2.They are needed to safely op- erate 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 surface. Make sure strong drafts do not blow into front or rear of heater.

3.Make sure the control knob is in the OFF position.

4.Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet (1.83 m) long, UL/CSA listed and of a proper size.

Extension Cord Size Requirement

Up to 100 feet (30.48 m) long, use 16 AWG rated cord.

101 to 200 feet (30.78 to 6.96 m) long, use 14 AWG rated cord.

5.Plug extension cord into a 120 volt/60 hertz, 3-hole, grounded outlet. Motor will start. Fan will turn, forcing air out front of heater.

6.Open propane supply valve on propane tank(s) slowly. Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on propane tank will stop gas flow. You may hear a click from the excess-flow check valve closing. If this happens, reset the excess-flow check valve by closing propane supply valve and open again slowly.

7.Press and hold in control knob. Turn counter- clockwise to the LOW position. Heater should ignite within a few seconds.

Note: If heater fails to ignite, hose may have air in it. If so, keep control knob pressed and wait 20 seconds. Release automatic control valve button and wait 20 seconds for unburned fuel to exit heater. Repeat step 7.

8.After heater ignites, wait 30 seconds. This ac- tivates the automatic control system. Release the control knob.

9.When burner remains lit, set heater at the desired heat level by turning the control 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.

TO STOP HEATER

1.Tightly close propane supply valve on propane tank(s).

2.Wait a few seconds. Heater will burn gas left in supply hoses.

3.Turn control knob to the OFF position.
