information.
2. Locate heater on stable and level surface.
Make sure strong drafts do not blow into front
or rear of heater.
3. Plug power cord of heater into a three-prong,
grounded extension cord. Extension cord must

cord.
51 to 100 ft (16 to 30 m) long, use 16 AWG
rated cord.

flow check valve on propane tank may stop

valve and open again slowly.
6. Turn on/off switch to the ON position. Adjust
thermostat to desired setting. If heater does
not start, thermostat setting may be too low.
Turn thermostat knob to higher position to start
heater. Note: If heater does not start, turn on/off
