Tempest Lantern 24v
Maintaining Your Lantern
! Failure to inspect and maintain may lead to malfunctioning of the appliance
and potentially dangerous situations.
Inspect Lantern prior to each use.
Keep Lantern clean, remove any debris that collects in or on Lantern. Inspect for spiders and
insects, they may clog burner ports or air inlets and need be removed before using.
Have the appliance inspected by a qualified service technician annually.
The stainless steel burner top will discolor – this is normal.
Your Tempest Lantern is designed to be cleaned and maintained easily. The most common maintenance
that your Lantern will require is glass cleaning. This is done by loosening the glass retaining screws.
Each piece of glass will have its own retainer. Hold the glass by the exposed edge and slide horizontally
out of its tracks, the glass should slide easily if its retainer screw is loose.
Clean with glass cleaner or warm soapy water. The glass on your Tempest is tempered and designed for
safety. If it breaks it will shatter into small square pieces similar to a car windshield. It is special glass and
if you break one or need to replace a piece use only 3/16” thick tempered glass supplied by your Tempest
Lantern dealer.
To inspect for or clean debris out of the inside of your Lantern remove one piece of glass. This will
provide access to the inside of your Lantern. Once your glass piece is out remove the pyramid shaped
piece with the rings on the top by lifting it straight up, once you are clear of the burner elements turn it
sideways and remove through the glass opening. This will provide you a clear view of all the Lantern
components, visually check for and remove all foreign objects, vegetation, bugs, debris. When
reassembling make sure you orient the Pyramid plate correctly, the burner elements that stick up through
this plate are delicate. Once oriented, slide the plate straight down onto the burner assembly making sure
the edges are seated all the way down.
Winterizing the Lantern.
In areas where the Lantern may not be used in winter, or for an extended period of time, you may wish to shut off
gas to the Lantern. This will insure the Lantern is not accidentally turned on or started with debris or snow inside
the Lantern.
WARNING
:
Do not cover the Lantern.
A cover could combust if it is in place when the Lantern is turned on,
creating a severe safety hazard.
