THEORY OF OPERATION

The Fuel System: For propane units, the hose/ regulator assembly attaches to the propane gas supply. For natural gas units, the gas supply at- taches to the heater through user supplied hose or pipe. This provides fuel to the heater.

The Ignition System: The piezo ignitor lights the burner fuel supply.

The Automatic Control System: This system causes the heater to shut down if the flame goes out.
