To check for leaks:
Your patio heater has been checked at all factory connections for leaks, but you
should always check when you attach the LPG cylinder. To check for leaks, follow
these instructions:
--Assemble all gas connections.
--Connect regulator assembly to the propane tank.
--Make sure the heater valve is turned OFF.
1) Make soapy solution by mixing 1 part liquid dish soap and 3 parts water.
2) Open the propane tank valve.
3) Spoon several drops (or use squirt bottle) of the soapy solution onto the gas
hose /regulator and regulator/cylinder connection.
4) Inspect the connections and look for bubbles.
5) If no bubbles appear the connection is safe.
6) If bubbles appear, there is leakage. Close the propane tank valve, and
loosen and re-tighten this connection.
7) Check for leakage again.
8) If bubbles still appear, close the propane tank valve and contact your gas
supplier. If a leak is detected, DO NOT attempt to use the heater.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK ALL THREE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE LPG
CYLINDER AND GAS LINE.

B. Open the propane tank valve.
C. Spoon several drops (or use squirt bottle) of the soapy solution onto gas hose
connection and pilot connection.
D. Inspect the connections and look for bubbles.
E. If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe.
F. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the propane tank valve and loosen and
re-tighten this connection.
G. Check for leaks again.
H. If bubbles still appear, close the propane tank valve and call you gas
supplier. DO NOT attempt to use the heater.

When heater is ON:
Emitter screen will become bright red due to intense heat. The
color is more visible at night. Burner will display tongues of blue
flame. These flames should not be yellow or produce thick black
smoke, indicating an obstruction of airflow through the burners.
If the flame is very small, this indicates the supply pressure is not enough.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your
Heater, make sure you perform the following
maintenance on a regular basis:
1. Keep exterior surfaces clean. Use warm soapy water
for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents. While cleaning
your heater, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry
at all times. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to
use it--it must be replaced.
2. Keep the heater area free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids. Visually check burner flames.
Visually check the hose assembly inside the panels and check for cracks or worn
sections.
1) Unscrew gas hose and regulator hose with 3/4’’ inch open end wrench and
adjustable wrench.
2) Check if there are cracks or worn sections on hose. If yes, contact your gas
supplier to replace the hose.
3) At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders,
spider webs or other insects.
Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air
passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
1. Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
2. Heater does not reach the desired temperature
3. Heater glow is excessively uneven.
4. Heater makes uneven popping noise.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can
damage the 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
ALLOW HEATER TO
COMPLETELY COOL
BEFORE MOVING.

Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean dome and engine 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. If the heater is exposed to this type of
environment, you should frequently check for corroded areas and
repair them promptly
