AFTER OPERATING 
MAINTENANCE 
•  To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you 
perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis. 
•  Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air 
passageways clean. 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. 
•  Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This can cause the heater to 
make popping noises. 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 emitter 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. 
•  Keep exterior surfaces clean. 
STORAGE 
Between uses: 
•  Turn control knob to “OFF” position. 
•  Unscrew gas canister from regulator and store gas canister AWAY from heater 
when heater is not in use. 
•  Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement 
weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow) and debris. 
If desired, cover heater to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent build up in air 
passages. 
NOTE: Wait until heater is completely cooled before covering. 
During periods of extended inactivity or when transporting:
•  Turn control knob to “OFF” position. 
•  Unscrew gas canister from regulator and store gas canister AWAY from heater 
when heater is not in use. 
•  Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement 
weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow) and debris. 
If desired, cover heater to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent build up in air 
passages.

•  Gas control is in OFF position. 
•  Unscrew gas canister from regulator and store gas canister AWAY from heater when 
heater is not in use.
