MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Always disconnect the LP cylinder from the regulator assembly and remove the LP cylinder from the heater
before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason the heater is to be stored indoors, the heater MUST
be disconnected from the LP cylinder, and the cylinder stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area, out of the
reach of children, and in accordance with the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Gases, ANSI/
NFPA 58 - latest edition. The plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied with the LP cylinder must be rein-
stalled on the valve to protect the fitting from damage.
NOTE: Repair of this heater should be done by a qualified service person.
It is recommended that you save all of the packaging materials that came with our heater, and re-package
the heater using these materials for safe storage. Debris, dust and dirt inside of the heater body can affect
the performance of your heater. This debris can impair the heaters ability to draw air for ventilation and com-
bustion. Spiderwebs can also appear during periods of inactivity. Be sure to inspect the heater before each
use to look for any such obstructions. Be sure to keep the air passage-ways, burner and combustion areas
clean. Wipe with a damp cloth or use a vacuum cleaner to clean these areas. It is suggested that you per-
form a thorough cleaning at least once every 30 days of operation. You may need to clean the heater more
often if conditions are naturally dirty.
Clean the Ceramic Plaques using compressed air below 30 PSI to prevent damage to plaques.
A yellow tip of the pilot flame indicates that the burner area may be in need of cleaning.
NEVER STORE AN LP CYLINDER INSIDE OF A BUILDING, OR NEAR ANY OTHER GAS OR OIL
BURNING APPLIANCES.
ALWAYS BE SURE THAT THE HEATER HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 30
MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO STORE, SERVICE, OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution of dish soap and water. Apply this solution to all gas con-
nections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas supply, re-make the leaking
connection. If the leak persists after several tries, contact Mi-T-M Customer Service at 800-553-9053. The
installation of this heater must meet all local codes and/or gas utility requirements. In the absence of local
codes, the National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed. The minimum clearances to any combus-
tible construction materials must be maintained at all times (see clearance specifications in this manual).
CAUTION: ALWAYS KEEP THIS HEATER OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A FUEL
SOURCE.
WARNING: THIS HEATER IS NOT INTENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE.
