  ● The LP tank should be turned off when the heater is not in use.
• Check the heater immediately if any of the following occurs:

- The heater does not reach temperature.

• The burner makes popping noise during use (a slight noise is normal when the burner is extinguished).

• Smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flames.

• The LP regulator/hose assembly must be located out of pathways where people may trip over it or in area where the hose will not be subject to accidental damage.
  ● Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the heater must be replaced before operating the heater.
  ● Adults and children should stay away from high temperature surface to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
  ● Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the heater.
  ● Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung on the heater or placed on or near the heater.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

• Use propane, butane or their mixtures gas only.
  ● The pressure regulator and hose assembly to be used must conform to local standard codes.
• The installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the standard for the storage and handling of liquid petroleum gases.
• A dented, rusted or damaged tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your tank supplier. Never use a tank with a damaged valve connection.
  ● The tank must be arranged to provide for vapor withdrawal from the operating cylinder.
  ● Never connect an unregulated tank to the heater.

LEAKAGE TEST

Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in case of a leak.
  ● The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
  ● Make sure the safety control valve is in the OFF position.
• Turn the gas supply ON.
• In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and re-check.
  ● Never leak test while smoking.

1. Depress and turn control knob clockwise to OFF position.
2. Fully open gas valve.
3. Depress control knob and turn knob counter-clockwise to IGNITE position, then to PILOT position (you will hear 2 clicks).
4. With the pilot light lit, keep control knob depressed for 30 seconds.

NOTE: If the pilot light has not ignited, turn heater control knob to OFF position, fully close gas valve, wait 5 minutes, then repeat steps 2–4 of the Lighting Instructions.

NOTE: If the pilot light ignites but does not stay lit, turn heater control knob to OFF position, fully close propane gas valve, wait 5 minutes, then repeat steps 2–3. Now, using a lighter, ignite the pilot light through the ignition hole on the emitter screen. Once the pilot light is lit, depress control knob for 30 seconds.

1. After depressing the control knob for 30 seconds, turn control knob to LOW. To increase the temperature, turn towards HIGH.

Warning: check that no broken on the glass is found before operation.

TO TURN OFF THE HEATER

1. Fully close gas valve.
2. Turn control knob clockwise to OFF position.

1. Propane Only-Proper Hose Connection.

WARNING! Ensure the hose does not contact any high temperature surfaces, or it may melt and leak causing a fire.

After the cylinder is placed inside the heater, secure the cylinder with block belt tightly.

The heater must be fixed on a stable and strong table with a minimum height of 40cm from the floor level.

6. Leak Check.

! ! STOP

WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the gas system is replaced.

WARNING! Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.

Leak testing: This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas Components are replaced or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak Testing Diagram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on.

Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves.

Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one recommended by the Customer Care department and have the patio heater inspected by a certified gas installer.

If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the patio heater inspected by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the patio heater until the leak has been corrected.
