Would someone please find out if room air is being drawn into the grill at the lower rear of the machine when it's running & both hoses on? Thanks

I just checked mine out. The lower grill is a fake grill. It's actually not a grill at all. It is one solid piece of plastic with no holes in it.

Yes, the fan is cooling down the system, esp the light, I think. I find the instructions for turning off the machine confusing. I let the fan run for 10 min or so, check that it feels cool, then pull the plug. The machine works great except for the OFF snag.

On my machine; facing the machine, the flow of air is coming out the right side; which would be the left side exiting the unit if behind it.

We use this at or vacation cabin and have never had a problem. This includes the fact that I must drain and refill it often. Do you have a fitting that let's air in on the supply line? The tank of the heater is flexible and needs air when you drain it.

Mark, This seems to be a common problem with these units. I don't have mine anymore because Consumer Reports Took away their recommendation because some of them were catching on fire. When I did have it, I solved the drain hose issue by gluing in a stopper with silicone glue. I can't remember exactly where the stopper went, but some close examination should allow you to figure out where to put the stopper. It was a small drain hole. Check on google re the fire issue. You may want to try to return it if you can. I got a Frigidare unit which is working fine.

I don't believe you need to purge air out of the hose. This adds freon air into your system because there is not enough freon air in the system to begin with.

I read the manual, and definitely NO!!! The danger is that the reduced air flow with two griddles installed may cause the burner to go out, but since gas is still being fed it may reignite and actually explode!!!!!

you place this unit in the supply air grill in the room your trying to get more air flow into and low the temperature of the room. As the air is blowing in your room that you have put this unit in. This unit has air blowinto the unit and blows out the air from the unit with an increase of air blowing in your room now with a lower temperature as well.

it may be getting air in the have you tried spraying the line with soapy water like a Dawn type detergent and water and if it bubbles then you know that air in the line and possibly a leak spray water where heater hooks up at in at the propane tank hookups.. I had this happen to me it was my regulator getting air... I hope this help..

Mine is working great are you seeing air on the intake tube if not shake your canater around jently front to back left to right all of air pockets should come out and be whisper quiet.

The air enters the front around the oval plate. It exits on the left through a plastic grill. There is quite a breeze on high, but it is barely detectable on low. We have three on 24/7, one for a couple of years.

Is it possible that you have a regulator on the tank and at the grill? If so remove one. Never alter gas fittings, they are made that way for a reason.

I don't see anything in the manual that explains what that second port was designed for. Maybe it's for a different model. It doesn't appear to have any function. It just looks down into the back of the cabinet, and that general space is open via the grill on the back of back/side of the unit. So there's nothing pulling on it for air intake or pushing against it for exhaust.

When grill is cold, and wind free remove grates and burner covers. Light grill. If the flame on low setting drifts or hops above the burners, and is noisy it sounds like you are getting too much air. if it just goes on and off in parts, the problem may be gas flow. If you adjust it, remember to final check it on low, med and high settings for best general flame to make sure no yellow flame is present

The end where you connect the air hose could be an automotive or household style quick disconnect. Just go to your local hardware store and buy the other style.

Jerry, I teed from the tank and ran a separate line to the shop then placed another regulatorwhere I entered the shop, the reason I did this was so when my other furnace and hot waterheater kicked in the pressure would not be too low, I maybe wrong but error on safety first.Your Propane supplier should be able to answer this question correctly .

Great question I am sure others have wondered about the same thing. You must remove the cover on sleeve. It is there to protect the sleeve during shipping and handling but must be removed so the AC can exhaust out the back. Also, you should remove the grill that is on the sleeve and replace it with the one that comes with the AC. Great unit if installed properly.
