Troubleshooting
Heater will not ignite
Check that the propane cylinder is connected and the valve is open. Ensure the Piezo igniter is being pressed correctly and the control knob is turned to the start position. Verify gas connections are secure.
Burner flame is weak or uneven
Ensure the propane cylinder is not empty. Check for any obstructions in the burner assembly or gas line. Verify adequate gas flow from the cylinder.
Heater shuts off unexpectedly
This could be due to the flame-out safety device. Ensure proper ventilation. If the issue persists, check the tip-over safety switch to ensure the unit is upright. Inspect for any gas supply interruptions.
Strong odor of gas when not lit
Immediately turn off the gas supply at the cylinder. Check all connections for leaks using soapy water. If a leak is detected, tighten the connection or replace the faulty component.
