Before Starting Your Heater
Before you start your heater examine the heater
installation to determine that:
Areas immediately around the heater including
the air inlet and flue areas are free from
obstructions.
Physical support of the heater is sound.
There is no obvious deterioration of the heater.
d
Portable type heaters must be place on level and
adequate footing.
Starting and Shutting Down Your Heater
Sunglo heaters can utilize a variety of gas control
systems. With some models it is necessary to light a
pilot while other models have a fully automatic ignition
system. Identify the model of your heater on the Basic
Lighting Instructions chart on page 6 and follow the
lighting instructions. If heater fails to light or does not
heat properly discontinue use of the heater and contact
your local distributor, or qualified service agency.
Performing Routine Maintenance
Overtime, particularly during long periods of disuse, the
heater can accumulate dirt and debris in and around
the pilot and the burner. Routine maintenance should
be performed at least once a year by a qualified service
agency to insure the heater is operating properly. More
frequent service may be required for heaters located
near waterfronts.
agency to insure that clearances from combustible
material and ventilation requirements are maintained
after alterations are complete. When plastic curtains or
drops are used to enclose a patio you must take steps
to insure that all Sunglo™ heaters have the required
permanent access to outside air. If a patio is to be
partially enclosed a qualified agency familiar with this
type of heating equipment must be consulted to insure
the safe operation of this equipment.
Warning Labels
It is important that warning labels including the lighting
instruction are not removed from the heater. If labels
are damaged, replacement labels are available from
your local dealer or the factory.
Stainless Steel Care
Stainless steel does not “rust”; however air pollution
can leave brown deposits on heaters. We recommend
washing the stainless steel post and base only with a
mild detergent solution and wiping it dry with a soft cloth
to bring back the original shine. The stainless steel may
be expected to permanently darken around the top of
the heater.
Before You Remodel
Should you plan to make any changes to the patio or
building structure after heaters have been installed,
your heater installation must be reviewed by a qualified

HEATER LAYOUT AND PATIO DESIGN
There are a number of
considerations in determining the
type and number of heaters to be
used and their location on your
outdoor patio.
Concept of Patio Heating: Hot air is
not an option for heating an outdoor
patio so a patio heater uses radiant
heat like we receive from the sun.
Radiant Heat: Is the type of heat you
receive from a fireplace, potbelly
stove, or the sun. It is an infrared wave
length that heats objects without first
heating the intervening air. Unlike
ultra violet light there is no sunburn or
sun tanning affect. Infrared will not
attract insects.
Patio Heater: Is an unvented gasfired infra red heater designed to
concentrate radiant heat in outdoor
areas.
Defin ition of Outdoors (For the
purposes of these instructions). An
ap p l i a n c e i s c on s i d e r e d t o b e
outdoors if installed with shelter no
more inclusive than:
1. With walls on all sides, but with no
overhead cover.
2. Within a partial enclosure which
includes an overhead cover and no
more than two side walls. These
side walls may be parallel, as in a
breeze way, or at right angles to
each other.
3. Within a partial enclosure which
includes an overhead cover and
three side walls, as long as 30
percent or more of the horizontal
per i phe r y of t h e en c los u re i s
permanently open.
EFFECTIVE RANGE
(COVERAGE):
The comforting warmth from a single
Sunglo Heater will cover a 12' to 20'
circle. The Sunglo is a “comfort”
heater,” and the coverage is the area
in whic h p e o ple wil l r e ceived a
comforting amount of warmth. Some
pe o ple wil l require more o r less
warmth than others to be comfortable
and will either turn the heater up or
down, or move closer or farther away
as they desire.
TM
TM
WHERE TO LOCATE PATIO
HEATERS:
Sunglo Heaters naturally attract
people to their infrared warm glow.
Locate heaters where people can
readily gather, sit or stand comfortably,
and where furnishings can easily be
moved to best accommodate the
radiating warmth.
TM
GENERAL RULES FOR
LOCATING HEATERS:
A Sunglo Patio Heater can operate
effectively to maintain comfort even in
completely exposed areas, although
w e a t h e r p r o t ec t e d a r e a s a r e
d e s i r a b l e . W e a t h e r a n d w i n d
protection allows the surrounding air
to be warmed to enhance the direct
radiant warming effect.
Breezy Conditions:
Sunglo heaters are designed to
work well under a variety of outdoor
conditions, however under certain
co nditions they work better than
others and under some conditions
they should not be operated at all. The
heater can be operated under breezy
conditions when the cross wind is 010 mph. If heaters are mounted on the
edge of a precipice or sea cliff where
wind is directed upwards into the
reflector hood, damage to the heater
can occur. Upward thrusts of wind can
also be caused by wind walls or
arch i tect u r al ele m ents n e a r the
heater. The patio must be designed to
protect against this type of condition.
TM
TM
WHEN MULTIPLE
HEATERS ARE USED:
When more than one heater is used in
an area, it is generally preferable to
locate them close together. Multiple
heaters located on 8' to 15' centers
gi v e o v er la p pi ng h ea t pa t t e rn s
inc r ea s ing t he o v era l l eff e ct i ve

