Step 4 – Gas Hook-up
Note: For best results, use heater with a 20 lb. cylinder.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance
must be used and replacements must be those specified by the
manufacturer.
To connect 20 lb. Cylinder
• Slip end of flexible gas line with brass fitting through center hole of
Base and up to threaded portion of regulator.
• Line up threads on fitting with those on regulator and rotate clockwise
until snug. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. DO NOT USE ANY HAND
TOOLS TO MAKE THIS CONNECTION. BE CAREFUL NOT TO
CROSS THREADS WHEN SCREWING IN FITTING.
Note: if heater uses center clamp, hose can be routed through opening
in base and table.
• Set heater on base, making sure that flexible gas line is routed
through small slot in base.
• Attach gas line to cylinder by turning black plastic knob counter
clockwise into cylinder valve until tight.
Note: Be careful not to kink flexible gas line.
• When using the gas extension hose always locate the hose out of
pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose
may be subject to accidental damage.
To connect 14.1 oz or 16.4 oz cylinder
Note: Some 1-lb cylinders may form frost when near empty.
• Line up threads on canister with those on regulator, insert and rotate
canister clockwise until they fit snugly together. HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CROSS THREADS WHEN
SCREWING IN CANISTER.
Step 5 – Check for Leaks
To check for leaks:
• Make 1-2 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing
soap and 3 parts water.
• Spoon several drops (or use squirt bottle) of the solution onto the
regulator/canister connections.
• Inspect the connections and look for bubbles
• If NO bubbles appear, the connection is safe.
• If bubbles appear, there is a leak:
• Loosen and re-tighten this connection.
• Re-check for a leak.
• If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect
propane source and contact 1-800-762-1142.

leaks even if your unit was assembled
for you at the store.

cylinder, understand all cylinder and
propane related precautions in Section
