Maintenance / Storage
Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator
assembly and remove the LP cylinder from the heater
before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason the
heater is to be stored indoors, the heater MUST be
disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the cylinder stored
outdoors in a well- ventilated area, out of the reach of
children, and in accordance with the Standard for Storage
and Handling of Liquefied Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 - latest
edition. The
plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied
with the LP cylinder must be reinstalled on the valve to
protect the fitting from damage.
NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done by a quali-
fied service person.
It is recommended that you save all of the packaging
materials that came with your heater, and re-package the
heater using these materials for safe storage.
Debris, dust and dirt inside of the heater body can affect
the performance of your heater. This debris can impair the
heaters ability to draw air for ventilation and combustion.
Spiderwebs can also appear during periods of inactivity.
Be sure to inspect the heater before each use to look for
any such obstructions. Be sure to keep the air
passage-ways, burner and combustion areas clean. Wipe
with a damp cloth or use a vacuum cleaner to clean these
areas. It is suggested that you perform a thorough clean-
ing at least once every 30 days of operation. You may
need to clean the heater more often if conditions are
naturally dirty.
Clean the Ceramic Plaques using compressed air below
30 PSI to prevent damage to plaques.
A yellow tip of the pilot flame indicates that the burner area
may be in need of cleaning.
WARNING! This heater is not intended for residential use.
