regular basis:
a. Keep exterior surfaces clean. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning
agents. Keep the area around the burner and control assembly dry at all times.
b. Keep airflow unobstructed. Clear insect nests or webs away from your heater’s exterior and interior.
c. Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean the dome and emitter with warm soapy water if required.
d. Check your heater for signs of damage or wear and replace components as necessary.
e. Periodically check the hose located within the confines of the cylinder housing for damage.
f. Keep the ventilation clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
g. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
h. Visually check the burner flame against the illustration below.
