BURNER INSTALLATION/PILOT CLEANING 

BURNER INSTALLATION: 

Install the burner assembly by reversing the four (4) steps used for disassembly making certain the   

burner assembly stands centered when complete. 

After reassembly, the heater should be test fired. Observe the burner flame.    The flame should be   

blue with a slight yellow tipping. 

PILOT CLEANING: 

The pilot burner provides a flame to light the main burner.    It also heats a thermocouple which must   

be hot before allowing the main burner to come on. 

If the pilot is blocked by debris, spider webs, etc., the pilot flame may be small and the thermocouple may 

not heat up enough for the main burner to come on.    If this occurs it will be necessary to clean the pilot.

BEWARE 
    OF   
SPIDERS 

 
 
CAUTION : BURNER TUBES MUST BE 
INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE FIRST 
USE 
 
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs 
or make nests in the burner tubes and orifices 
during warehousing and transit.   These webs or 
nests can lead to a gas flow obstruction which 
could result in a fire on or around the burner tubes.   
This type of fire is known as FLASH BACK and 
can cause serious damage to your patio heater and 
create an unsafe operating condition for the user. 
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only 
cause of FLASH BACK it is the most common 
cause and frequent inspections and cleaning of the 
burner tubes is necessary .
