Operating Instructions

Checking for Leaks

Burner Connections

1.Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.

If your unit was assembled for you, visually check the connection between the burner venturi pipe and orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over the orifice.

WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or follow these instructions could cause a fire or an explosion which can cause death, serious bodily injury or damage to property.

2.Please refer to diagram for proper installation. (Figures 1 and 2)

3.If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice, please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

4.Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN”.

5.Select burner to light. Push and turn control knob to (HIGH).

6.Press the (igniter) button repeatedly 3 to 4 times to light burner.

7.If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob (OFF), wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure.

8.If igniter does not light burner, use a lit match secured with the lighting rod provided to light burners manually. Position the lit match near side of the burner. (Figure 5)

Important: Always use the lighting rod provided when lighting burners with a match.

9.After lighting, observe the burner flame, make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches illustration. (Figure 6)
