Regularly inspect the heater for gas leaks, clean the glass and burner, check the ignition system, and ensure the venting system is unobstructed. An annual professional service is recommended.
To adjust the flame height, use the control knob to set the burner to a higher or lower setting. Ensure the heater is properly vented to avoid any flame irregularities.
