4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to safely ignite and operate your patio heater.

1. Open Propane Valve: Slowly open the valve on your propane tank counter-clockwise until fully open.
2. Ignition:
   • Push the control knob in and rotate it to the 'PILOT' position.
   • While holding the knob in, press the red 'IGNITER' button repeatedly until the pilot flame is visible through the glass tube.
   • Continue to hold the control knob in for approximately 30 seconds after the pilot flame ignites to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
3. Adjust Heat: Once the pilot is stable, release the control knob and slowly rotate it to the 'HIGH' or 'LOW' position to adjust the main burner flame and heat output.
4. Shut Down: To turn off the heater, push the control knob in and rotate it to the 'OFF' position. Close the valve on the propane tank when the heater is not in use.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your heater.

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the stainless steel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
• Glass Tube: Clean the glass tube with a glass cleaner when cool. Ensure no residue is left that could affect flame visibility.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during off-season or inclement weather, cover the heater with a weather-resistant cover. Store the propane tank in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the hose and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Replace any damaged parts immediately.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your heater, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Heater Fails to Ignite:
  • Ensure the propane tank valve is fully open.
  • Check that the regulator hose is securely connected to the tank.
  • Verify the control knob is held in the 'PILOT' position for sufficient time during ignition.
  • Check if the igniter battery needs replacement (AA battery).
• Pilot Flame Does Not Stay Lit:
  • Ensure the control knob is held in for at least 30 seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
  • Check for strong drafts that might be extinguishing the pilot.
• Main Burner Does Not Ignite from Pilot:
  • After the pilot is stable, slowly rotate the control knob from 'PILOT' to 'HIGH' or 'LOW'.
  • Ensure there is sufficient propane in the tank.
• Heater Shuts Off Unexpectedly:
  • Check if the heater has been tilted (tip-over protection activated).
  • Verify the propane tank is not empty (hypoxia protection).
  • Ensure there are no obstructions to the flame or gas flow (flame protection).
