WARNING: Review and un- derstand the warnings in the Safety Information section. They are needed to safely operate this heater. Follow all local codes when using this heater.

TO START HEATER

1.Follow all installation, ventilation, and safety information.

2.Locate heater on stable and level sur- face. Make sure strong drafts do not blow on heater.

3.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on pro- pane tank may stop gas flow. If this hap- pens, you may hear a click inside the regulator assembly. This is the check valve closing. To reset the excess-flow check valve, close propane supply valve and open it again slowly.

4.Turn control knob counterclockwise to the lowest position and push in (see Fig- ure 4).

5.With the control knob pushed all the way in, press and release the piezo ig- nitor button (see Figure 4). Keep press- ing piezo ignitor button until the burner lights. Hold control knob down for a maximum of 10 seconds while attempt- ing ignition. If heater does not ignite, release control knob and wait 3 min- utes before attempting reignition. Note: Keep hands and face away from outlet (around top of shell) of heater while attempting to start heater.

6.After ignition, hold control knob down for approximately 30 seconds. This activates the automatic control system.

7.When main burner remains lit, set heater at the desired heat level by turning the con- trol valve counterclockwise. If burner goes out, turn off gas. Turn control knob fully clockwise to the lowest position. Check fuel supply. If adequate fuel is available, restart heater beginning at step #1.

CAUTION: Do not operate heater at extremely low input pres- sures (100% yellow flame). This may cause sooting inside heater.
