SERVICE & REPAIR
A hazardous condition may result if a heater is used that
has been modified or is not functioning properly.
When the heater is working properly:
• The flame is contained within the heater.
• The flame is essentially blue with perhaps some
yellow tipping.
• There is no strong disagreeable odor, eye burning or
other physical discomfort.
• There is no smoke or soot internal or external to the
heater.
• There are no unplanned or unexplained shut downs
of the heater.
• The parts lists and wiring diagram show the heater
as it was constructed. Do not use a heater which is
different from that shown. In this regard, use only
the hose, regulator and cylinder connection fitting
(called a POL fitting) supplied with the heater.
• (3) of the four lights on the side of the heater should be
illuminated ( Heat, Power, Fan Running) per Figure 2.
For this heater, the regulator must be set as shown in
"SPECIFICATIONS". If there is any uncertainty about the
regulator setting, have it checked. A heater which is not
working right must be repaired, but only by a trained,
experienced service person. The heater is equipped with
a 1 year Limited Warranty, for full warranty information
please read page 20. Please include a brief statement
indicating date, place of purchase, the nature of the
problem and proof of purchase for warranty inquiries.
Out-of-warrranty products can be repaired with a charge
for parts and labor. Contact customer service for a list of
certified repair centers near you.
