Product Information
Full details
The Kettler Parasol Stem Electric Heater is designed for homeowners who want to extend their outdoor dining season without compromising on space or safety. This 2000W heater attaches directly to existing parasol poles, providing efficient, focused warmth to those seated at the table. While it is a highly versatile and space-saving solution, users should note that its performance is optimized for areas directly underneath the parasol canopy, meaning it may not effectively heat larger open-air patio spaces.

FAQs
Does this heater need a special parasol?
No, it features a universal clamping system that fits any standard parasol pole between 25mm and 70mm.
Is it safe to use in light rain?
The unit is IP44 rated, which means it is protected against light moisture, but it should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy downpours.
Can I leave the heater on the parasol permanently?
While it can stay on during the season, we recommend removing and storing the unit during winter or during high-wind events to protect the longevity of the electronics.
What is the maximum power consumption?
The heater has two settings, with a maximum draw of 2000W.
Does the heater get hot to the touch?
The heating elements reach high temperatures during operation. Always keep children and pets away from the unit while it is powered on.
Troubleshooting
Heater will not turn on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into an outdoor-rated socket and that the RCD has not tripped.
Heater feels less warm than usual
Ensure the carbon elements are clean and free of dust, and verify that the power setting is switched to the higher 2000W mode.
Unit wobbles on the pole
Tighten the clamping mechanism securely, ensuring the internal pads are firmly gripping the parasol stem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the heater, ensure your parasol pole diameter falls within the 25-70mm range. Simply clamp the unit onto the center pole at a height that is out of reach for children but close enough to provide warmth to the table area. Always ensure the power cable is routed safely along the parasol pole and down to a weatherproof outdoor power outlet. For maintenance, ensure the device is completely disconnected from power and cooled down before cleaning. Wipe the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. During the off-season or when high winds are predicted, it is recommended to remove the heater and store it in a dry, indoor location to prolong the lifespan of the heating elements.
