OFFSEASON
• If the heater is to left “OFF” for a

turned off at the propane (LP) gas
supply cylinder.

heater and cylinder must be located
outdoors, in a well-ventilated space,
out of the reach of children, and must

any other enclosed area.

WARNING:
Never use needles,
wires or similar cylindrical objects to
clean the pilot to avoid damaging the
calibrated ruby that controls the gas
flow through the pilot orifice.
