CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 noises.
•
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:
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.
