AZ Patio Heaters 49" W Rectangle Aluminum Propane Fire Pit

Check for gas leaks: Before and after each use, inspect the propane tank, hose, and connections for any signs of gas leaks. You can use soapy water to check for leaks: apply the solution to the hose and connections, then open the valve and look for bubbles.

Ensure proper ventilation and regulator function: Never use a patio heater in an enclosed space. Make sure there’s enough ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. Ensure the regulator is functioning correctly and that it’s connected tightly to both the heater and the propane tank before use.

Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the heater with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and grime. For any stains or grease, use a mild detergent or a special stainless-steel cleaner (if your heater is made from stainless steel). Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

Burner and Reflector Cleaning: The burner and reflector (if included with this heater) should be cleaned periodically to maintain optimal performance. For the burner, use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away any dirt or dust from the burner. The reflector may accumulate soot and other debris, which can reduce heat output. Clean it gently with a soft cloth or sponge. For more thorough cleaning, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Look for any signs of rust or damage. If the tank is old or damaged, it should be replaced. When the heater is not in use, store the propane tank in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Tank Replacement: If your propane tank is running low or you’ve had it for a while, replace it with a new one.

Valve Check: Make sure to check the regulator valve to ensure it’s functioning properly.
