The gas patio heater is intended exclusively for outdoor use. It is not suitable for use in enclosed spaces or poorly ventilated areas – risk of suffocation and carbon monoxide poisoning. Before each use, check that all components are in safe and proper working order, especially the gas connections, hose, pressure regulator, burner, ignition, stand, and tilt protection (if present). Connection to the gas cylinder must only be made according to the installation instructions and using approved components. Check for the smell of gas before lighting and during operation; if you smell gas, immediately shut off the gas supply, avoid open flames, and discontinue use of the appliance. Place the patio heater only on a level, stable, and fireproof surface and maintain sufficient distance from flammable materials, especially above and to the sides. During operation, the appliance and protective grille become very hot – risk of burns. Do not touch hot surfaces and do not cover the patio heater or operate it near objects that could melt or burn. Never leave the patio heater unattended and always shut off the gas supply completely after use. Allow the device to cool completely before transport, cleaning, or storage. Children must not operate the heater and should only be near it under supervision. If the device is damaged, leaking, unstable, or malfunctioning, discontinue use and have it inspected immediately.
