5FØRO PH13000  MANUAL EN

• The LP tank should be turned off when the heater is not in use. Check the heater immediately
if any of the following occurs:
• The heater does not reach temperature.
• The burner makes a popping noise during use (a slight noise is normal when the
burner is extinguished).
• Smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flames.
• The gas regulator/hose assembly must be located out of pathways where people may trip
over it or in areas where the hose will not be subject to accidental damage.
• Any guard or other protective device removed when servicing the heater must be replaced
before operating the heater. Adults and children should stay away from high temperature
surfaces to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the heater.
• Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung on the heater or placed on or
near the heater.
• The gas cylinder should only be changed in a ventilated area, away from sources of ignition
(candles, cigarettes, and other flame producing appliances)
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes of the cylinder housing
• Switch off the gas tap after use when using red propane cylinders.
• Switch off the regulator after use when using green propane cylinders.
• In the event of gas leak, the appliance shall not be used or if alight, the gas regulator should
be turned off immediately and the appliance should be inspected thoroughly before it is
used again.
• Inspect the gas hose before every use. If it shows signs of cracking, splitting or other
deterioration it should be replaced with new hose of the same length and of the equivalent
quality.
• The use of this appliance in enclosed areas can be dangerous and is PROHIBITED.
• For connection of hose and regulator, and connection of regulator and hose, please refer
to the photos shown below.
To assist connecting the regulator, carefully
place the rubber hose into an insulated cup of
boiling hot water. This allows the rubber hose to
expand and allow the regulator to be connected
easily. After connecting the regulator, tighten
the hose clip with a screwdriver.

EN

• The heater is primarily for outdoor use only. Always ensure that adequate fresh air
ventilation is provided.
• Always maintain proper clearance to non protected combustible materials i.e. top 100 cm
and sides 100cm minimum.
• Heater must be placed on level firm ground.
• Never operate heater in an explosive atmosphere like in areas where gasoline or other
flammable liquids or vapors are stored.
• To protect heater from strong wind, anchor the base securely to the ground with screws.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
• This heater is primarily designed to be used with propane gas.
• Butane gas may also be used with the appropriate regulator however butane freezes at
zero degrees so will not be ideal to be used during cold temperatures.
• A dented, rusted or damaged cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your
gas supplier before being used with this heater.
• Never connect an unregulated cylinder to the heater.
HEATER STAND & LOCATION
7FØRO PH13000  MANUAL EN

Gas hose connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete
gas leak check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling during
the transit process.
Leak testing: Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition.
A full gas cylinder is required. This test must be done before initial use, annually and whenever
any gas Components are replaced or serviced.
1. Mix a solution of water and washing up liquid, then pour onto the connection between
the joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves. See Leak Testing
Diagram below for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn the gas
regulator ON.
• If no bubbles are present - This indicates the connection is leak safe.
• If bubbles are present - Tighten the hose clip further and retest for leaks
• If bubbles continue to appear -please contact your gas supplier or heater distributor
2. If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply and disconnect it.
3. Do not use the patio heater until the leak has been corrected.

OPERATION AND STORAGE
WARNING: Please ensure the glass tube has not been damaged before operation.
TO TURN THE HEATER ON
1. Ensure the variable control knob is at the OFF position
2. Connect the gas regulator to a compatible gas cylinder
3. Push and turn the variable control knob to the “Pilot “ position and hold for 60
seconds. Whilst still holding the control knob down, press the ignition button.
A pilot flame should appear.
4. Once the blue pilot flame stays alight constantly, let go of the variable knob.
5. Turn the variable control knob to the desired temperature position -Lo to Hi
IMPORTANT NOTE
• When lighting the heater for the first time or a new cylinder is connected, the air inside
the hose must be purged. This process will take a few minutes as liquefied petroleum gas
is heavier than air
• As a result the variable control knob should be pressed down at the Pilot position for 3
Minutes instead of the normal 60 second period
• This ensures the gas purges the air in the hose and passes from the cylinder through to
the main burner
