General Information - Mr. Heater MH9BX Instructions D'utilisation Et Manuel Du Propriétaire

GENERAL INFORMATION:

•
When the heater is cold, 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.
Note: The heater is to be used outdoors, but may experience
nuisance shutoffs due to certain wind conditions.
•
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.
•
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.
• The protective grill on the front of this heater is coated
with a special high-temperature resistant paint. When
the heater is used for the first time, the grill may give
off noticeable smoke or fumes. This is normal and will
not occur during subsequent uses. The fumes are not
harmful.
•
Designed to operate at altitudes up to 7,000 feet. When
operating the heater at altitudes over 7,000 FT. 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 re-light. If the heater continues to shut
off, there may not be enough oxygen available to feed
proper combustion.
•
Operating time will be approximately 3 to 6 hours
on a one 1lb cyclinder and 48 to 110 hours on a 20
lb cylinder (based on "HI" and "LO" settings). Due to
the properties of LP gas, runtimes can be significantly
reduced when operating continuously at temperatures
below 20ºF.
•
This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety switch.
Nuisance shut-downs may be experienced if the unit
is bumped or moved. if this occurs simply relight the
heater.
•
Do not leave this appliance unattended while it is in
operation.
•
LP cylinders must be marked in accordance with
"Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transporation of
