Operation - Mr. Heater MH18B Instructions D'utilisation Et Manuel Du Propriétaire

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
• 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. Due to local
atmospheric conditions heater may
not relight.
• Operating time will vary based on the
temperature of the surroundings and
if running the heater on low, medium,
or high setting. Rough guidelines are
as follows: Single 1lb cylinder (1.5 to
6hrs); 2 x 1lb cylinders (3 to 12 hrs);
20lb cylinder (24 to 108hrs); 2 x 20lb
cylinders (48 to 216hrs). Heater may be
operated from quick disconnect, one
or both regulated inlets. Due to the
properties of LP gas, runtimes can be
significantly reduced when operating
continuously at temperatures
below 20ºF. Use of a 20 lb. tank is
recommended in these conditions.
• When moving heater when lit or
bumping heater setting it down, the
tip over switch may shut off heater. If
this happens, re-light.
• NOTE: THIS HEATER MAY BE
OPERATED WITH (1) OR (2)

• LP cylinders must be marked in
accordance with "Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transporation of
Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA B339".
• Use only 16.4 oz. (1 lb.) disposable
cylinders that mate with No. 600 valve
connection.
• Heater and attached cylinder must
be in an upright position during

operation.

1. Make sure four-position Control Knob
is in "OFF" position. See Figure 1.
2. Screw 1 lb. disposable LP-gas supply
cylinder clockwise (from bottom) into
portable heater until hand-tight. See
Figure 2. Do not use thread sealant on
this connection.
3. Check cylinder connection for leaks
with soapy water at the threaded
connection under the domed plastic
cover where the cylinder screws into
the regulator. SEE WARNING! ON
DOMED PLASTIC COVER.
4. Depress and turn Control Knob
counterclockwise to "PILOT" position.
See Figure 4. Hold Control Knob down
in the pilot position for 30-40 seconds.
5. While holding down the Control Knob,
rotate clockwise to the OFF position
and immediately turn back to the pilot
position, a spark will be generated
at the pilot assembly and the heater
should light. If the heater does not
light on the first attempt, repeat the
procedure.
6. Once the pilot has lit, hold the Control
Knob down for an additional 30
seconds to heat the thermocouple.
After 30 seconds, release the Control
Knob and the pilot should remain lit.
7. If the pilot goes out repeat the lighting
procedure.
8. After lighting pilot, release knob.
Knob should return to fully extended
position. See Figure 5.
9. Turn control knob to "LO" or "MD"
position to light heater. Leave on "LO"
or "MD" position until the left burner
tile has turned bright orange.
10. After left burner tile has turned bright
orange, adjust heat output by turning
Control Knob to desired position
("LO", "MD" or "HI"). Note: Both tiles
turn orange only on HI setting. (2) 1
LB. propane bottles are needed to
use heater in (HI) position.

head of cylinder is damaged, punctured
or deteriorated.
WARNING: Do not operate heater
unless control knob is locked in a
position marked "hi", "md", "lo" or
"pilot". Never set control knob between
locked positions. Poor combustion and
higher levels of carbon monoxide may
result.
