Frequently Asked Questions - PH511AC Vonroc

How to assemble the Vonroc PH511AC patio heater?

Follow the steps illustrated in the manual: attach the lower tube to the base plate, add the cover, then assemble the center and upper tubes with the provided bolts. Finally, attach the heating element to the extension tube and adjust the desired tilt.

How to turn on and adjust the heater power?

Use the pull cord (switch). Pull to cycle through the levels: 0 (off), 1 (730 W), 2 (1460 W), 3 (2200 W). The power level indicator shows the current setting.

What safety distances must be observed?

The front and sides must be more than 1 m from any object or wall. The bottom of the device must be at least 1.80 m from the ground. If under a roof, provide 30 cm between the top and the ceiling (50 cm if the roof is flammable).

Can I use this heater indoors?

No, this model is designed only for outdoor use or in a spacious, well-ventilated area. Do not use it in a bedroom, bathroom, or any other enclosed space.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly connected to a functional power outlet. Ensure the switch is not in position 0. If the problem persists, check the main fuse of your installation. Contact a professional if necessary.

How to clean the heater?

Unplug and let the device cool down. Clean the housing with a soft cloth slightly dampened with soapy water. Do not use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive products. Never immerse the device in water.

What is the anti-tilt function and how does it work?

If the device tips over, a sensor turns it off immediately. After lifting it back up, you must set it to position 0 with the switch, unplug it, check for damage, then turn it on normally.

Is the device waterproof?

It has an IP34 protection rating, which protects against water splashes from all directions. It can be used in light rain, but avoid exposure to strong water jets or immersion.

How to store the heater in winter?

Assembling the heater (Fig. B-F)

Always mount the device with the supplied accessories.

Before starting to assemble the device, take the following into consideration:

• Place the device on a firm, level surface. The device may never be placed at an angle!
• The device must be placed so that there is 100 cm of free space between the heater and object or wall, measured from the front or side. There must be at least 1.80m between the ground and the underside of the device. There must be at least 30cm clearance between the device and the ceiling.
• Do not install the heater on or near an inflammable surface.
  If the heater is to be used outside, a weatherproof outlet is highly recommended.
• Before drilling ensure that there are no wires or

water pipes in the area where the heater is to be installed.

1. Start by mounting the lower tube (10) onto the baseplate (12). Tighten the long bolts (13) as shown on figure B.
2. Slide the cover (11) onto the lower tube (10) as shown on figure B. This will hide the bolts (13) from plain sight.
3. Take a large cable holder (9) and put it on the middle tube (8) as shown in figure C.
4. Now put the middle tube (8) onto the lower tube (10). Ensure the holes in both tubes align. Now tighten with the short bolts (14) as shown in figure C.
5. Take a large cable holder (9) and put it on the upper tube (6) as shown in figure D.
6. Now put the upper tube (6) onto the middle tube (18). Ensure the holes in both tubes align. Now tighten with the short bolts (14) as shown in figure D.
7. Untighten the clamping ring (15) on the upper tube (6) by turning it anti-clockwise. Now, the extendable tube (16) can be extended upwards by pulling it.
8. When the desired height is reached, righten the clamping ring (15) on the upper tube (6) by turning it clockwise.
9. Take the small cable holder (7) and put it on the extendable tube (16) as shown in figure D.
10. Slide the hole on the underside of the heater (1) onto the extendable tube (16) as shown on figure E.
11. Ensure the two holes in the the heater (1) align with the holes in the extendable tube (16).

4. OPERATION

Switching on/off (Fig. A)

The heater can be turned on and off using the pull cord. Pull the cord of the pull switch (5) until the desired heating level appears on the heating level indicator (3):

• Level 0 = switched off
• Level 1 = 730W
• Level 2 = 1460W
• Level 3 = 2200W

To turn the heater off, pull the cord of the pull switch (5) to the 0 level position.

Tip over safety switch (Fig. A)

This heater is fitted with a tip-over safety switch. In the event that the heater falls over, the heater automatically shuts off. Please note that when the heater is returned to its upright position, it does not resume its operating immediately. First switch it off (read 'switching on/off'), remove the plug from the socket and check the heater for damage. In case of damage or malfunctioning do not use but offer for checking / repair. If there is no damage, you can simply switch the heater on again (read 'switching on/off').
