SAFETY INFORMATION
Continued
21. This heater is safe for indoor use in small
recreational enclosures, having means for pro
-
viding combustion air and ventilation, such as
enclosed porches, cabins, fishing huts, trailers,
tent trailers, tents, truck caps and vans. It may
be used for emergency indoor heating when
connected to a disposable 1 lb. propane/LP
cylinder and for indoor use in commercial
enclosures, having means for providing com
-
bustion air and ventilation, such as construction
trailers or temporary work enclosures.
22. When the heater is cold or at room tempera
-
ture, it will take a few minutes for the burner
tile to turn bright orange. This is normal and
the heater is working properly. If burner tile
is visibly flaming, turn heater off and call a
qualified service technician.
23. When the unit is lit, there should be about a
quarter inch border around the tile that will
not turn bright orange. This is normal.
24. When operating the heater for the first time,
the top area of the reflector may discolor. This
is also normal and is no reason for concern.
25. When operating the heater at altitudes over
7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level, the unit
may not burn as bright as in lower altitudes.
This is normal. At higher altitudes, the heater
may shut-off. If this happens, provide fresh
air, wait 5 minutes and relight heater.
26. Operating time will vary depending on the
heater setting and the supply cylinder size.
3 to 6 hours on a 1 lb. (0.45 kg) cylinder. 48
to 110 hours on a 20 lb. (9 kg) cylinder (based
on HI and LO settings).
27. Moving heater when lit or bumping heater
while setting it down may cause tip over
switch to shut off heater. If this happens relight
heater.
