Wipe surfaces clean with mild dish detergent or baking soda.
For stubborn surfaces use a citrus-based degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush.
Rinse clean with water.
NOTE:
1. While cleaning the 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.
2. Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of the heater. Apply to
exterior surfaces from the pole down. Do not apply to emitter screen or domes
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep the controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean.
Signs of possible blockage include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
The heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
The heater glow is excessively uneven.
The 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.
Between uses or during periods of extended inactivity:
Turn control knob to the "OFF" position.
Disconnect the LP cylinder and move to a secure, well-ventilated location outdoors.
Store the 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.
If desired, use cover(s) to protect the heater and help prevent buildup
in air passages.
CAUTION:
Wait until heater is cool before covering.
