Special safety instructions

The patio heater must only be used outdoors and in well-ventilated areas! In a well-ventilated area, there is at least 25% of the wall area open.

The patio heater must not be exposed to precipitation and must be protected from the elements during use and storage.
The patio heater should be placed on a firm, level surface before being lit.
This surface must be non-flammable, e.g.
flagstones, paving stones or packed earth.
There must be no combustible materials such as grass, plants or rubbish under or near to the patio heater.
Keep the patio heater at a safe distance from combustible materials during use.
There must be at least 100 cm from the patio heater to the nearest combustible materials or surfaces, including walls and ceilings.

NOTE: Parts of the patio heater become very hot when in use. Keep children at a safe distance from the patio heater. Do not move the patio heater whilst it is lit or hot. Never use it indoors.
WARNING! Keep children and pets at a safe distance from the patio heater.

Position the gas hose so that it does not come into contact with hot parts of the patio heater and keep it straight.
Only use gas hoses approved by the relevant national authorities. The gas hose must be a maximum of 150 cm long and must be fitted with an approved regulator.
Check regularly that the gas hose is not split or crumbling and replace if necessary.
The gas bottle must be changed outside at a safe distance from naked flames and other sources of ignition.
If you discover a leak, turn off the gas supply at the regulator immediately and avoid naked flames and other sources of ignition.
Wait a few minutes until the area has aired.
Carry out a leak test when you connect a new gas bottle or if the patio heater has not been used for a prolonged period. Do not carry out the leak test using a naked flame! See ‘Leak test’.
Turn off the gas supply using the regulator after use.
Do not attempt to modify the patio heater, including the regulator and the burner. Do not try to open parts that have been sealed at the factory.
Do not paint or decorate the patio heater.
The ventilation slots on the patio heater must not be blocked.
Bolt the patio heater to the ground if there is any danger of it toppling.
Do not expose the glass tube to water or other liquids when it is hot!

11. Insert the gas bottle in the space on the patio heater and place the regulator on it.

12. The patio heater is now ready for use.

Use

1. Open the regulator on the gas cylinder.

2. Turn the control knob anticlockwise to PILOT position. Press and hold the control knob for around 30 seconds so the gas reaches the pilot and burner.

3. Press the IGNITER button several times while you continue to hold the control knob in.

4. If the pilot does not light, repeat stages 2 and 3. If the patio heater has not been used for a prolonged period, or if the gas bottle has been changed, it may be necessary to hold the control knob in for up to 60 seconds at a time to remove air from the system.

5. Once the pilot is lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 30 seconds before continuing. Turn the control knob to HI (maximum heat output) so that the pilot lights the burner, and allow the patio heater to heat up for 5 minutes.

6. Turn the control knob to a position between LO and HI to set the patio heater to the required heat output.

7. To turn off the patio heater, turn the control knob to PILOT, press it in and turn to the OFF position. The pilot and burner will go out.

8. Close the regulator on the gas bottle.

9. If you turn the patio heater off, leave it for at least 5 minutes before turning it on again.

Cleaning

The outside of the patio heater can be wiped down using a well-wrung cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents.

Cleaning the burner

The hole in the burner can get blocked by insects that build nests in it, and so it should be cleaned regularly if it is impossible to turn it on and all other measures have failed.
Close the regulator and detach it from the gas bottle.
Remove the protective guard and carefully lift the glass tube off.
Clean the burner with a soft brush or compressed air.

Clean the main nozzle and pilot nozzle with a pipe cleaner or a piece of thin steel wire.
Replace the glass tube and protective guard.
Check regularly that there are no cracks in the glass tube. Check for other signs of damage.

Storage

The patio heater may only be stored indoors if the gas bottle has been disconnected and removed from the heater. Store the patio heater in a dry location sheltered from the wind and rain.

Leak test

Mix up 25 ml of washing-up liquid and 75 ml of water.
Check that the regulator is closed. Place the regulator on the gas bottle and open it.
Brush the hose and all the connections with the soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, there is a leak which must be dealt with before you can use the patio heater.
Deal with the problem and carry out a new leak test.
If you cannot deal with the problem, the patio heater must not be used! Close the regulator after the leak test.
