15 Owner’s manual: model 82300C portable outdoor heater
Maintenance
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure
you perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
Inspect the visible portion of the hose before each use of the appliance.
Inspect the entire hose assembly at least annually.
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.
Heater makes popping noises.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. 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.
Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive
cleaning agents.
While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner
and pilot assembly dry at all times. Do not submerge the control valve
assembly. If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use it. It
must be replaced.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Do NOT touch or move
heater for at least 45 minutes
after use.
• Dome is hot to the touch.
• Allow dome to cool before
touching.
TIP:
Use high-quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of
your heater. Apply to exterior surfaces from the pole down. Do not
apply to emitter screen or domes.
