heat up.
* Loose thermocouple.
* Defective thermocouple.
* Orifice is plugged
* Defective safety control valve.
* Improper gas pressure
* Defective tip switch
* Bad connection at tip switch
* Heater is not level
* Fuel pressure set too high.
* Blockages in burner orifice or at primary air
inlets of burner.
* Gas supply valves not fully open.
* Burner orifice plugged.
* Low fuel supply pressure.
* Improper spark gap.
* Defective electrode or electrode lead.
* Defective push button igniter.
* If using LP gas, container is low or empty
* Pilot knob is not positioned to ON
* Burner orifice is plugged
* Thermostat is set too low
CURE
* Fill container.

* Replace tip switch
* Check connection, repair or replace
* Level the heater
* Set pressure according to pressure on
dataplate
* Clean area with soft brush, dry cloth, or
compressed air.
* Open valves completely.
* Clean burner orifice with compressed air or

* Consult propane gas supplier. Cylinder or
tank needs replacement or refill. Regulator
needs adjustment. Check for use of proper
regulation and fuel gas.
* Set spark gap to instructions.
* Replace electrode.
* Replace igniter
* Refill or replace LP gas container
* Turn pilot knob to the ON position
* Clean burner orifice with compressed air or
