Your patio heater is now assembled.
In order to conduct a comprehensive leak test: cover the entire
gas 'pathway' with the soapy solution and check for leaks. Pay
particular attention to connection points and risky areas!
Only when you are 100% sure that there are no gas leaks can you use the patio heater.
Please refer to chapter: Checking for leaks.

LOCATION AND INSTALLATION

 The patio heater is intended for outdoor use. Never use it in areas where this is a risk of explosion,
such as rooms where gas or other flammable substances are stored.
 Make sure, at all times, that there is sufficient air ventilation.
 Find a location a good distance away from flammable materials: keep a free space of at least 45 cm
on top and 60 cm at the sides.
 Place the patio heater on a sturdy, stable, flat and horizontal surface.
 In order to protect the patio heater in high winds, anchor it with pins into the ground or screw it into the
surface. The base of the patio heater has attachment points for this purpose. Pins/screws are not
supplied but must be suitable for the surface concerned.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

 Only use propane or butane gas.
 The maximum entry pressure on the gas regulator may not exceed 10 bar.
 A minimum supply pressure of 28 mbar is required.
 The gas regulator and hose must fulfil legal requirements.
 The installation must conform to legal guidelines for storage and use of liquid petroleum gases.
 A dented, rusted or damaged bottle of gas could be dangerous and must be checked by the gas
supplier. Never use a gas bottle that has a damaged valve.
 Never connect a gas tank that does not fulfil regulations to the patio heater!

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

The connections on the patio heater are checked for leaks in the factory before shipping. In order to
make sure damage has not occurred during transport or as a result of high pressure, another complete
leak test must be carried out during installation.
 Carry out the check with a full gas bottle.
 Set the control button to OFF.
 Make a soapy solution using one part liquid soap to one part water.
 Apply the soap solution to the whole system, particularly the connections, using a spray bottle, brush
or cloth.
 Open the gas supply. If there is a leak, you will see soap bubbles forming.
 If there is a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten the leaking component, switch on the gas supply and
check it again. If bubbles are still created, contact your supplier.
