– With heater gas valve knob still in OFF position
turn ON the LP cylinder valve and check for

Checking 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, and re-connect the leaking connection.
If the leak persists after several tries, contact
Pinnacle Customer Service at (800) 641-
6996.
– 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 Page 3).
– Inspect the heater before each use, and at
least annually by a qualified service person.
