CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Make sure you perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
·
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
·
Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean.
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.
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.
Storage
Between uses or during periods of extended inactivity:
1. Turn Control Knob OFF.
2. Disconnect LP cylinder and move to a secure, well-location outdoors.
3. Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as
rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
Note:
Never leave LP-gas tank exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive heat.
4. If desired, use the cover (K) to protect the heater and help prevent buildup in air passages.
CAUTION:
Wait until heater is cool before covering.
