MAINTENANCE

The appliance should be inspected before initial use and inspected and cleaned at least annually by a qualified field service person.

Tampering is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Any component that is found to be faulty, must be replaced with an approved component.

To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the burner flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating. Check the burner flame patterns with the image.

Periodically remove the glass embers and examine the burner. If dirty, clean with a soft brush. Also examine the area around the burner air shutter. Any dirt or foreign material, such as spider webs or nests, in this area should be removed.

This will ensure long life and trouble free operation. When the appliance is put back in service, check the burner flame patterns with the image. Reinstall the glass embers as shown in the glass media installation.

Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder to ensure it is not damaged in any way.

During the winter months in cold weather climates, it is recommended to disconnect the Patioflame and store it in a cool dry place. Do not store the propane tank inside. For the remainder of the year, protect and cover your Patioflame from rain, freezing rain and snow.

HIGH ELEVATION INSTALLATION

This listed gas appliance is tested and approved for elevations from 0 to 4500 feet in Canada and the U.S.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet (in the U.S.), it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000 feet beyond the 4,500 feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

When installing this unit at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities. Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the proper orifice for your location.

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfides, particularly in coastal areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs. These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevention and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often as required with fresh water and/or stainless steel cleaner.

Cleaning The Stainless Steel Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on the stainless steel parts. Doing so will scratch the finish. Surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time, stainless steel parts discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discolouration is normal and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
