Coleman Patio & Light 5040B740 Owner's Manual

Ensure the gas supply is connected and turned on. Turn the control knob to the 'Ignite' position and press the igniter button while holding the knob in. Once ignited, release the igniter button and adjust the flame as needed.
Check the gas supply and ensure the tank is not empty. Inspect the igniter for any damage or dirt that might be obstructing the spark. Clean or replace as necessary.
Turn off the gas supply and let the burner cool completely. Use a brush to remove any dirt or debris from the burner ports and surfaces. Avoid using water directly on the burner.
Regularly check the gas connections for leaks, clean the burner and reflector, inspect the ignition system, and ensure all screws and fittings are tight.
Uneven heat can be caused by clogged burner ports. Clean the burner as described in the user manual, and ensure the heater is placed on a level surface.
It is not recommended to use the patio heater in strong winds, as this can extinguish the flame or cause instability. Always follow safety guidelines provided in the manual.
Disconnect the gas supply and cover the heater with a weather-resistant cover. Store it in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust and damage.
Check for drafts or strong winds that may be affecting the pilot light. Inspect the pilot tube for blockages or dirt, and clean if necessary.
No, the heater is designed for outdoor use only. Using it indoors can pose serious safety risks, including carbon monoxide poisoning.
Turn off the heater and disconnect the power source. Remove the protective cover and unscrew the old bulb. Replace it with a new bulb of the same type and wattage, then reattach the cover.
