CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy the outstanding performance from your patio heater, make sure you
perform the following activities on a regular basis:
1. Use warm 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
assembly 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.
a. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gaso-
line and other flammable vapors and liquids.
b. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
c. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear
from debris.
3. 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). Patio heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
(3). Patio heater flame is excessively uneven.
(4). Patio heater makes popping noises.
(5). Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifice. This dangerous
condition can damage patio heater and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner
holes by using a heavy-duty pipe clearer.
Compressed air may help clear away small particles.
4. Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean burner with warm soapy
water if any carbon deposits develop.
5. Cover your patio heater with an outdoor weather cover when not in use to
protect it from the elements.
NOTE:
Always allow patio heater to cool COMPLETELY before you cover the
patio heater with an outdoor weather cover or you attempt to service or
perform maintenance.
