Safety Practices & Precautions

2

●

When properly cared for, your Del Rey Heater will give safe, reliable service for many

years. However, extreme care must be used since the heater produces intense heat and
can increase accident potential. When using this appliance basic safety practices must be
followed, including the following:

●

Read this Care and Use Guide carefully and completely before using your heater to

reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury. Begin by ensuring proper installation
and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the heater unless specifically recom­mended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.

WARNING

Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the

“

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”section of this manual.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:

1. Shut off gas to the appliance.

2. Extinguish any open flames.

3. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.

●

Do Not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

●

Do not use in an explosive atmosphere, keep heater away from areas where gasoline or

other flammable liquids or vapors are stored or used.

●

Before each use check for damaged parts such as hoses, or burner.

●

Do not attempt to alter unit in any manner.

●

It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulation air passageways of
the heater must be kept clean. The heater should be inspected before each use, and at
least annually by a qualified service person, for the presence of spiders, webs or other
insects. The burner area is a common and desired spider haven.

Safety Practices & Precautions

3

●

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the heater is being

used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the heater at any time. When in
use, portions of the heater get hot enough to cause severe burns.

●

Never let clothing, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any

part of heater or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal
injury.

●

Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions

provided with this product. Have your heater installed by a qualified technician. Have the
installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is located so that you know where to
shut off the gas to the heater. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of
checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly seated and tightened, you can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a

“do-it-yourself”

procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the heater in operation mode and for your
protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate leak.

●

Clean the heater with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to

clean the heater while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if
applied to a hot surface.

●

Be sure all heater controls are turned off and the heater is cool before using any type of

aerosol cleaner on or around the heater. The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

●

Do not operate the heater under unprotected combustible construction, maintain clear-

ances. Use only in well ventilated areas.

●

Keep the area surrounding the heater free from combustible materials, trash, or com-

bustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.

●

To avoid the risk of burns or accidental cloth ignition, do not touch the heater anywhere

near the burner assembly during operation.

●

Do not touch the burner assembly until after the heater has cooled.

●

Carefully monitor young children in the vicinity of any operating heater.

●

Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials from, on, or near the heater.

●

All leak tests should be done with a soap solution. Matches should never be used for this

purpose.

●

This outdoor heater is primarily for temporary heating of outdoor patios, decks, spas,

pool, and work areas.
