Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your Dyna-Glo wall heater. This unit is designed for wall mounting and includes the necessary hardware and bracket. Ensure the mounting location is suitable for a gas appliance and adheres to all local building codes and regulations. It is recommended to consult a qualified professional for gas line installation.

• Gas Supply Connection: Connect the heater to a liquid propane supply. A 100-lb. propane tank or larger is required, along with a two-stage adjustable regulator. Ensure all gas connections are secure and leak-free.
• Mounting: Use the provided hardware and bracket to securely mount the heater to a sturdy wall surface. If opting for floor mounting, separately sold optional base legs (WBL100) are required.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to safely operate your Dyna-Glo wall heater:

1. Ensure Gas Supply: Verify that the propane tank valve is open and there is sufficient fuel.
2. Ignition:
   • Turn the control knob to the "PILOT" position.
   • Press and hold the control knob in.
   • While holding the knob, repeatedly press the battery-assisted igniter button until the pilot flame ignites.
   • Continue to hold the control knob for 30-60 seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up. Release the knob slowly. If the pilot light goes out, repeat the process.
3. Adjust Heat Setting: Once the pilot is lit, turn the control knob to your desired heat setting:
   • LOW: Approximately 24,000 BTU/hr
   • MED: Approximately 27,000 BTU/hr
   • HI: Approximately 30,000 BTU/hr
4. Fan Operation (Optional): If you have the separately sold Wall Heater Fan (WHF100), locate the fan switch at the back of the unit and turn it on to help circulate the heat more effectively throughout the room.
5. To Turn Off: Turn the control knob to the "OFF" position. Close the valve on the propane tank if the heater will not be used for an extended period.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your heater. Always turn off the heater and disconnect the gas supply before performing any maintenance.

• Cleaning:
  • Periodically clean the exterior of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  • Keep the air intake and exhaust vents clear of dust and debris to ensure proper airflow.
  • If the pilot light struggles to stay lit, gently clean the pilot gas tube with a cotton swab to remove any film or obstruction from the air hole.
• Gas Connections: Annually inspect all gas connections for any signs of wear or leaks. Use a soapy water solution to check for bubbles, indicating a leak.
• Pilot Assembly: Ensure the pilot assembly and thermocouple are free from obstructions and dirt.
