Things to know about your 38,000 BTU

Commerical Outdoor Heater

Radiant Heat at 38,000 BTU’s:

The Commerical Outdoor Heater generates “Radiant Heat.” Unlike forced-

air heat which goes up, radiant heat, like light waves reflects off of objects,

warming the surface of the objects. This kind of heat is undisturbed by wind

and ambient air temperatures.. Like light, radiant heat moves in waves.

People absorb these waves creating a warming sensation on your skin and

other surface objects. The more intense the BTU’s, the closer the radiant

heat waves are, the more individuals will feel a warming sensation. The

ambient temperature around the heater is equal to 38,000 BTU’s after burning

for five minutes. The Commerical Outdoor Heater features an adjustable

control valve, allowing for a desired heat output. Whether a cozy dinner on

the patio or those large gathering, you’ll always have the right heat.

Burner Characteristics:

The Commerical Outdoor Heater burns with a blue flame being 2”-3” and

a yellow/orange tip. The emitter will glow a hot red, radiating heat to the

hood and down with warmth for you.

Safety Tilt Feature:

The Commerical Outdoor Heaters come with a Safety Tilt feature that will

shut off the gas if the heater tilts over or is knocked down. This unique

safety feature is just another comfort for your peace of mind.

Care of L.P. (Propane) Gas Cylinders

(Not included)

WARNING:

L.P. GAS CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED ON UNITS

EQUIPPED FOR NATURAL GAS.

If your heater is designed for use with an L.P. cylinder (not included), the cylinder must meet the following requirements:

• Cylinder weight is 20 lb. (9.07 kg); cylinder has outside diameter of 12-1/8 in. (30.8 cm), length of 18 in. (45.7 cm) and is constructed and marked to specifications of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or Canadian Transport Commission (C.T.C.). Cylinder has shut-off valve outlet which is a No. 510, female P.O.L.; a safety relief device which has direct communication with vapor space of cylinder. Supply system is arranged for vapor withdrawal. Cylinder includes a collar to protect valve. When use with L.P. gas, special precautions should be observed when handling L.P. cylinders. Remember that this is gas and under pressure, which MUST be handled with care. Ask your L.P. gas dealer to give you a “short course” on necessary safety precautions and check local codes for use, storage and transport regulations. Among the recommended practices are:

1. Always keep L.P. cylinders upright.

2. Do not subject L.P. cylinders to excessive heat.

3. Avoid damage to tank valves - handle them with care.

4. Never store L.P. cylinders indoors or in direct sunlight.

5. Do not handle L.P. cylinders roughly. Follow instructions for connecting and disconnecting L.P. cylinders for the heater and be sure to leak check all connections each time the cylinder is connected. Always use a solution of soap and water. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME! Always turn off the gas supply to the heater at the cylinder as soon as you are finished using the heater. The L.P. cylinder must be equipped with the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the heater. The pressure regulator is set at the factory for maximum efficiency. Visually inspect the entire length of the hose for damage before use. This requires opening the door of the L.P. cylinder enclosure. If damage or excessive wear is found, replace the regulator assembly immediately. If needed, order only factory original parts. Do not attempt to substitute parts. Always store L.P. Cylinders in a well ventilated space. If you intend to store the heater indoors, disconnect the L.P. Cylinder and store it outside. Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug tightly installed. When the L.P. Cylinder is not disconnected from the heater, the heater and cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated space, out of the reach of children. If you have not purchased an Auto-Stop Fill Tank, never allow your cylinder to be filled above the liquid level stop fill gauge. The P.O.L. service valve and liquid level gauge are designed to be closed leak-tight by hand. If wrenches are necessary to stop a leak, the valve probably needs repair or replacement. Check all cylinder and line connections periodically to be sure they are tight. Make certain your cylinder is properly fastened in place with the tank safety strap.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

READ BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING:

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This appliance operates with a Safety Pilot System. It is important that the pilot lights before the burner

can light.

B. BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor

because some gas is heavier (PROPANE) than air and will settle on the floor. (NATURAL GAS WILL RISE)

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in

or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

E. Quick disconnects are not recommend because of possible gas leaking from connections.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

The heater may be installed on a combustible floor surface. If the heater is installed near a combustible wall or ceiling surface, the following minimum clearances must be maintained: 24 in. from any ceiling surface, and 36 in. from any wall on all sides.

This appliance is CSA Certified for outdoor installation only in a well ventilated space. The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition. It must not be used in a building, garage, or any enclosed area or structure. The ground surface used for installation must be firm and level, and allow adequate ventilation around the unit (a minimum of 36 in. clear per side). At no time should any part of the L.P. cylinder enclosure be blocked off.

24" FROM ANY CEILING SURFACE

36" FROM ANY WALL ON ALL SID
