Setup and Assembly
The Landmann 12016ST Gas Patio Heater requires some assembly. Follow these general steps. Refer to the included assembly diagram for detailed instructions.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the parts list are present and undamaged.
- Assemble Base: Attach the wheels (if applicable) and any stabilizing feet to the base unit.
- Install Gas Cylinder Housing: Secure the gas cylinder housing to the base.
- Attach Main Pole: Connect the main support pole to the gas cylinder housing.
- Mount Burner Unit: Carefully attach the burner assembly to the top of the main pole.
- Install Reflector: Secure the aluminum heat reflector to the top of the burner unit.
- Connect Gas Hose and Regulator: Connect the provided BS hose and regulator to the heater's gas inlet and then to your gas cylinder. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Leak Test: Before first use, perform a leak test on all gas connections using a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak. Do not use the heater if a leak is detected.

Operating Instructions
- Gas Cylinder: Ensure a properly connected and full gas cylinder is installed in the base. Open the valve on the gas cylinder.
- Ignition: Turn the control knob to the "Pilot" position and push it in. Press the igniter button repeatedly until the pilot flame lights. Keep the knob pressed for 10-15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
- Main Burner: Once the pilot is lit, release the control knob and turn it to the desired heat setting (Low to High). The main burner should ignite.
- Adjust Heat: Use the adjustable heat control knob to regulate the heat output as needed.
- Shut Down: To turn off the heater, turn the control knob to the "OFF" position. Close the valve on the gas cylinder.
Note: If the heater fails to ignite, ensure the gas supply is open and repeat the ignition steps. If issues persist, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the heater is cool before cleaning.
- Reflector: Periodically wipe the aluminum reflector to maintain its efficiency.
- Gas Hose and Regulator: Inspect the gas hose and regulator regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the gas cylinder and store the heater in a dry, protected area. Using a protective cover is recommended.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not ignite. | No gas supply, clogged pilot, faulty igniter, air in gas line. | Check gas cylinder valve is open. Ensure cylinder is not empty. Bleed air from gas line by attempting ignition several times. Clean pilot opening. Check igniter spark. |
| Pilot light goes out after releasing knob. | Thermocouple not heated sufficiently, faulty thermocouple. | Hold control knob in for a longer period (15-20 seconds) after pilot lights. If problem persists, thermocouple may need replacement by a qualified technician. |
| Low heat output. | Low gas pressure, partially clogged burner, dirty reflector. | Check gas cylinder level. Ensure regulator is functioning correctly. Clean burner ports. Clean the aluminum reflector. |
| Gas smell detected. | Gas leak. | Immediately turn off gas supply at the cylinder. Perform a leak test with soapy water. Do not operate if a leak is found. Contact a qualified technician. |
| Assembly issues (e.g., threads jamming). | Misaligned parts, manufacturing defect. | Ensure parts are correctly aligned before tightening. Do not overtighten. If threads are damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts. |
