GENERAL INFORMATION
During use, liquid propane in a cylinder vaporizes. As
it vaporizes, the propane cools itself. If this cooling
process lasts too long and proceeds too fast, the
propane temperature and pressure will fall so low that
the heater operation may be improper or even halt.
Often frost forming on the outside of the propane
container warns excessive refrigeration.
Recommendations on how to reduce refrigeration:
A. Provide considerably more propane than you plan
to consume, it’s better to provide twice as much.
B. Fill containers frequently, especially in cold
weather. Never allow propane to fall below
one-third of container capacity.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: You must keep control areas and
top panel of heater clean. Inspect these areas of
heater before each use. Have heater inspected
yearly by a qualified service person.
WARNING: Shut off heater and let cool before
servicing.
EXTERIOR:
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water
mixture. Wipe the cabinet to remove dust.
LOGS:
If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to installing logs,
Pages 3 and 4 to properly replace logs. Replace logs
if broken or chipped.
MAIN BURNER:
Periodically check all burner flame holes with the
heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should
be open with a yellow flame present. Some burner
flame holes may become blocked by debris or rust,
with no flame present. If so, turn off heater and let
cool. Either remove blockage or replace burner.
Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

PILOT AND BURNER:
Clean dust with a vacuum cleaner.
BURNER AIR INLET HOLE:
C. We recommend that you clean the unit every three
months or after 2500 hours operation. We also
recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot
assembly clean and free of dust. To clean these
parts, we suggest using compressed air no greater
than 30 PSI. You can also use a vacuum cleaner in
the blow position. If using compressed air in a can,
please follow the directions on the can. Otherwise,
you might damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit
to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on
injector holder for dust and dirt. (See FIG.14)
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the
burner.Check the injector holder again, remove
any large particles of dust and dirt with a soft cloth
or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
4. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector
holder.
5. In case large clumps of dust have been pushed
into the burner, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot
indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly.
