The Algarve patio heater produces heat like the sun, warming people and objects and not the
air in between, providing the only form of heat that will not blow away. The Algarve is primarily
designed for outdoor use and it is therefore weatherproof (IP54 rated) and UL Listed.
Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this heater is
guaranteed only by its correct usage in accordance with these instructions, therefore it
is recommended that they are retained for future reference.
** Caution! ** Before using this appliance:
• Check that the voltage indicated on the data plate corresponds to the main
supply voltage.
• Ensure that the heater has been securely fastened to the mounting.
• Disconnect main power during installation, cleaning and/or emitter
replacement and ensure that the emitter is cool.
• Do not handle the halogen emitter with bare hands. If it is advertently
touched, remove finger marks with a soft cloth and methylated spirits
or alcohol. Finger marks will burn into the quartz, causing premature
heater failure.
