Congratulations on purchasing our SALTON ELITE OUTDOOR HEATER. Each unit is
manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using this appliance for the first
time, please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
FEATURES OF THE SALTON ELITE OUTDOOR HEATER
The Salton Elite Outdoor Heater is a powerful bar heater that can be used indoors or
outdoors. The unit is Stainless Steel for durability and outdoor use.
The Incoloy element in the heater is a longer lasting element, designed to maintain
high temperatures for longer, without perishing. The alloy metal used for the element
is rust resistant, which is perfect for outdoor use.
Wheels connected to the base of the heater make this unit highly mobile, while wheel
locks on all the wheels ensures safety and stability when the unit is in use.
The heater is 2m high to give wider heat distribution. The height of the heater can be
adjusted easily for indoor use. A 3m cord makes the heater versatile, and convenient
to use in any setting.
The handy On/Off switch under the base of the unit is in a secure and protected
area, and easy to access. The switch has a waterproof cover to guard against moist
and wet weather.
