Lightweight, highly portable patio or conservatory heater, ideal for positioning underneath an outdoor table to take the chill off legs on colder evenings

• Freestanding, compact heater that produces an orange glow, provides instant localised warmth to those in close proximity
• Infrared heaters work by transmitting electromagnetic waves through the air which are then absorbed by any object they encounter (such as us humans), resulting in a warming effect
• The comfortable warmth is similar to the heat transfer from the sun, but due to the lower intensity there are no harmful effects such as UV - infrared is completely safe - please see the product video tab above for more information
• Best used in addition to wall mounted or overhead outdoor heaters
• Can be used as a temporary heater for sitting close in a conservatory/garden room or on caravanning trips with access to an electric supply
• Easy to operate, simply plug in and switch on
• Completely silent and odour free in operation
• CE marked, IEC 60335-1; 60335-2-30 Electrical & Construction Safety Tested and RoHS compliant
• 3-Pin UK Plug included with this heater

• Rated Power: 800W at 230V
• Heating Element: Ultra long life Carbon heating lamp (up to 10,000 hours)
• Body: Extruded aluminium, safety coated “suede” finish
• Dimensions: Ø20 x 65 cm
• Warm-up time: 5-10 seconds
• Peak wavelength: 2 – 5µm
• Weight: 4.2kg
• Warranty: 2 Years (excludes lamp)
• Cable Length: 2m
• Protection: IP44

Power Requirements:

• Rated Voltage (V): 230V 50/60Hz
• Rated Current (A): 3.5
• Fuse/Circuit Breaker Rating (A): 13

Avoid touching the protective coating of the heater. DO NOT SCRATCH OR RUB the protective coating on the heater, removal or damage to the coating will increase the temperature of the grill of the heater and cause it to be very hot to touch.

The heater may be carefully wiped down with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents to clean the unit. DO NOT use alcohol, petrol, abrasive cleaners, furniture polish or rough brushes to clean the HAVANA. This will cause damage to the surface of the heater.

Changing the lamp should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.

Store the heater in a cool, dry location when not in use to prevent dust and dirt build up. Use packaging carton to store.

How do electric patio heaters work?

Electric infrared heaters convert electricity into infrared heat via a heating element or lamp. This heat is transmitted by electromagnetic waves through the air until it reaches an object (they do not heat the air itself). The objects (and that includes us humans) absorb the electromagnetic waves which has the effect of warming us. It is similar to the heat transfer from the sun, but due to the lower intensity there are no harmful effects such as UV. Infrared is completely safe.

Infrared is a form of light and just like light, it travels in straight lines and reduces over distance. So like a light bulb, the closer you are to it, the more of the infrared heat is absorbed by you and the warmer you feel. The further away, the less of it reaches you and the colder you feel.

In terms of your comfort outdoors, you can compensate for feeling cold by having several heaters, hotter heaters or being closer to the heater. These are the main things you can adjust.

How do I work out how many or what size I need?

We give a heated area guide for each heater, but this is a guideline only and the area covered will depend on the ambient temperature, level of wind and mounting height. As a general rule, any cover (whether temporary or permanent), such as an awning will help to keep the area warmer and cosier, and the more shelter in terms of walls or wind blocks that exist, the better. Even though you are still absorbing the heat from the heater, a cold wind will prevent you from properly feeling the benefit – just like the effect that a chilly wind has on a sunny day.

How much do they cost to run?

The amount of electricity consumed by a patio heater is measured by its wattage (power). So a 1000W (or 1kW) heater will consume 1kW of electricity per hour that it is running. The average price of 1 kWh of electricity in the UK is currently about 15 pence. So, a 2000W (2kW) heater will cost 2 x 15p = 30p per hour to run. For heaters with different heat settings the usage could be lower than the stated wattage (for example our 2000W California has a half power setting, so on half power would only consume 1kWh of electricity on this setting).

Are they bad for the environment?

When powered by clean, renewable electricity we believe that our outdoor heaters provide a sustainable way to allow people to enjoy time outdoors with zero harmful fumes, air pollution or CO2 emissions. The majority of the components in our heaters are metal and a very high percentage (c.95%) can be recycled at end of life. They are designed to last and there are no harmful chemicals used in the production process, or in the heaters.
