Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Standards Australia formulates standards and codes for
such products, to which SITRO Group Australia (SGA)
complies in the manufacture of all heaters, so as to provide
a product of premium quality and of a high safety standard.
SGA will void any warranty applicable to the product if any
component of the patio heater is tampered with, or altered.
To have these units altered or serviced by an unauthorised
person may render the product inefficient, and at worst
dangerous.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Appliances should be serviced at least annually and
servicing must only be carried out by a Licensed Plumber or
Authorised Person.
1. Remove Emitter Grid from Burner Housing. To remove
Burner loosen the holding screw located at base of
Burner tube through opening in gas control housing then
turn Burner anticlockwise and pull free.
2. Clean the Burner Ports and top with a Soft Brush.
Inspect and clean all combustion air inlets, then replace
the Burner ensuring it is firmly secured.
3. Clean pilot head, thermocouple tip and spark igniter
using a soft wire brush.
4. Check operation of the pilot, igniter and the
thermocouple. Should new parts be required contact the
Supplier or Sitro Group Australia.
INSTALLATION
Natural Gas Heaters must be installed by an Authorised
Person.
Heaters can be floor mounted or suspended overhead on
brackets.
Floor mounted heaters must be permanently fixed on a level
and adequate footing.
Brackets for suspended installation must be permanently
fixed to a solid structure.
Positioning of both floor mounted and suspended heaters
must maintain required clearances.
i.e. 500mm above, 500mm on all sides and 1970mm below
the heater emitter mesh.
It is a Standards Australia requirement that an approved
metal tube such as copper or galvanized steel or an AGA
certified stainless steel braided hose assembly be utilised to
convey gas to the burner head, and must be installed by an
authorised person, i.e. licensed plumber.
A Natural Gas Patio Heater is not designed for relocation
to varying locations, so the most preferable permanent
location should be selected prior to installation.
CARE
We strongly recommend the use of a patio heater cover to
protect your patio heater when not in use.
All patio heaters must have the burner head covered when
not in use. This will prevent blockages occurring, which
may lead to the patio heater not igniting when required
for use on the next occasion, or causing the burner not to
function efficiently.
Such blockages can be caused by the accumulation of dust
on various components in the burner head and by spider
webs. Covering the burner head will also assist in reducing
the weathering effects of the outdoors, as well as corrosion
