Turning the Heater Off
□ The emitter screen will become bright red due to
intense heat. The color is more visible at night.
□ The burner will display a blue flame. These flames
should not be yellow or produce thick black smoke,
indicating an obstruction of airflow through the
burners.
□ If yellow flame is detected, turn off the heater and
gas supply and refer to the Troubleshooting
section.
□ Visually check burner flames at each use and make
sure the flame height matches illustration.
□ Rotate the gas control knob to the “OFF” position.
The burner will likely make a slight popping sound
when extinguished.
□ Disconnect the LP-gas tank after use.
□ Rotate the LP-gas tank to the horizontal position
and unscrew it counterclockwise until it is loose.
□ Store the LP-gas tank in a proper location.
□ Close the door on the housing assembly.
NOTE: After use, some discoloration of the
emitter screen is normal.
Care and Maintenance
□ Abrasive cleaners will damage this product.
□ Never use oven cleaner to clean any part of the heater.
□ Do not clean any heater part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
