Operation

Leak Test (Before First Use)

Before performing a leak test, ensure no sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area.

1. Connect the propane gas tank to the regulator.
2. Turn the valve on the unit to the "off" position.
3. Brush a soap and water mixture on all connections.
4. Turn the gas supply on. If bubbles occur on any connection, there may be a leak.
5. If you smell gas or a leak is discovered, turn the gas valve off, disconnect the propane gas tank, and do not use the appliance until the leak is repaired.

Note: Do not use the heating unit without inspecting the gas hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion, you must replace the hose (if applicable).

Initial Ignition Warning: Pumice stones/lava rocks/LavaGlass® could pop up and strike somebody's face during the process of lighting this unit. Stand away from the unit for the first 20 minutes after igniting. Flame height should be a yellow/blue color between 2 - 10 inches in height.

Wait 50 minutes after extinguishing flame prior to placing a lid (if applicable) or protective cover on heating item.
