LIGHTING AND SHUT DOWN
Lighting the Heater
1 Before attempting to light the heater, smell all around
the heater area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because LP Gas is heavier than air and will settle on
the floor. Turn on the gas supply to the appliance and
check all fittings and connections for gas leaks using a
mild soap and water solution. NEVER use a match to
check for gas leaks. Should a gas leak occur, shut off
the gas supply to the appliance immediately. Wait a
minimum of five minutes before repairing the leak.
2 Use only the fuel intended for this appliance. Check the
appliance rating plate for the correct fuel information.
3 Turn the gas valve knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.
See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for location of appliance parts.
4 Wait a sufficient length of time (at least five minutes) to
allow gas which may have accumulated in burner
compartment to escape.
5 Turn on the main gas supply.
6a Depress and turn Control Knob counterclockwise
to “Pilot” position and hold for 1-2 minutes. This
may take longer to purge air from the supply hose
depending on the length of the hose being used.
Depress red spark ignition button to light pilot flame
(repeat until pilot lights) and continue to hold Control
Knob at “Pilot” positionfor 30-60 seconds to enable
Pilot Light Safety System.
Fully turn Control Knob to “ON” position to light burner.
or...
6b To light the pilot, move the lighting hole cover aside
(see Fig. 1) and place a lighted match into the hole.
Depress the gas valve knob and hold while lighting and
observing the pilot burner. Ensure that the pilot burner
ignites from the match. Allow the pilot to burn
approximately 30 seconds before releasing the gas
valve knob. If pilot does not remain lighted, repeat the
lighting operation allowing a longer period of time
before releasing the gas valve knob.
NOTE: In cases where long runs of gas supply lines have
been installed ahead of the appliance, it may be necessary
to bleed trapped air out of the supply lines before lighting
the pilot. New installations generally require bleed of supply
lines. Wait a minimum of five minutes after bleeding
the supply lines before attempting to light the heater.
Adjust pilot if necessary as noted under “Pilot Burner
Adjustment.”
DO NOT operate this heater if any part has been under
