8. If the patio heater does not light you may
need to purge air from the gas line or reset
the regulator excess gas flow device. Note;
this procedure should be done every time a
new LP gas tank is connected to your patio
heater.

To purge air from your gas line and/or
reset the Regulator excess gas flow
device:

• Turn the Control Knob to the off position.

• Turn off the gas at the tank valve.

• Disconnect Regulator from the LP gas

tank.

• Let unit stand for 5 minutes.

• Reconnect the Regulator to LP gas tank.

• Turn the tank valve on slowly until 1/4 to

1/2 open.

• Follow lighting steps 5 through 7 listed on

this page.

Awarning

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates a serious problem with your
patio heater or the LP gas tank. Failure to
immediately follow the steps listed below
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.

• Shut off gas supply to the patio heater.

• Extinguish any open flame.

• Get away from the LP gas tank.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.

Do not call near the LP gas tank because
your telephone is an electrical device and
could create a spark resulting in fire
and/or explosion.

3. Make sure all gas connections are securely
tightened.

4. Set Control Knob to "OFF" and open the LP gas
tankvalve.

5. Push and hold the Control Knob, then slowly turn it

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Why won’t the pilot stay lit?
Answer:

Question; Who do I call with questions about my

Kenmore Patio Heater assembly or if parts are

damaged or missing from my shipping box?
Answer: Call the Customer Service Helpline

Sam - 8pm CST, Monday through Friday, at

1-888-317-7642.

Question: Can I convert my Kenmore Patio Heater
from LP gas to natural gas?

Answer: No, this patio heater is manufactured to exact
specifications and is CSA Design Certified for LP gas
use only. For your own safety, conversion kits are not
available and any attempt to convert your patio heater to
natural gasvwll void your product warranty.

Question: Why doesn't the Hose and Regulator Assem
bly supplied with my new patio heater fit the older LP
gas tank I’ve used for years?

Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. Whenever new regulations are
passed the LP gas tank fittings are altered. If your
current tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied
with your new patio heater, the tank is outdated and
must be replaced.

Question: When I originally started my patio heater
there was some smoke and an odor coming from the

Reflector. Is this normal?

Answer: Yes, at first use, the Patio Heater Reflector
may emit a slight odor and smoke due to the burn-off
of oils used in the manufacturing process of this
aluminum part. This is to be expected.

• May be excessive winds. Position your patio
heater in a more protected area away from winds
of 10 mph or more, with proper clearances.

• Remove the Emitter Grid to clean the Pilot head
or you need a service call the Customer Service
Helpline 8am - 8pm CST, Monday throught Friday

at 1-888-317-7642.

• The Pilot Light Assembly or GM20 Gas Valve
may be broken in which case you need to order

the Heater Head Assembly. See the Parts List
on page 9.

Question: The patio heater burner won’t light. Why?
Answer:

• The Pilot Burner is not lit.

• Low gas pressure. Be sure LP gas tank is filled.

• Manual valve not in "ON" position.

• The gas line may need to be purged. Follow
the Purging Instructions found under Lighting

Instructions on page 13, step 8.

Question: How should I clean my patio heater?
Answer; Keep the heater head and its components

clear of dirt cobwebs by brushing or wiping the areas
clean. Do not spray cleaners into the emitter grid
because of potential harm to internal components.

The stainless steel Post, Tank Cover, Base and Alumi
num Reflector can be cleaned with a stainless steel
spray cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use gasoline,
paint thinner or any other cleaning agent that can be
combustible or corrosive.

Question; I expected an 8 to 12 foot radius of warmth
from my patio heater but that seems to vary, sometimes
greater and sometimes vwth less coverage area. What
affects this radius?

Answer; Various weather conditions as well as the
placement of your patio heater can affect the radius.
Without winds and with temperatures above 40
degrees Fahrenheit you can warm a radius up to 12
feet. Higher winds and colder air will reduce the
warming radius.

Question: Sometimes the pilot will not light. What are
some possible causes of this?

Answer:

• May be air in the gas line or the Regulator
excess flow device may need to be reset.

Both are accomplished with one process.

Question: Where can I buy replacement parts?
Answer: For the repair or replacement parts you need

call anytime, day or night 1-800-4-MY-HOME ®
(1-800-469-4663). Use only Sears authorized parts.
The use of any part that is not Sears authorized can be
dangerous and will also void your product warranty.

Question; Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my regulator. What causes this?

Answer: This is not to be confused with the "hissing"
sound associated with leaking gas. The humming noise
you may hear is the sound of gas flowing through the

Regulator. You may have heard a similar sound at the
gas meter at your home. Reasonable humming should
be expected and will not affect the performance of
your patio heater.
