This document describes the Argo Diana Carbon Fiber Patio Heater, an outdoor heating appliance designed for efficient and safe use in various external environments.

Function Description:

The Argo Diana is a carbon fiber patio heater intended for outdoor use, providing warmth through its heating elements. It is designed to operate as a standalone heating unit. The appliance features an on/off switch for simple operation. Its primary function is to emit heat for comfort in outdoor settings.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Power Supply: 220-240V~/50Hz.
  • Protection Rating: IP55, indicating it is ideal for external use and resistant to water. However, it should not be used in raining or wet conditions.
  • Heating Technology: Carbon fiber, known for efficient heat generation.
  • Minimum Installation Distances:
    • 25 cm from side walls.
    • 50 cm from the ceiling.
    • 1 meter from the wall.
    • At least 2 meters from combustible materials and glass walls.
    • At least 4 meters from sources of hazard in workshops or garages where flammable materials are present.

Usage Features:

  • Outdoor Use Only: This heater is specifically designed for outdoor environments.
  • Manual Operation: The unit is controlled via a simple on/off switch.
  • Adjustable Angle: The heating head's angle can be adjusted by loosening two screws, setting it to the desired position, and then refastening the screws.
  • Assembly Required: The heater comes disassembled and requires assembly of its various tubes, stand, lamp plate, and base. The handle also needs to be attached.
  • Stability: The base is secured to a stable surface using fixing plates to ensure the unit remains upright.
  • Safety Precautions:
    • Always ensure the power supply matches the appliance's requirements.
    • Keep flammable materials at least 1 meter away from the front, sides, and back of the appliance.
    • Do not cover the heater to prevent overheating; a warning symbol indicates this.
    • Avoid using the heater in dusty environments or where flammable vapors are present.
    • Do not place anything on the product, especially wet garments.
    • Use in a well-ventilated area.
    • Do not block grilles or tamper with them.
    • Do not use if the power cord or plug is damaged; contact a qualified person for replacement.
    • Do not use if the heater has fallen or been damaged; contact a service center.
    • Do not use with external switching devices (e.g., timers) or automatic controllers to avoid accidental thermal protection resets and fire risk.
    • Do not operate near bathtubs, showers, washbasins, or pools.
    • Do not position directly beneath a power socket.
    • A slight, harmless smell may be emitted during initial start-up due to the heating elements; this is normal and should not recur.
    • Always unplug the appliance during maintenance, when moving it, or when not in use.
    • Do not use in potentially dangerous areas with risk of fire, explosion, or excessive humidity.
    • Do not use on soft surfaces where grilles might get covered.
    • Always place on a flat, stable surface to prevent overturning.
    • Turn off if unattended.
    • In case of anomalies (abnormal noise, strange smell), turn off immediately and contact a service center; do not attempt repairs.
    • Extension cords are not recommended due to overheating and fire hazards; never use one for multiple appliances.
    • Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or any part of the appliance in water or other liquids.
    • Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
    • Do not place near other heat sources.

Maintenance Features:

  • Disconnection for Maintenance: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
  • Cleaning Outside Surface:
    • Use a soft cloth to remove dust.
    • For excessive dirt, use a soft cloth dampened with water and neutral detergent (below 50°C).
    • Allow the heater to dry completely before reuse.
    • Do not use corrosive detergents, solvents (like petrol), oils, chemical substances, or abrasive products.
    • Do not wash with water.
  • Cleaning Grilles: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet/outlet grilles.
  • Overheating Prevention: The most common cause of overheating is dust build-up. Regularly clean accumulated dust from the grilles using a vacuum cleaner after unplugging.
  • Cord Care: Do not place objects on the power cable and avoid bending it.
  • Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use, store the appliance in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, along with the manual.
  • Disposal: At the end of its useful life, the appliance must be disposed of separately from household waste, in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU. Consumers play a crucial role in reuse and recycling. The product should be delivered to a local waste disposal facility or returned to the dealer when purchasing a new equivalent appliance. Large retailers offer free take-back for small WEEE products (external dimensions ≤ 25 cm) even without a new purchase. Sorted disposal prevents negative environmental and health consequences and allows for material recovery and recycling. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates this requirement.
