Patio Comfort

 

Outdoor Patio Heater product is already assembled, tested, and 

pre-fired for your safety and convenience.  We have shipped the heater head inside the pre-assembled 
lower base to protect the heater head in shipment and to simplify assembly.  

 

1.  Open the carton and remove the top packing, the decorative tank cover and parts boxes. 
2.  Lay the carton on its side to more easily pull the unit out and stand it upright. Fig #1 and 2. 
3.  Lift up the foam pad and remove it over the tank cage.  
4.  Remove the head carton from the tank cage and set it aside for now.
