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.  On first use 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 re-attaching the 12-foot hose to the 
unit, it may be necessary to depress the 
control knob at the “PILOT” setting up to 
two minutes to purge the air in the hose and 
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 please be sure to check all connections 
with a solution of soap and water.  

More on this 

later in the instructions.  

Never use a flame to 

check for leaks!