recommended that when multiple
heaters are used, that the electrical
circuitry be arranged so heaters can
be switched individually or in groups
to provide maximum flexibility for
heating the patio.

Installation Instructions
1. Hanging Frame Mounting: Before attaching
the heater to the U” shaped hanging frame,
mount the frame in position to the overhead
building structure. Use 1/2 inch diameter or
larger bolts on each side leg. Position the
frame to facilitate the connection of gas supply
piping, and on models equipped with an
electrical valve, the electrical supply wiring.
2. Gas Supply Piping: The piping provided with
the heater is assembled to nestle in the
channel of the hanging frame. Connect an
additional length of 1/2 inch pipe long enough
to clear the top of the frame.
Screw the heater onto the 1/2” NPT x 1 inch
long nipple at the outlet end of the piping. The
heater should be turned to allow the control
handle to face in the desired direction.
No t e: A 1/8 in ch NP T pl ugged tapping,
accessible for test gauge connection, must be
installed immediately upstream of the gas
supply connection to the heater. Use a suitable
pipe thread sealant on all gas connections.
3. Heater Mounting: Set the heater (less ref
lector) with the piping assembly attached into
the suspended hanging frame. The piping will
nestle in the hanging bracket channel. Install
and tighten the two (2) 3/8 inch bolts supplied
with the frame and firmly secure the base of the
heater in place.
Electrical Supply: On the A244V 24 volt
model, the electrical inlet is provided on the
right side of the heater opposite the gas inlet
pi p i ng. The el ectricia n shou l d sup p l y a
connection box as shown adjacent to the
heater electrical inlet and run ½” rigid
waterproof conduit up to the right just inside the
frame channel.
WA RN IN G : T h e mi ni m u m fir e ha z a r d
clearance marked on the heater must be
maintained from vehicles parked below the
heater.
The electrical input required to the heater is
0.550 Amps at 24V (rated at 8 Watts). A 4OVA
transformer will service up to three (3) heaters.
A NEC Class 2, 24 volt transformer (20 VA
rating) circuit must be supplied to the heater.
The transformer is to be installed in the junction
box or in accordance with local codes, but in no
case closer than three (3) feet to the reflector.
4. Piping Hook-up: Connect the additional gas
supply piping. Leak test all piping joints with a
soap-water solution. Do NOT use a match to
test for gas leaks.
5. Reflector Mounting: Attach the reflector by
means of the three (3) stainless steel wingnuts
at the top of the heater.
6. Heater Start-up: Follow the lighting and
operating instructions on the rating plate
attached to the hanging frame.

The Original Outdoor Patio Heater
For optimum performance and safety, it is recommended that all installation, service
and annual inspection be done by a qualified agency. Below is a basic guideline for
inspection. A more comprehensive inspection may be required depending on the
initial inspection of the heaters.
Make sure the heater Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual is legible.
Keep manual in a clean dry place. Contact the manufacturer for replacement of
labels or manuals.
Make sure the area around the heater is free of combustibles.
Reflector should be in good condition and free of dust and debris.
Make sure the heater is mounted securely and there is no corrosion or damage
to the post or mounting brackets.
Inspect emitter grid for cracks or bubbles. Using a wire brush remove any soot,
scale or debris from the inside of the emitter grid.
Check the gas line for leaks using soapy water at all joints and connections.
Light heater to verify proper ignition. If heater fails to light, clean pilot and
replace thermocouple if required.
Inspect electrodes for cracks. With the heater off verify the ignition electrode
arcs to the top of the pilot hood.
If heater fails to heat properly, burner and orifice will need to be cleaned.
Observe flames. If flame has a bright yellow appearance or black soot
accumulates on the emitter grid both the burner and emitter grid need to be
cleaned thoroughly.
Make sure the heater control operates easily.
