1. 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 distributed 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 combustible 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 fire when heated.
Make sure that the fan blades may rotate unobstructed at all times.
Do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
