STORAGE
The heater is constructed from materials to withstand normal weather conditions, however, it is
advised to store under cover for maximum preservation.
If there are problems of space, the reflecting hood (1) can be removed, and the nuts and washers
preserved with care (NB: they are all stainless steel). Remove the cylinder from its compartment.
Enclose the burner unit in a polythene bag and similarly wrap the side covers to discourage the
possibility of local wild life from setting up home.
RESTARTING AFTER STORAGE
Remove the Diffuser, by removing the four screws around the outer band, clean inside and out with
an ordinary cloth (DO NOT USE oily products that would produce fumes when the heater is next
switched on).
Remove any cobwebs and dust from the Burner, then reassemble the parts.
Check the rubber hose and if cracked or damaged in any way, replace it with a hose of approx.
40cm in length.
MAINTENANCE
There are no user serviceable parts for this heater. It is necessary only to keep the various components
clean, particularly the underside of the hood. DO NOT clean the heater when it is lit or only just
switched off. Wait until it has cooled down. Clean using a clean soft cloth.
CHECK annually that the hose connecting the regulator to the Delivery pipe is in good order: otherwise,
replace it. (see your Clarke dealer)
Any repairs should be made by trained technicians and with original replacement parts. For parts
and servicing, consult your CLARKE dealer.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
Propane gas is stored under pressure, and the filling process causes the cylinder to get warm. Taking
gas out of the cylinder reverses this process and the cylinder gets colder. When a cylinder is stored
outside, the cylinder temperature equalises with the ambient temperature.
In the summer, taking cold gas from a warmish cylinder is not so much a problem, but in winter, an
already cold cylinder gets even colder as gas is removed, and moisture from the warmer air condenses
on the cold surface of the cylinder, similar to condensation on a window. In the worst case, this
moisture may even begin to freeze on the outside of the regulator.
This also has an effect on the flow rate of the gas. It should be noted that the flow rate at -10
degrees C is only half that at 15 degrees C. The volume of gas, and hence the heat output, is
therefore similarly effected.
