Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Do not perform maintenance after the heater has been turned off until the temperature has cooled down. Do not expose
the pilot, controllers and parts underneath the burner to water. Do not use the heater if any of these parts are exposed to water until the
appliance is inspected or repaired by a qualified service person.
□ Wipe off powder coated surfaces with a soft, moist rag and soapy water. Do not clean the heater with cleaners that are combustible or
corrosive.
□ Remove debris, spider and insect nests from the ventilation opening of the cylinder enclosure, control compartment, burner and
circulation air passageways of the heater with heavy-duty pipe cleaner or compressed air to keep appliance clean and safe for use.
Never clear ports or other openings with toothpicks or other articles that will break and block the ports.
□ If carbon deposits develop, remove the reflector and flame screen and clean them with soap water. Do not paint the flame screen,
control panel or reflector.
□ Cover the burner unit with the supplied protective cover when the heater is not in use. Wait until the heater is cool before covering.
□ In a salt-air environment, such as near an ocean, corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Check frequently for corroded areas and
repair them promptly.

Maintenance

□ Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
□ Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
□ Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
□ Visually check the burner flames.
□ Clean the appliance, including special surfaces, with recommended cleaning agents, if necessary.
□ Visually check portions of the hose assembly located within the confines of the heater post.
