CAUTION

PT-11T-CPH-E

Connecting to Gas Supply

IMPORTANT! Always use a propane (LP) cylinder that has a

connection device that is compatible with your hose and regulator assembly.

1. To connect LP cylinder, insert regulator end fitting into cylinder valve, rotate coupling nut clockwise and tighten.

2. Open valve on propane cylinder slowly. If the valve is not opened slowly, the excess flow check valve in the regulator will stop the flow of gas. If this should happen, close the valve, wait one minute and re-open, slowly.

VENTILATION

Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at least 2,800 sq. cm for each 29 Kw/Hr. of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being used.

The Propane (LP) gas pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the heater must be used without alteration.

INSTALLATION

1. Inspect LP cylinder to ensure it is in good condition and hose connection to heater.

2. Connect regulator to a propane gas supply cylinder.

NOTE: Optimum efficiency is achieved when the heater uses the appropriate full LP cylinder

3. Slowly open the LP cylinder. Leak test all gas connections with 50/50 soap and water solution prior to start-up. Soap bubbles indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use a match or flame to test for gas leaks.

Lighting Instructions

1. STOP! Be sure to read all of the Safety Information

(See pages 1-3).

– ALWAYS Stand to the side or rear of the heater. – ALWAYS keep face and other body parts away from

the heater.

2. Check that the valve and propane cylinder

is open.

3. Turn the heater regulator knob CLOCKWISE to the

(OFF) position.

4. Wait five (5) minutes for any gas to clear. Smell for

gas around the heater, including near the floor. If you do smell gas STOP! Follow the safety instructions and check leaks. If there is no gas smell proceed to the next step.

5. Turn the regulator knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the

“HI” position.

6. Insert a lit match into the ignition hole in the reflector.

7. Press the safety shut-off valve plunger for ten(10) seconds.

8. Mesh burner will light and glow red. (Continued on Page 10)

9. If the burner does not stay lit, repeat the lighting process.

Shutdown Instructions

1. Turn the valve on the LP cylinder CLOCKWISE to stop

the flow of fuel.

2. Turn the heater regulator knob to the OFF position and

wait at least fifteen (15) minutes for the heater to cool.

3. After the plaques have stopped burning (no longer glow-

ing), disconnect Regulator Hose assembly from the LP cylinder.

4. Tightly close the gas shutoff valve on the LP cylinder

after each use.

5. Remove the heater from the LP cylinder by reversing

the steps in Connecting Heater to LP Cylinder. DO NOT

store the LP cylinder with the heater still attached or in an enclosed area.

NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT HEATER BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST ANNUALLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.

Maintenance / Storage

Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator assembly and remove the LP cylinder from the heater before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason the heater is to be stored indoors, the heater MUST be disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the cylinder stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area, out of the reach of children. The plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied with the LP cylinder must be reinstalled on the valve to protect the fitting from damage.

NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done by a qualified service person.

Save all packaging materials that came with your heater, and re-package the heater for safe storage. Be sure to inspect the heater before each use to look for any such obstructions such as spiderwebs. Be sure to keep the air passage-ways, burner and combustion areas clean. This heater should receive a thorough cleaning at least once every 30 days of operation. You may need to clean the heater more often if conditions are naturally dirty. Clean the Ceramic plaques using compressed air below 30 PSI to prevent damage.

- NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING, OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A FUEL SOURCE.
