The LP tank used with your patio heater must meet the following requirements:
Purchase LP tanks only with these required measurements: (31.8cm) (diameter) x 58cm) (tall) with 15kg capacity maximum.
In case of violent wind particular attention must be taken against tilting of the appliance. Keep the appliance at least 1m from the gas cylinder.
The injector must be installed by the manufacturer only. Do not connect the gas cylinder directly to the appliance without regulator. Use only the type of gas and the type of cylinder specified in the instructions.
A regulator (which complies with EN16129:2013 is needed) of the correct pressure corresponding to the appliance category.
Use 30mbar regulator for butane/propane under the category I3B/P(30).
Use 30mbar regulator for butane at 28-30mba under the category I3+ (28-30/37).
Use 37mbar regulator for propane at 37mbar under the category I3+ (28-30/37).
Use 50mbar regulator for butane/propane under the category I3B/P(50).
It’s recommended to use flexible hose that is approved under EN16436:2014. Caution Please read carefully the following safety guidelines before operation.
Do not use the patio heater for indoors, as it may cause personal injury or property damage.
This outdoor heater is not intended to be installed on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.
Improper installation, adjustment or alteration can cause personal injury or property damage.
Do not attempt to alter the unit in any manner.
