Safety Guide
A strong gas smell or hissing sound of escaping gas indicates a serious problem with the
Patio Heater or LPG cylinder. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious injury, death or property damage.
•
Shut off gas supply at cylinder
•
Turn the control knob of the Patio Heater to the off position
•
Extinguish any open flame
•
Get away from the LPG cylinder
•
Do not try and fix the problem yourself
•
If gas odour continues or you cannot extinguish fire, call fire brigade.
To prevent fire and smoke damage, remove all packaging material before operating
Patio Heater.
HOSE ASSEMBLY AND SAFETY
A leak test
(Procedure located on Page 2 of this manual)
must be carried out prior to using
the Patio Heater for the first time and each time the gas cylinder is refilled, or each time
the gas hose and gas regulator have been disconnected. Check all gas hose and line
connections for damage, cuts or cracks each time you use the Patio Heater.
If the hose shows signs of deterioration or damage, complete a leak test to identify any
leaks and if required replace the hose.
The hose must remain free of kinks and sharp bends. Never puncture or put stress on
the hose or fittings. Hose connection is located at the lower front area on the right side
wall of the main body of the Patio Heater.
Replacement hose and regulators can be purchased from your local BBQ retail
specialist. Leak Test procedure is located on Page 2 of this manual.
BURNERS
The location of the tube burner to the jet is vital for safe operation. Check to assure the
jet is inside the burner tube before using the gas Patio Heater
SPIDER AND INSECT WEBS
Some times spiders, ants and other insects
climb into the tube burners, gas lines and
other areas of the Patio Heater. The insects
can spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The
webs or nests can be very small, but they are
very strong and can block the flow of gas.
NOTE: Complications arising from spider and insect webs built up inside gas
lines are expressly excluded from Warranty
To avoid this occurring, clean burners prior to use, after storing, at the beginning of
your Patio Heater season or after a period of one month with out use. Guards are on
the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it. An
obstruction can result in a
“flashback” (a fire in the burner tubes). The burner may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.
