strong drafts do not blow into front or rear of heater.

4. Make sure the control knob is in the OFF position.
5. Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong, grounded

extension cord. Extension cord must be at least 6 feet

(1.83 m) long, UL/CSA listed and of a proper size. See

grounded outlet. Motor will start. Fan will turn, forcing

air out front of heater.

7. Open propane supply valve on Propane / L.P. tank(s)

slowly.

Note: If not opened slowly, excess-flow check valve on

Propane / L.P. tank will stop gas flow. You may hear a click

from the excess-flow check valve closing. If this

happens, reset the excess-flow check valve by closing

Propane / L.P. supply valve and open again slowly.

to the LOW position. Heater should ignite within a few

seconds.

Note: If heater fails to ignite, hose may have air in it. If so,

keep control knob pressed and wait 20 seconds. Release

automatic control knob and wait 20 seconds for unburned

fuel to exit heater. Repeat step 8.

9. After heater ignites, wait 30 seconds. This activates the

automatic control system. Release the control knob.

10. When burner remains lit, set heater at the desired heat

level by turning the control valve counterclockwise. If burner

goes out, turn off gas. Turn control knob fully clockwise to

the lowest position. Check fuel supply. If adequate fuel is

available, restart heater beginning at step 1.
