As an example, this heater will require a two car garage door open 2in, as single car garage open 3 in, or two 32in wide windows open 4in. Provide a larger opening if more than one heater is being used at the same time.
• Always keep this heater out of the reach of children. This heater is NOT meant for residential use.

CONNECTING TO A FUEL SOURCE AND CHECKING FOR LEAKS

IMPORTANT! Always use a propane (LP) cylinder that has a connection device that is compatible with the hose and regulator assembly supplied.

1. Remove the back cover by sliding the cover straight up and away from the heater body. Place the LP cylinder on the bottom plate and replace the back cover.
2. To connect LP cylinder, insert regulator end fitting into cylinder valve, rotate coupling nut counter-clockwise and tighten firmly.
3. Open valve on propane cylinder slowly. If the valve is not opened slowly, the excess flow check valve in the regulator will stop the flow of gas. If this should happen, close the valve, wait one minute (or until you hear the valve click), and re-open, slowly.
4. Be sure to inspect all connections for leaks. To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution of dish soap and water. Apply this solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas supply, re-make the leaking connection. If the leak persists after several tries, contact U.S. Stove Customer Service at 800-750-2723 Ext. 5050. The installation of this heater must meet all local codes and/or gas utility requirements. In the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed. The minimum clearances to any combustible construction materials must be maintained at all times (see clearance specifications in this manual).

TEST FIRING HEATER

It is always a good idea to test fire your heater in a safe and controlled environment, in an area with adequate ventilation, and away from any combustibles to be sure that all functions of the heater and gas supply system are operating properly. Again check for leaks DO NOT use a flame to test for leaks.
