Maintenance

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. 
Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive 
cleaning agents. 
While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner 
and pilot 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.
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 noises.

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 emitter 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.

WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY

•  Do NOT touch or move 

heater for at least 45 minutes 
after use.

• Dome is hot to the touch.
•  Allow dome to cool before 

touching.

TIP: 

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