Although the patio heater is water-resistant, avoid use during rain.
Clean the exterior of the halogen head with a dry cloth when the power cable is connected. Never
use corrosive cleaner or solvents. Never immerse the heater head in water.
Maintenance and repairs, including the replacement of the halogen lamp, must be carried out by a
qualified person.
Your device has a 2-year warranty.
Improper use of the device or modifications thereto shall void the warranty.
Care and Protection of Stainless Steel
The main component of your patio heater is stainless steel. All stainless steel grades require a level of care
and protection to retain their appearance.
Stainless steel is not immune to corrosion and neither is it maintenance-free, contrary to popular public
perception.
Even the highest marine grades of stainless steel require frequent cleaning with fresh water to avoid oxidation
and other corrosive issues
Stainless steel is not a maintenance-free material.
It is therefore advisable to use a protective cover when the patio heater is not in use.
However, it is vital to understand that unless the heater is cool, clean and dry when the cover is fitted, use of
a cover can in fact be detrimental. A cover placed on a warm, wet or unclean device (or any combination of
these factors) can in fact be a very effective corrosion breeder!
For this reason, the heater should always be cool, cleaned and thoroughly dry before a protective cover is
fitted. This is especially important before storage for any length of time.
In order to maintain the quality of the stainless steel finish, it is important to be vigilant with care and
maintenance.
Use warm soapy water and a steel wool sponge with soap, taking care not to scratch the surface in the
stained areas.
Never use an abrasive cleaner on your patio heater.
All alterations and modifications made to the device by the user without the authorisation of the manufacturer
or its authorised representative are strictly prohibited and may be extremely dangerous. Such alterations or
modifications shall result in the immediate suspension of the warranty.
