Important Safety Information

WARNING: For outdoor use only. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, injury, or death. Read the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

• Always operate the heater in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Keep clear of combustible materials. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 feet from sides and 2 feet from top to any combustible surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Ensure the heater is on a firm, level surface to prevent tipping. The safety auto shut-off tilt valve will activate if the heater tips over.
• Always secure the patio heater when not in use to avoid potential damage or hazards.
• Keep children and pets away from the heater.
• Do not attempt to repair or alter the heater. Contact qualified service personnel for repairs.
• Use only Propane (LPG) gas. An LPG tank is required and not included.

Assembly Instructions

Assembly is required for this patio heater. While it can be assembled by one person, two people may find the process easier due to the size and weight of components.

1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list (not provided in this document, refer to product packaging for full list).
2. Assemble the base and secure the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly allows for easy mobility of the heater.

3. Attach the main support pole to the base.
4. Install the burner assembly and connect the gas hose. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Mount the reflector shield to the top of the burner assembly.
6. Place the LPG tank inside the base compartment and secure it using the provided chain.
7. Fill the waterbox (if applicable) in the base for added stability and weight.

Note: Consider the width of your door if assembling indoors, as the top reflector is wide and may require careful maneuvering.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to safely operate your patio heater:

1. Ensure the LPG tank valve is fully open.
2. Press and hold the control knob, then turn it to the "Pilot" position.
