2.2 Unpacking the appliance.
The carton box will contain the following parts:
1 patio heater PH-4 or PH-8.
1 set of 3 brackets or
1 set containing: chains, S-shaped hooks and 4 hooks with cable straps
1 manual
(optional) gas hose
(optional) gas regulator
Please check the appliance on transportation damage, etc. Before leaving the factory, all the appliances are tested by the manufacturer
on gas for 5 minutes. Therefore, the burners of the appliance will be a little bit discoloured. Check also if the size of brackets is identical
to the rib size of your parasol. The package of the brackets is marked with the dimension of the rib size (width x height). It can be useful
to order extra sets of brackets when you have more parasols. This makes you flexible in selecting which parasol on the terrace will be
the best for heating at that specific moment.
2.3 Working principle of the appliance.
This patio heater gives heat by Infrared radiation. Infrared heating is the only heating principle for an efficient heating comfort in outdoor
situations. It is comparable with sitting in the sun on an early spring day: the air temperature is still low but the radiation of the sun
makes it nice and comfortable.
2.4 Safety in general
This patio heater fully complies with the European Gas Safety requirements. We are proud to say that during prototype testing by an
independent test house, according the European Standards, the emission of safety relevant gases was less than 10% of the maximum
allowable emission.
2.5 Weather conditions
The appliance is made of strong and durable materials. Rain or moisture shall not directly shorten lifetime of the appliance (as long as
the burner stones remain dry) but of course it is better to protect the appliance from these influences. The appliance will not efficiently
work with strong winds. The wind will make ignition difficult or cools down the safety device, which will cut off the gas supply to the
burner. We advice not to use the appliance by wind speeds above 3 m/s (3 Beaufort).
