Please note the following very important safety precautions:

!!! Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures of

the main burner and reflector and should stay away from these areas.

!!! Children should be carefully supervised when near the heater. This heater is not a

toy and children should not be allowed to push, climb on, or swing on the heater. THESE ACTIONS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH.

!!! Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the heater and/or

placed near the heater during operation.

!!! Installation and repair of the heater should be done by a qualified service technician.

The heater should be visually inspected before each use and at least annually by a

qualified service technician. Certain weather conditions such as being near the ocean, dusty areas, areas with high humidity, areas with high wind conditions, and

heavy use, may require more frequent cleaning or maintenance. When in doubt call a qualified service technician. It is imperative that the control compartment, burner system, and circulating air passages of the heater be kept clean.

!!!

Any part, sub-assembly, or component removed for cleaning or maintenance must be

properly re-installed before using the heater.

Some basic use and maintenance instructions:

!!! Be sure to keep the area where the appliance is being used free from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other flammable materials.

!!! Please be sure there are no obstructions near the heater head.

!!! The appliance is operating properly when there is a nice cherry red glow (seen better

at night) coming from the emitter grid starting two to three inches from the bottom of

the emitter grid. Wind gusts will affect and possibly disrupt the glow and flame

pattern. The heater should not be operated in windy conditions over 5 – 7 MPH. If

you can protect the heater from wind gusts it will operate far more efficiently.

Operating the unit in severe wind or dusty conditions will affect the burning

characteristics, may create soot on the emitter grid and burner, and possibly clog the

pilot or main burner orifices.

!!! The heater post, base, and reflector, may be cleaned with basic soap and water and

mild household cleaning products, car wax, or commercially available

cleaners. Never attempt to clean the emitter grid radiant with any cleaning solutions

or abrasive materials. Never spray the emitter grid or heater head assembly with

water or other liquids, as it will damage the radiant, burner, valve, and ignition

system. These parts are constructed of commercial quality stainless steel and brass

and require no cleaning

small non-abrasive brush to remove excess soot that may have accumulated on the

emitter. If the emitter

and clean the burner head as well.

. Occasionally, you can gently brush the emitter grid with a

grid shows sooting you may have to remove the emitter grid

Function of Heater

Infrared heaters utilize virtually 100% of the fuel/energy they consume to produce clean draftfree warmth. Infrared heaters do not waste precious energy by trying to heat the air. Infrared heat works like the radiant rays of the sun and will directly heat objects near them such as people, tables, chairs who in turn will absorb the heat and reflect it. The push button Piezo ignition system is used to light the pilot flame first. After the thermocouple device allows gas to flow to the main burner head burner Setting. After the main burner is lit the burner will radiate heat in a 360-degree circle. The circle of warmth will vary dependent on outdoor temperatures, wind chill factor, area protection, and other variables. The average heating area is approximately a 10-foot ring of warmth. The reflector will return upwardly radiated heat downwards. On first use please allow heater to burn a few minutes to burn off machining oils used in the production of the heater.

Please note:

you may then safely engage the main

system by turning valve control knob to “ON”

Upon first using the heater, not using the heater for an extended period, or after re-attaching the 12 foot hose to the unit, it may be necessary to depress the control knob at the “PILOT” setting up to two minutes to purge the air in the hose and fuel lines before the PILOT flame will ignite. Please be patient, this is all part of the safety system that has been designed for your protection.

Assembly Tips
