3. Proper clearance from combustible materials
must be maintained at all times. Minimum
clearances are as follows;
Sides 24" Top 18"
Below Reflector Head 85"
Combustible materials include wood, compressed
paper, plant fibers, plastic, plexiglás or other
materials capable of being ignited and burned.
Such materials shall be considered combustible
even though flameproof, fire-retardant treated or
plastered. Additional clearance may be required
for glass, painted surfaces and other materials
which may be damaged by radiant or
convection heat.
4. Patio heater must be placed on a level surface.
5. The Gas Manifold supply pressure must be
regulated at 11" water column utilizing a UL
listed regulator. Any replacement regulator must
be UL listed. The minimum inlet pressure to the
regulator from the tank is 10 psi and maximum
pressure is 150 psi.
6. The patio heater must be inspected before each
use, and annually by a qualified service person.
• All gas connections should be checked for leaks
utilizing a soap solution. Never use a flame for
this purpose.
• The flame pattern can be observed through
the perforated emitter grid on the heater
head assembly and should be visually
checked whenever the patio heater is
operated (see Fig. 1). If flames extend
more than 2 inches in height or 1/2 inch
outside the surface of the Emitter Grid or
black soot is accumulating on the Emitter
Grid or Reflector, the heater should be
turned off immediately. The heater should
not be operated again until repairs are
made.

• The heater head and its components must
be kept clear of dirt and cobwebs. Flow
of combustion and ventilation air through
the perforated portions of the heater must
not be obstructed.
• Clean patio heater only with noncombustible,
noncorrosive cleaning agents.
• The stainless steel Emitter Grid should be
kept free of debris. Never spray cleaners
into the Emitter Grid because of potential
harm to internal components. NEVER paint
the Emitter Grid or Reflector.
The Regulator Hose must be protected from
contact with hot or sharp surfaces both
during use and while in storage. Position the
hose so it does not rub against the LP gas
Tank Cover which will be raised and lowered
frequently. The hose assembly must be
visually inspected prior to each use of the
patio heater. If excessive abrasion or wear
is evident, or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to operation. DO NOT use a
Regulator or Hose Assembly other than the
one supplied with the patio heater. The
replacement Hose and Regulator Assembly
may be obtained from your Sears Service
Center or call 1-800-4-IVIY-HOME®
(1-800-469-4663) .
A warning
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates a serious problem with your
patio heater or the LP gas tank. Failure to
immediately follow the steps listed below
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
• Shut off gas supply to the patio heater.
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank because
your telephone is an electrical device and
could create a spark resulting in fire
and/or explosion.
The patio heater area must be kept clear
and free of combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
