 Find a location a good distance away from flammable
materials: keep a free space of at least 100 cm on top and
100 cm at the sides.
 Place the patio heater on a sturdy, stable, flat and
horizontal surface.
 Optionally anchor the patio heater with e.g. tent pegs to
protect it from strong winds. For this purpose, attachment
points can be mounted to the base of the patio heater
(supplied). Tent pegs are not supplied, but must be
adapted to the ground conditions.
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 hose must be 150 cm long, be suitable for
propane/butane, and must comply with national regulations
and be fitted with a screw coupling.
 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. To prevent
damage during transport or due to excess pressures, wear etc., a full leakage test must always be
carried out during installation, after exchanging the gas cylinder and after storage. All leakage checks
must be carried out with a soap solution, never with fire! Do not smoke while carrying out the
checks. In the case of a gas leak (watch out for the odour!), immediately shut off the gas cylinder valve
and remove the appliance a good distance from other heat sources.
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.
 Make sure that there are no flames or sparks in the vicinity when you are carrying out the leak test
and do not smoke!
 If the gas hose signs of cracks, tears or other damage exhibits, it must be replaced by a new pipe or a
hose of the same length and equivalent quality. Replace it at least every 3 years. To do this, use
open-ended spanner no. 17: you need 2 on the burner side. After exchanging, perform a gas leakage
check.
