Safety First
DANGERS and Cautions
1. This heater is for outdoor use only, and shall not be used in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
2. Always maintain at least 36” clearance (top), and 24” clearance (side) from combustible materials.
3. This heater is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to or attempted use of natural gas in this LP gas heater is dangerous and will void your warranty.
4. LP gas Characteristics:
a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become
aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.
b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles and
pools in low areas.
c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is
added that smells like rotten cabbage.
d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.
5. LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be used.
6. The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
7. LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
8. The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD).
9. Only use 20-pound cylinders equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
10. The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve.
11. Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar, or
footing.

checked by your LP gas supplier prior to use.
13. The LP gas tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.
14. Tanks must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must
not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Your tank must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
15. Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will
cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
16. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.
17. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full.
18. Never attempt to attach this heater to the self-contained LP gas
system of a camper trailer, motor home, or house.

impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the appliance.
20. Your heater has been checked at all factory connections for leaks.
Recheck all connections, as movement in shipping can loosen connections.
21. Check for leaks even if your unit was assembled for you by someone
else.
22. Do not operate if gas leak is present. Gas leaks may cause a fire or
explosion.
23. You must follow all leak-checking procedures before operating. To
prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
a. Always perform leak test before lighting the heater and each time
the tank is connected for use.

Operating Instructions
Inspect the visible portion of the hose before each use of the appliance. Inspect the entire hose assembly at least annually.
Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner pipe fits over the orifice.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause death, serious bodily injury, or damage to property.
If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
Make sure control knobs are off.
Turn LP gas tank ON at valve.
Spoon leak check solution at all indicated locations
If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank OFF, reconnect and re-test. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, disconnect LP gas source and contact
1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
If no bubbles appear after one minute turn tank OFF, wipe away solution and proceed.
Before Lighting
Heater should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified service person at least annually.
If relighting a hot heater, always wait at least 5 minutes.
Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Suspected areas should be leak tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use the replacement hose assembly specified by manufacturer.
Lighting
Note: this heater is equipped with a pilot light that allows for safer startups and shutdowns. Pilot must be lit before main burner can be started.
1. Turn tank valve OFF.
2. Push control knob in and turn to OFF.
3. Wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear.
4. Turn tank valve ON.
5. Open viewing hole by sliding cover to either side.
6. Push control knob in and rotate to pilot position.
Note: for initial start or after any tank change, hold control knob in for 2 minutes to purge air from gas lines before proceeding.
7. Push igniter button once. Pilot light flame will appear and be visible through viewing hole.
8. Release control knob after 30 seconds. Pilot light will remain lit. If not, return to step 1.
9. Turn control knob to HIGH. Main burner will light immediately. Flame is visible through viewing hole. If not, return to step 1.

Have a question or are having problems visit www.bluerhino.com or call 1.800.762.1142.
Note: the burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the control knob to the pilot position. Then, turn the knob to the level of heat desired.
When Heater is ON:
Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The color is more visible at night.
Burner will display tongues of blue and yellow flame. These flames should not be yellow or produce thick black smoke, indicating an obstruction of airflow through the burners. The flame should be blue with straight yellow tops.
