Operating Instructions
Lighting the Heater
To light your patio heater:
- Ensure the propane tank valve is fully open.
- Locate the control knob on the heater's main column.
- Press and hold the control knob inward, then rotate it to the "High" setting.
- While holding the knob, press the red igniter button repeatedly until the burner ignites. You may hear clicking sounds.
- Once ignited, continue to hold the control knob for 10-15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and engage the safety valve.
