DESCRIPTION of PATIO-HEATERS
SIABS patio-heaters are designed and built with attention to detail, a lot of attention to
reliability and giving importance to design: they have a reflecting steel structure, panels of
bottle compartment can be customized with different colors, safety grids on all sides, high
efficiency and long life, burner made in metallic fiber, heating element with flame and safety
glass (model
K
ALIENTE), adjustable feet.
Installation is easy and in no time the heaters are ready for operation: you just have to place
and connect the gas cylinder after removing the front panel (with slot).
All heaters are controlled and calibrated to the correct pressure values (depending on the type
of gas and the country of destination), and then tested in the company by SIABS personal. On
each heater you will find a technical data plate (see page 6 of this manual), according to
norms, to which the installer has to refer for any future action.
SIABS patio-heaters are certified and approved for use with natural gas or LPG; the burner has
been subjected to strict tests (with gas operating limits) in the laboratories of our approval
authority KIWA Gastec – Italy
.
GET READY TO WORKING – SUGGESTIONS
Below you will find
IMPORTANT
suggestions:
SIABS patio-heaters can be supplied:
-
fully pre-assembled:
you have only to provide the gas bottle and the pressure
reduction kit (flexible pipe + pressure reducer, different from country to country)
-
to be assembled on site:
burner is fully mounted and tested in our factory,
all other components are easy to be assembled, following specific instruction
pay particular attention
during unloading and all handling operations
of the heater
due to the fragility of the glass tube (model
K
ALIENTE)
open the carton in a horizontal position on a stable surface or on the floor, then lifting
the product with the help of a second person (weight approx. 45 kg)
cut the clamp that fixes the glass tube
(model
K
ALIENTE) before start-up
verify that the feed pipe and the gas coupling installed are in compliance with the
regulations in force in the country of use
in case of gas smell while patio-heater is running,
switch off it immediately and
verify any gas leaks before using it again
: you can use soapy water or equivalent
when replacing the LPG gas bottle, you can use soapy water or equivalent to check
connections and fittings for leaks
IMPORTANT:
at the first ignition is likely to happen a delay in turning the pilot flame;
the situation is normal, and due to the fact that the circuit has gas inside air to be
disposed of; the inconvenience will disappear with two or three ignitions. To avoid any
darting flames, let about 2 minutes between each ignition procedure and the next. This
situation could be repeated when replacing a gas bottle: proceed as above.
