Before Starting Your Heater

Before  you  start  your  heater  examine  the  heater 
installation to determine that:

Areas  immediately  around  the  heater  including 
the  air  inlet  and  flue  areas  are  free  from 
obstructions.

Physical support of the heater is sound.
There is no obvious deterioration of the heater.
Portable type heaters must be place  on level and 

adequate footing.

Starting and Shutting Down Your Heater

Sunglo  heaters  can  utilize  a  variety  of  gas  control 
systems. With some models it is necessary to light a 
pilot while other models have a fully automatic ignition 
system. Identify the model of your heater on the Basic 
Lighting  Instructions  chart  on  page  6  and  follow  the 
lighting instructions. If heater fails to light or does not 
heat properly discontinue use of the heater and contact 
your local distributor, or qualified service agency.

Performing Routine Maintenance

Overtime, particularly during long periods of disuse, the 
heater can accumulate dirt and debris in and around 
the pilot and the burner.  Routine maintenance should 
be performed at least once a year by a qualified service 
agency to insure the heater is operating properly. More 
frequent service may be required for heaters located 
near waterfronts.

agency  to  insure  that  clearances  from  combustible 
material and ventilation requirements are maintained 
after alterations are complete.  When plastic curtains or 
drops are used to enclose a patio you must take steps 

 

to insure that all Sunglo™ heaters have the required 
permanent  access  to  outside  air.  If  a  patio  is  to  be 
partially enclosed a qualified agency familiar with this 

 

type of heating equipment must be consulted to insure 

 

the safe operation of this equipment.

Warning Labels

It is important that warning labels including the lighting 
instruction are not removed from the heater.   If labels 
are  damaged,  replacement  labels  are  available  from 
your local dealer or the factory.

Stainless Steel Care

Stainless  steel  does  not  “rust”;  however  air  pollution 
can leave brown deposits on heaters. We recommend 
washing the stainless steel post and base only with a 
mild detergent solution and wiping it dry with a soft cloth 
to bring back the original shine. The stainless steel may 
be expected to permanently darken around the top of 
the heater.

Before You Remodel

Should you plan to make any changes to the patio or 
building  structure  after  heaters  have  been  installed, 
your heater installation must be reviewed by a qualified
