flu, with headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have
these signs, heater may not be working properly. Get
fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THIS HEATER INSIDE!
GENERAL INFORMATION:
• When the heater is cold or at room temperature, it will
take a few minutes for the burner(s) tile to turn bright
orange. This is normal and the heater is working prop-
erly. If burner(s) tile is visibly flaming, turn heater off
and call a qualified service technician.
• When the unit is lit, there should be about a quarter
inch border around the tile that will not turn bright
orange. This is normal.
• 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.
• Operating time will vary depending on the heater set-
ting and the supply cylinder size. (One 1 lb. cylinder: 1.5
to 6 hours. Two 1 lb. cylinders: 3 to 12 hours. Two 20
lb. cylinders: 50 to 220 hours.) Heater may be operated
from quick disconnect, one or both tank swivel inlets.
Due to the properties of LP gas, run times can be signifi-
cantly reduced when operating continuously at temper-
atures below 20º F. Use of a 20lb tank is recommended
in these conditions.
• When moving heater when lit or bumping heater set-
ting it down, tip over switch may shut off heater. If this
happens, re-light.
