Product Information
Full details
The Kettler Kalos Lantern Heater is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to extend their time in garden, patio, or balcony spaces during cooler evenings. This 1200W electric heater provides instant, silent warmth through a high-efficiency halogen tube housed in a stylish, modern lantern design. While it offers excellent portability and weather resistance, users should note that as a 50cm unit, it is best suited for focused, localized heating rather than warming large open areas.

FAQs
Is the heater waterproof?
It has an IP55 rating, meaning it is resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets, but it should not be submerged or left out in extreme heavy rain.
Can this be used indoors?
This product is specifically designed and rated for outdoor use only.
How long is the power cable?
The unit includes a 1.8-meter cable.
Does it require any assembly?
The heater is largely plug-and-play, requiring minimal setup before it is ready to use.
How do I clean the halogen tube?
Do not touch the heating tube directly. Use a soft, dry cloth to lightly dust the exterior cage only when the unit is unplugged and cold.
Troubleshooting
Unit will not turn on
Ensure the power cable is firmly inserted into a functioning outlet and check that the surface is level to prevent the tilt switch from locking power.
Heater turns off unexpectedly
Verify that the unit has not been tilted or bumped, triggering the automatic safety cut-off. Ensure it is on a completely flat, stable surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Kettler Kalos Lantern Heater is straightforward: simply place the unit on a flat, stable surface, ensuring there is sufficient clearance from flammable materials. The heater comes with a 1.8-meter cable, allowing for decent flexibility, though an outdoor-rated extension lead may be required depending on your outlet placement. To maintain the unit, ensure it is switched off and cooled completely before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust or garden debris. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the housing. When not in use during the off-season, store the heater in a dry, covered area to maximize the lifespan of the heating element.
