MAINTENANCE:

PRECAUTIONS TO
BE TAKEN WHEN
THE APPLIANCE IS
NOT TO BE USED
FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME:
Always keep the
heater area clear
and free from
combustible
materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Store heater when it has cooled in a zippered bag or other
sealed dust free location between uses.
Keep the vent areas (slots in the bottom and the top at the
front of heater) clear at all times.
Visually inspect the pilot flame and burner periodically dur-
ing use. The pilot flame should be blue in color (not yellow)
and will extend beyond the thermocouple. The flame will
surround the thermocouple just below the tip, see Figure 6.
A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame
or
and main burner flame meet. The burner should be bright
orange (with a slight blue color around the border, a red-
orange haze that is visible on the ceramic tile is acceptable)
and without a noticeable flame. A blue flame that rolls out
at the top of the ceramic tile indicates an accumulation of
