This heater should be installed by a competent person, i.e. a qualified electrician.
Always disconnected the heater from the electrical supply and allow it to cool before installation.

Installing the heater (Fig. A, C)
Always mount the device with the supplied accessories.

Before starting the installation, take the following into consideration:

• Place the device on a firm, level ceiling surface; installation of the heater should be on a strong rigid support (such as strong wooden beams or metal rails etc).
• The device must be hung so that there is 50 cm of free space between the heater and any ceiling, tent canvas etc. There must also be at least 1.80 m between the ground and the underside of the device. Refer to Fig. C. The device can never be hung on a hook in the wall as it could hang at a slant!
• The Hook used to hang the heater must be able to take a weight 3 or 4 times that of the heater itself.
• Ensure that the power supply cable is well mounted and that it does not come into contact with reflector of the heater or that does not trail into heated area.
• Do not install the heater on an inflammable surface.
• If the heater is to be used outside, a weatherproof outlet is highly recommended.
• Before drilling ensure that there are no wires or water pipes in the area where the heater is to be installed.

To install the heater, follow these steps:

• The device is supplied with a hanging chain (1) and two carbine hooks (4). Put a carbine hook (4) on both ends of the chain (1).

• Mount one side of the chain onto the hanging hook (3) using the carbine hook (4), as shown on fig. A.

• Provide an attachment point from which the device can hang down freely and that is sturdy enough to hold the heater without any problems.
  Fix it firmly in such a way that it cannot drop, slip, slide or otherwise move.

• Attach the unused carbine hook (4) on the heater chain onto the provided ceiling hook or ceiling hanging eye.

• Take into account the minimum distances as shown on figure C.

• Plug the patio heater into a grounded power outlet. Check beforehand if the voltage rating matches the device.

• Check that the carabiners close properly and that the device hangs immovably. It must not be able to slide, drop, slide or the like! Only operate the heater when it is in the upright position.

Assembling the remote control (Fig. B)

• Flip the remote control (8) to the backside and remove the battery cover.
• Insert 2 AAA/ Alkaline type batteries into the remote control (8) in accordance with the instructions and polarity of the batteries..
• Change the batteries in the same way depicted above.

OPERATION

Switching on/off (Fig. A, B)
The heater can be turned on and off using the re-mote control (8) only. Before use, the power switch (5) on the heater must first be turned on. Without a remote control, the heater cannot be operated. If you do not have the remote control in your posses-sion, please contact Vonroc customer service.

• First turn the switch (5) on the heater to the ‘ON’ position.
• Press the button (9) on the remote control (8) to turn the heater on.

• Press the switch (5) on the heater to the ‘OFF’ position to power off.

Note: Make sure to point the remote control (8) in the direction of the remote control receiver (10). All VONROC heaters and their remote controls use the same frequency, so it is possible to control several heaters with just one remote.

Adjusting the power level (Fig. A, B)
The heater power can be adjusted in two levels:

• Level 1 – 1000W (50% power) ‘L1’ on display (10)
• Level 2 – 2000W (100% power) ‘L2’ on display (10)

The desired level can be selected using the remote control. Press the heat level button (14) and after-wards use the up button (12) to increase the level and down (11) button to decrease the level.

Using the timer function (Fig. A, B)
The heater is equipped with a timer function, ena-bling the heater to remain on for a selected amount of time. The selectable range is between 0 and 24 hours and will be shown on the display (10).

For example, when selecting 3 hours on the timer, the heater will remain on for 3 hours and then will automatically turn off.
To use the timer, press the heat level button (13) and afterwards set the timer using the up button (12) and down (11) button.
