Operating Instructions and Owner’s Manual
NOTE: In cases where long runs of gas supply lineshave
been installed ahead of the appliance, it may be necessary
to bleed trapped air out of the supply lines before lighting
the burner. New installations generally require bleeding of
supply lines. Wait a minimum of five minutes after
bleeding the supply lines before attempting to light the
heater.
6. IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to adjust the main
burner input using the main gas supply valve, for
this may cause the thermocouple to shut down the
burner.
Shut-down instructions:
To turn the heater OFF:
1. Close the LP-Gas supply cylinder valve.
2. Observe the burner until flame is extinguished.
3. Listen for closure of the safety valve.
4. IMPORTANT: DO NOT re-open the LP-Gas supply
cylinder valve before the safety valve closes.
