circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean and free of debris and/or spider or insect nests.

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. 

 
TIP (FOR STAINLESS STEEL MODELS): 

Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of your heater. Apply to exterior 
surfaces from the post down. DO NOT apply to emitter screen or domes. 

 
Storage

Between uses: 

 

Turn Control Knob OFF. 

 

Disconnect LP source. 

 

Store heater upright 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

 

 
Service

Only a qualified service person should repair gas passages and associated components. 

 

Caution

: Always allow heater to cool before attempting service.
