Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the 

regulator assembly and remove the LP cylinder 

from the heater before putting the heater 

into storage. If, for any reason, the heater is 

to be stored indoors, the heater MUST be 

disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the 

cylinder stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, 

out of the reach of children, and in accordance 

with the Standard for Storage and Handling of 

Liquefied Gasses, ANSI/NFPA 58 - latest edition. 

The plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied 

with the LP cylinder must be reinstalled on the 

valve to protect the fitting from damage.

NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done 

by a qualified service person.

It is recommended that you save all of the 

packaging materials that came with your heater, 

and re-package the heater using these materials 

for safe storage.

Debris, dust and dirt inside of the heater body 

can affect the performance of your heater. This 

debris can impair the heaters ability to draw air 

for ventilation and combustion. Spiderwebs can 

also appear during periods of inactivity.

Be sure to inspect the heater before each use to 

look for any such obstructions. Be sure to keep 

the air passage-ways, burner and combustion 

areas clean. Wipe with a damp cloth or use 

a vacuum cleaner to clean these areas. It is 

suggested that you perform a thorough cleaning 

at least once every 30 days of operation. You 

may need to clean the heater more often if 

conditions are naturally dirty.

Clean the ceramic plaques using compressed air 

below 30 PSI to prevent damage to plaques.

A yellow tip of the pilot flame indicates that the 

burner area may be in need of cleaning.

Never store an LP cylinder inside of a building or near any other 

gas or oil burning appliances.

Always be sure that the heater has been allowed to cool for at least 

30 minutes before attempting to store, service, or perform 

maintenance.
