LIGHTING HEATER
Read and understand all safety information before operating heater.
1.Adjust burners to desired position by loos- ening wing nuts on back of burner head bracket.
WARNING: Wing nuts and burner heads become very hot during operation. Do not attempt to adjust burner position while heater is operating. Allow 15 minutes to cool.
WARNING: Do not raise burner heads and cover air inlet holes in mixing tube with burner bracket. Firmly tighten wing nuts to secure burners. Do not overlap or direct burners at each other.
WARNING: Make sure there is no open flame in the area. Make sure there are no flam- mable vapors or liquids in the area during lighting.
2.Fully open the propane tank valve.
3.Turn the heater regulator knob counterclock- wise to the “HI” position (see Figure 4).
WARNING: Stand to the side of the heater while lighting. Do not stand or have any part of your body in front of heater while lighting. Do not attempt to light one burner off of the other. Use one match per burner.
CAUTION: Do not insert match into air inlet holes in mix- ing tube.
WARNING: Do not push in safety shutoff valve plunger before introducing lit match.
4.Locate ignition hole in underside of burner (see Figure 5). Hold a lit match under ignition hole. Push in the safety shutoff valve plunger (see Figures 4 and 5). Burner should light. Mesh screen on burner glows red when lit. After burner is lit, continue holding in safety shutoff valve plunger for 10 to 30 seconds until heater stays lit.
