GENERAL INFORMATION FOR USER
Patron electric heaters are designed for professional use.
The heat is generated in sealed heating elements inside the inner mantle of the heater. Heated air is then dis-
tributed by an electric motor driven fan blowing air through the heater.
Although effectively cooled by the fan, the heating elements have high surface temperatures. That is why com-
bustible materials must be kept at a safe distance from the heater and care must be taken that no combustible
particles enter the heater with the air sucked in by the fan.
Keep the heater clean of dust at any time. Dust may cause re when heated.
Make sure that the fan blades may rotate unobstructed at all times.
Do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
