To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the
following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
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 assem-
bly 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.
3.
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.
4. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air passage-
ways clean.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 dam-
age 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. Disassemble the reflector, unscrew the re-
flector spacer, take off the screen, take down one side of the protective guards. Then
take the glass tube from the heater and wash and clear. After that assemble the glass
tube and the remaining parts.
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.
TIP:
Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the ap-
pearance of your heater. Apply to exterior surfaces from
the pole down. Do not apply to emitter screen or domes.
