CARE AND MAINTENANCE     

g

Abrasive cleaners will damage this product.

g

Never use oven cleaner to clean any part of heater

g

g

More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is imperative that control compartment, 
burners and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean. 

g

Spiders and insects can create a dangerous condition that may damage heater or make it unsafe. 
Keep burner area clean of all spiders, webs or insects. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty 
pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles. 

g

Inspect heater before each use.

g

Do not clean heater with combustible or corrosive cleaners. Use warm, soapy water.

g

Do not paint engine, engine access panel or dome.

g

This heater should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.

g

After a period of storage and/or nonuse, check for leaks, burner obstructions and inspect for any 
abrasion, wear, cuts to the hose.

g

Some 1-lb. cylinders may form frost when near empty, which is normal and not a defect.

g

Periodically check the hose located within the confines of the cylinder housing for damage.

Cleaning

1.  Wipe surfaces clean with mild dish detergent or baking soda.   
2.  For stubborn surfaces use a citrus-based degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush.   
3.  Rinse clean with water. 
4.  Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of the heater. Apply to exterior 

surfaces from the pole down. Do not apply to emitter screen or domes

DŽ

Note:

 While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner 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. 

Maintenance

Make sure you perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis: 

g

Keep exterior surfaces clean.

Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.   
Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
