STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
STORAGE :
During the season :
Control knob must be in OFF position•
Propane cylinder valve must be closed completely•
Patio heater must be upright and sheltered from any harsh weather conditions (i.e. strong winds, rain, heavy •
mist, snow, dust & debris)
During o season :
Control knob must be in OFF position•
Disconnect LPG cylinder and store in a well ventilated OUTDOOR area where the temperature will not ex-•
ceed 125 degrees F.
Appliance should be upright and sheltered from outside weather conditions (i.e. rain, snow, hail, winds, dust, •
debris).
It is recommended that the ‘’head components’’ be wrapped or covered to protect against debris, dust and •
insects clogging air and gas passageways. Suggestion : use a poly trash can liner or polytarp material.
MAINTENANCE :
Outside metal surface – Clean with warm soapy water and soft rags or paper towels. Do NOT use abrasive or •
corrosive cleaning agents. Be careful NOT to wet the burner or pilot ignition assemblies. Do NOT spray water
or cleaning agents directly onto head components as severe damage may result.
The aluminum reector hood MUST be cleaned frequently. Do NOT allow carbon deposits to build. This will •
cause a signicant re hazard. Use warm soapy water or a non-abrasive solution and soft rags or paper towels.
Obstruction of airow & gas passageways is the primary cause of problems. Check burner assembly, ventila-•
tion screen, control panel and intake lines before every use. Clean orices and small vents with a pipe cleaner. A can of compressed air is very eective for cleaning out small particles, insects, and spiders.
Possible signs of obstructed air and gas passageways :
Heat glow on head component is very UNEVEN1.
Smell of gas and extreme yellow tipping of ame2.
Heating output (BTU) is noticeably reduced3.
Crackling or popping noises coming from heating components4.
NOTE : Locations near the ocean or saltwater will require more maintenance and frequent checking of components.
