Wipe off powder coated surfaces with soft, moist rag and soap water.
Remove debris, spider and insect nests from ventilation opening of the cylin-
der enclosure, control compartment, burner and circulation air passageways
of the heater with heavy duty pipe cleaner or compressed air to keep appli-
ance clean and safe for use.
Never clear ports or other openings with toothpic.ks or other article that will
break and block the ports.
If carbon deposits develop, remove the reflector and flame screen and clean
them with soap water.
Do not paint the flame screen, control panel or reflector.
Cover the burner unit with the optional supplied protective cover when the
heater is not in use. Wait until the heater is cool before covering.
In a salt-air environment, such as near an ocean, corrosion occurs more
quickly than normal. Check frequently for corroded areas and repair them
promptly.
Review these tips first and you may not need to call for service.
