CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your 
heater, make sure you perform the following maintenance 
on a regular basis: 
 
Keep exterior surfaces clean. 
 

1. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents. 

2. While washing your heater, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry 

at all times. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must 
be replaced. 

Keep the heater area free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable 
vapors and liquids. Visually check burner flames.

 
 
 
Visually check the hose assembly inside the post and check for any cracks or worn sections. 
   

1.

Unscrew gas hose and regulator hose with

3/4’’ inch open end wrench and adjustable 

wrench. 

2.

Check if there are any cracks or worn sections on hose. If yes, contact your gas supplier 
to replace the hose. 

3.

At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider 
webs or other insects. 

Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean. Signs 

of possible blockage include: 

1. Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame. 
2. Heater does not reach the desired temperature. 
3. Heater glow is excessively uneven. 
4. Heater makes uneven 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 engine with warm soapy water if any 
carbon deposits develop. 
 

                                                                                            MAINTENANCE 

NOTE: 

  I

n a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion occurs more 

quickly than normal. If the heater is exposed to this type of environment, you 

should frequently check for corroded areas and repair them promptly. 

WARNING  

FOR YOUR SAFETY 
DO NOT touch or move 
heater for at least 45 
minutes after use. 
Allow all burner elements 
to cool before touching.
