LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
TO TURN OFF GAS
Once the purging is complete, the burner will light and operate
as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting
of the appliance will not require such purging unless the gas
supply has been disconnected.
The propane regulator in this appliance is equipped with
a low fl ow protection device. Unless the propane cylinder
valve is opened before the patiofl ame valve, the gas fl ow
will be reduced resulting in a very small fl ame.
To reset this device, shut off the patiofl ame valve, then
the propane cylinder valve.
Next, disconnect the regulator adaptor from the tank and
then reconnect. Follow the lighting procedure ensuring
the propane cylinder valve is opened before the unit is.
