OPERATING HEATER
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ
BEFORE LIGHTING
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas
is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by
hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service techni-
cian or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result
in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under water.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life. 3. Check all joints from supply tank to equipment shutoff valve
(see Figure 15). Apply a noncorrosive leak detection fluid to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Heater Gas Connections
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 14, page 8).
2. Open propane/LP supply tank valve.
3. Make sure control knob of heater is in the OFF position.
4. Check all joints from equipment shutoff valve to thermostat
gas valve (see Figure 15). Apply a noncorrosive leak detection
fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5. Correct all leaks at once.
6. Light heater (see Lighting Instructions, pages 9 and 10). Check
all other internal joints for leaks.
7. Turn off heater (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 10).
8. Replace front panel.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. STOP! Read the safety information above.
2. Make sure equipment shutoff valve is fully open.
3. Turn control knob clockwise to the OFF position.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for
gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol-
low “B” in the safety information above. If you don’t smell
gas, go to the next step.
5. Turn control knob counterclockwise to the PILOT
position. Press in control knob for five (5) seconds (see Fig-
ure 16, page 10).
Note: You may be running this heater for the first time
after hooking up to gas supply. If so, the control knob may
need to be pressed in for 30 seconds or more. This will al-
low air to bleed from the gas system.
• If control knob does not pop up when released, contact a
qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.
