WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT touch or move the heater for at least 45
minutes after use. The reflector is hot to the touch,
allow the reflector to cool before touching.
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from
your heater, make sure you perform the following
maintenance activities on a regular basis:
Keep the exterior surfaces clean.
• Use stainless steel cleaner for cleaning. Never use
flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
• While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area
around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all
times. Do not submerge the control valve assembly.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean
dome and burner screen with warm soapy water if
any carbon deposits develop.
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 appearance of your heater. Apply to
exterior surfaces from the pole down. Do not apply
to emitter screen or domes.
