Note:Theheatercanbeusedoutdoors,butmay

experiencenuisanceshutoffsduetocertainwind

conditions.

• Whentheheateriscoldoratroomtemperature,itwill

takeafewminutesfortheburnertiletoturnbrightor-

ange.Thisisnormalandtheheaterisworkingproperly.

Ifburnertileisvisiblyflaming,turnheateroffandcalla

qualifiedservicetechnician.

inchborderaroundthetilethatwillnotturnbright

orange.Thisisnormal.

• Whenoperatingtheheaterforthefirsttime,thetop

areaofthereflectormaydiscolor.Thisisalsonormal

andisnoreasonforconcern.

• Theprotectivegrillonthefrontofthisheateriscoatedwith

aspecialhigh-temperatureresistantpaint.Whentheheater

isusedforthefirsttime,thegrillmaygiveoffnoticeable

• When operating the heater at altitudes over 7,000

FT. above sea level, the unit may not burn as bright

as in lower altitudes. This is normal. At higher

altitudes, the heater may shut off. If this happens,

provide fresh air, wait 5 minutes and re‑light. Due to

local atmospheric conditions heater may not re‑light.
