12 foot circle of sun like radiant heat. Heat output
will vary based on “wind chill” factor, outside air
temperatures, humidity, altitude, prevailing wind
conditions, and location of heater.

Function of Heater
Infrared heaters utilize virtually 100% of the
fuel/energy they consume to produce clean draft-
free warmth. Infrared heaters do not waste precious
energy by trying to heat the air. Infrared heat works
like the radiant rays of the sun and will directly heat
objects near them such as people, tables, chairs
who in turn will absorb the heat and reflect it. The
push button Piezo ignition system is used to light the
pilot flame first.
After the thermocouple device allows gas to flow to
the main burner head
you may then safely engage
the main burner
system by turning valve control
knob to “ON” Setting.
After the main burner is lit the burner will radiate
heat in a 360-degree circle. The circle of warmth
will vary dependent on outdoor temperatures, wind
chill factor, area protection, and other variables.
The average heating area is approximately a 10-foot
ring of warmth. The reflector will return upwardly
radiated heat downwards. Please allow heater to
burn a few minutes to burn off machining oils used
in the production of the heater.
Please note:
Upon first using the heater, not
using the heater for an extended period, or after
attaching a newly filled cylinder it might be
necessary to depress the control knob at the
“PILOT” setting up to two to three minutes to
purge the air in the fuel lines before the PILOT
flame will ignite. Please be patient, this is all
part of the safety system that has been designed
for your protection.
Assembly Tips
For your convenience and safety, the
Patio Comfort
outdoor patio heater has been almost completely
assembled. The burner head and valve assembly
have been fire tested for added safety.
Assemble all nuts and bolts loosely at first. Tighten
all connections after the completion of the assembly
process. This eases your work and increases the
overall stability of the appliance. Before using the
heater be sure to check all connections with a
solution of soap and water.
Never use a flame to check for leaks!
When starting the assembly please take all of the
parts out of the box and check if anything is missing.
Please check parts with the following parts
breakdown. Even though we exercise extreme
quality control procedures occasionally we will have
a missing part or a part may have been damaged in
transit. If anything is missing, please contact your
