safety wire the handle of the manual bypass valve
in place and tag the valve to prevent change in the
water flow.

Operating Instructions
3A. General Information
With any new pool or spa installation, operate the
filter pump with the heater off long enough to com-
pletely clean the water. This will remove any installation
residue from the water. Clean the filter at the end of this
operation before starting the heater. When raising the
temperature of a cold pool, remove all time clock
settings. This lets the filter system and heater operate
continuously until the water reaches the temperature
setting on the temperature control. When that happens,
the heater will automatically shut off, but the filter pump
will keep running.
Caution
Do not use this heater if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the heater and
replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
Attention
N'utilisez pas cet appareil s'il a été plongé
dans l'eau, même partiellement. Faites
inspecter l'appareil par un technicien qualifié
et remplacez toute partie du système de
contrôle et toute commande qui ont été
plongés dans l'eau.
Caution
Should overheating occur or the gas supply
fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control
valve to the heater.
Attention
En cas de surchauffe ou si l'alimentation en
gaz ne s'arrête pas, fermez manuellement le
robinet d'arrêt de l'admission de gaz.
Caution
Keep all objects off the top of the heater.
Blocking air flow could damage the heater,
and may void the warranty.
WARNING
Vent pipes, drafthoods, and heater tops get
hot! These surfaces can cause serious burns.
Do not touch these surfaces while the heater
is in operation. Adding a vent cap reduces the
temperature on the top.
WARNING
For your safety, when starting the heater, keep
your head and face well away from the lower
firebox opening to prevent any risk of personal
injury.
3B. Lighting and Shutdown Procedures
NOTE: If your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off
gas at the heater. After the tank is refilled, the
heater must be relit following the instructions
found on the inside of the heater. DO NOT
attempt repairs on the gas control or heater.
Tampering is dangerous and voids all warranties.

3C. Setting the Temperature Control
The temperature control (see Figure 18) is
calibrated at the factory and covers a range from
approximately 70°F to 104°F (21°C to 40°C). Use an
accurate pool thermometer to determine the best water
temperature for your uses.
The Laars Lite 2 model LD has dual temperature
controls, which allows two different temperature
settings, selected by the rotary switch in the middle of
the panel. One control can be set for normal use and
the other for standby; or one can be set for pool and
the other for a spa. Placing the rotary switch in the
middle turns off the heater (see Figure 18). The model
LG has only a single control and is set similarly to the
LD above.
IMPORTANT: The temperature controls cannot
be calibrated in the field. If the control is faulty, shut
down the heater and have a qualified service technician
replace the control. DO NOT use the thermostat switch
to completely shut down the heater.
