The manufacturer recommends annual inspection and
cleaning of the combustion and ventilation air passage-
ways of the heater, burner, burner venturi and main burner
orifice at least once a year or immediately upon indication
of any of the following symptoms:
• Flash back
• Smell of aldehyde together with yellowish flames
• Excessive popping noise
• Diminished and uneven emitter glow
The stainless steel emitter screen normally does not
require cleaning and should NEVER be painted. The
reflector may be cleaned, but never painted. Other paint-
ed portions (post, base assembly) of the heater may be
recoated only with high temperature (1200˚F) paint.

.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in
the burner tubes and/or orifices during warehousing and transit.
These webs or nests can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which
could result in a fire in and 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.
