Usage Features

Outdoor Use Only: The appliance is strictly for outdoor use in a well-ventilated area, defined as having a minimum of 30% of its surface area open. It should not be used indoors, in enclosed areas, or below ground level.
Heat Focusing Reflector: Designed to direct heat effectively, enhancing warmth in the surrounding area. The reflector should be in the full down position when not in use or during windy/rainy conditions.
Ignition System: Features a spark button for easy lighting. If the sparker fails, manual lighting with a match is possible through a designated gap.
Adjustable Flame: The control dial allows adjustment to high or low flame positions as required.
Safety Devices:
- Flame Failure Device: Automatically cuts off gas supply if the flame extinguishes.
- Tilt Device: Automatically cuts off gas supply if the unit is tipped over.
- Gas Leak Testing: Instructions are provided for annual leak testing and after any part replacement or cylinder removal, using a 50% water and 50% dish soap solution.
Gas Cylinder Storage: The LP-gas cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children, and disconnected with dust caps tightly installed. It should never be stored in a building, garage, or any enclosed area.
Hose and Regulator: The supplied pressure regulator and hose must be used, and any replacements must meet manufacturer specifications. An adjustable regulator should never be used with this appliance. The hose must be free from twisting, tension, cuts, cracks, or excessive wear.
Cylinder Positioning: The cylinder must be kept level and vertical when positioned inside the base and secured with the provided chain to ensure vapor withdrawal.
Pre-Operation Checks: Before each use, inspect the visible portion of the hose, ensure all control knobs are in the off position, and perform a leak test as necessary.
Windy Conditions: In windy conditions, the heater should be shielded from wind to ensure easy lighting and to maintain the flame.

Maintenance Features

Regular Cleaning: The patio heater should be cleaned regularly between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
Cooling Requirement: Ensure the heater is fully cooled before cleaning or storing. Never douse hot surfaces with water.
Annual Inspection/Service: The heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. Servicing is recommended after every 100 hours of use or annually, whichever comes first.
Part Replacement: Worn or damaged parts should be replaced immediately. Only genuine parts should be used.
Control Compartment Cleanliness: It is imperative to keep the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageways clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Ventilation Openings: Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
Reflector Care: The reflector can be removed for long-term storage to save space, but care must be taken not to damage or deform its shape, as this will affect performance. The heater should never be operated without the reflector in place.
Screw and Bolt Connections: All screws and bolts should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage Conditions: Do not leave the patio heater exposed to outside weather or stored in damp, moist conditions. If stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat or ignition sources.
Flame Characteristic Check: Visually check the flame pattern at the burner mesh during operation. A normal flame is blue with yellow at the top, and the burner mesh should be red hot. If flames extend beyond the mesh, or if there is flame lift, light back, or black spots, the heater should be turned off immediately and serviced.
