CARE & MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform
the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
1. Use soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning
agents.
2. While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and
control compartment dry at all times. Do not submerge the control valve
assembly. If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use it. It must
be replaced.
3. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air
passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
• Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
• Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
• Heater glow is excessively uneven.
• Heater makes popping noise.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous
condition can damage heater and render it unsafe for use. Clean
burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may
help clear away smaller particles.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean dome and burner
screen with warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.
Note: In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion occurs more quickly
than normal. Frequently check for corroded areas and repair them promptly.
SERVICE:
Only a qualified service person should
repair gas passages and associated
components.
Caution: Always allow heater to cool
before attempting service.
STORAGE:
Between uses:
• Turn control knob OFF.
• Disconnect LP source.
• Store heater in an area sheltered
from direct contact with inclement
weather (such as rain, sleet, hail,
snow, dust and debris).
• If desired, cover heater to protect
exterior surfaces and to help
prevent build-up in air passages.
Never leave LP cylinder exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Note: Wait until heater is cool
before covering.
During periods of extended inactivity
or when transporting:
• Turn control knob OFF.
• Disconnect LP source and move to
a secure, well-ventilated location
outdoors.
• Store fire pit in an area sheltered
from direct contact with inclement
weather (such as rain, sleet, hail,
snow dust and debris).
• If desired, cover fire pit to protect
exterior surfaces and to help
prevent build-up in air passages.
Never leave LP cylinder exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Note: Wait until fire pit is
cool before covering.
