CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your
heater, make sure you perform the following maintenance
on a regular basis:
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
1. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
2. While washing your heater, be sure to keep the area around the burner and assembly
dry at all times. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to use it.
It must be replaced.
Keep the heater area free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline o
r other
flammable vapors and liquids. Visually check burner flames.
Visually check the hose assembly inside the post and check for any cracks or worn sections.
1. Unscrew gas hose and regulator hose with 3/4’’ inch open end wrench and
adjustable wrench.
2. Unscrew the screws on pole, and take out the burner head assembly.
3. Check if there are any cracks or worn sections on hose. If yes, contact your gas
supplier to replace the hose.
4. At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders,
spider webs or other insects.
Air flow must be un
obstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean.
Signs of possible blockage include:
1. Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
2. Heater does not reach the desired temperature.
3. Heater glow is excessively uneven.
4. Heater makes uneven popping noise.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage
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. Clean hood and emitter with warm soapy water
if any carbon deposits develop.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT touch or move
heater for at least 45
minutes after use.
Allow all burner elements
to cool before touching.
NOTE:
In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion occurs
more quickly than normal. If the heater is exposed to this type of
environment, you should frequently check for corroded areas and
repair them promptly.
