TO START HEATER

1.Follow all installation, ventilation and safety information.

2.Locate heater on stable and level surface. Make sure strong drafts do not blow into front or rear of heater.

3.Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded exten- sion cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long. Exten- sion cord must be UL listed.

Extension Cord Size Requirement

Up to 50 feet long, use 18 AWG rated cord.

51 to 100 feet long, use 16 AWG rated cord.

4.Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, three-hole, grounded outlet.

5.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank may stop gas flow. If this happens, close propane supply valve and open again slowly.

6.Turn on/off switch to the ON position. Adjust thermostat to de- sired setting. If heater does not start, thermostat setting may be too low. Turn thermostat knob to higher position to start heater. Note: If heater does not start, turn on/off switch to the OFF po- sition. Wait ten seconds for safety control to reset, then try again.

Note: If heater still does not start after turning thermostat knob to a higher position, the high temperature switch may have opened during thermostat shut down. Allow high temperature switch to reset. This usually takes 10-15 minutes. Try starting heater again after switch resets.
