TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
STORAGE / MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the heater from the LP cylinder
before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason
the heater is to be stored indoors, the tank 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 Petroleum Gases, ANSI/
NFPA 58 - latest edition and Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1. The plastic valve plug or
valve cover supplied with the cylinder must be re-in-
stalled on the valve to protect the fitting from damage.
NOTE: Installation and repair of this heater should be
done by a qualified service person.
ALWAYS be sure to follow proper maintenance proce-
dures. This should include cleaning the inside of the
heater once a month and checking the spark gap at
least once a heating season. Re-gap the terminals to
0.160” (4mm)
Never store an LP
cylinder inside of a
building or near any
other gas or oil burning
appliances.
