwise to “OFF” position.

4.Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any air. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information on the side of heater. If you do not smell gas, go to the next step.

5.Turn heater regulator knob counterclockwise

to “Hi” position. Press in safety shut-off valve plunger for five (5) seconds. (Fig. 3)

NOTE: The first time the heater is operated after connecting the gas supply, the safety shut-off valve plunger should be depressed for about thirty (30) seconds. This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.

6.With safety shut-off valve plunger pressed in, push down and release piezo ignitor button. This will light pilot. If needed, keep pressing piezo ignitor button until pilot lights.

7.Keep safety shut-off valve plunger pressed in for thirty (30) seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release safety shut-off valve plunger.

8.If burner goes out, repeat steps 5 through 7 or use a match. If heater will not light after repeated attempts, do not attempt to repair heater. Return heater to nearest authorized service center or to the address on back of this manual, freight prepaid.

9.When burner is lit, turn heater regulator knob to desired heat setting (LO, MED, HI).

10.Light both burners when maximum heat is needed. Use one burner to conserve fuel.

To Turn Off Heater
