CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you
perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
KEEP EXTERIOR SURFACES ClEAN.
1. Use soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive
cleaning agents.
2. While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and
control compartment dry at all times. Do not submerge the control valve
assembly. If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use it. It must
be replaced.
3. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating
air passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
• Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
• Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
• Heater glow is excessively uneven.
• Heater makes 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 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 FOR STAINlESS STEEl MODElS:
Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance
of your heater. Apply to exterior surfaces from the post down.
DO NOT apply to emitter screen or domes.
