WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you
perform the following maintenance activities half a year:
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
1. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning
agents.
2. 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.
a. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
b. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
c. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
3. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air
passageways clean.
Visually checking portions of the hose assembly located within the confines of the
heater post. Inspect the entire hose assembly at least annually, disassembling the
reflector and burner. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion,
cuts, or wear. Suspected areas should be leak tested. Then assembling the reflector
and burner again following with step 2 to 7.
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 the 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 burner screen 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.
TIPS:
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.
