\"Bromic<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor\u00a0dining has\u00a0risen\u00a0in popularity\u00a0since\u00a0the pandemic. But with the weather not often\u00a0on our side in Britain,\u00a0most of us are layering up\u00a0to enjoy our\u00a0food and drinks outside. Here at\u00a0<\/span>Smart Fire<\/span><\/a>, we want you to make the most of the great outdoors and get back to\u00a0socialising with loved ones\u00a0(without\u00a0the hassle of your hat, scarf and gloves).\u00a0This is why\u00a0we provide some of the best quality\u00a0commercial outdoor gas and electric heaters for\u00a0use in your bars, restaurants and any other outdoor spaces\u00a0that\u00a0may\u00a0need an extra hug of warmth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you set up your heaters,\u00a0understanding the\u00a0potential safety risks\u00a0for yourself and your\u00a0guests\u00a0is vital. To\u00a0help you out, we have\u00a0compiled a list of our top 5 tips on how to use your patio heater safely.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Do Not Leave Unattended<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If\u00a0your guests have left the outdoor area,\u00a0then you must turn off all patio heaters\u00a0as\u00a0they cannot be left unattended. Much\u00a0like the guests themselves, you must be watching to see if they need any assistance,\u00a0so a careful eye is key.\u00a0Don\u2019t\u00a0forget \u2013 this isn\u2019t the responsibility of your diners, it\u2019s part of the service you provide\u00a0to ensure they have a comfortable\u00a0and\u00a0enjoyable experience.\u00a0This is made easy with\u00a0our extensive range of\u00a0<\/span>Bromic Gas Heaters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as multiple units can be controlled from one\u00a0location. As soon as the final guests leave for the night, all heaters can be turned off at once\u00a0with the\u00a0smart system controls, ensuring\u00a0no heater is forgotten about.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Free The Area of Obstructions<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Patio heaters can quickly become a fire hazard if they are\u00a0positioned too closely to certain materials such as gazebo\u00a0walls,\u00a0artificial\u00a0grass and\u00a0propane tanks\u00a0filled with lighter fluid.\u00a0We recommend a\u00a0minimum\u00a0distance of\u00a0three feet between your patio heaters and any combustibles\u00a0to ensure maximum safety. In a commercial setting, this includes making sure all guests are\u00a0made aware of this and know not to\u00a0sit too closely or to put any bags and coats touching the heaters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is particularly important if your\u00a0patio heater\u00a0of choice is portable \u2013 as guests may be tempted to move them closer when the night draws in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Outdoor<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

3. Weather Protection <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Whilst\u00a0the\u00a0job\u00a0of a patio heater is to protect us from the elements by providing\u00a0a\u00a0cozy\u00a0outdoor experience,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0important to keep in mind that\u00a0their safety lessens in extreme weather conditions.\u00a0Most\u00a0of\u00a0our\u00a0<\/span>commercial\u00a0outdoor electric heaters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0come\u00a0with wall-mounting brackets, so the fear of wind pushing over the heaters is eliminated. Additionally,\u00a0our\u00a0<\/span>commercial outdoor gas heaters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0come with\u00a0effective operation in winds of up to 12 K\/h\u00a0so you can relax knowing your guests are\u00a0comfortable, warm, and most importantly safe.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Keep Away from Children<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although our\u00a0<\/span>Bromic Heaters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0come in an eye-catching\u00a0range of elegantly mesmerising designs, you must make sure that they\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0catch the eyes of children.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please remember that nobody under the age of\u00a015\u00a0should be\u00a0using the patio heaters\u00a0whether this be moving them around or even switching them on or off.\u00a0As a general rule, commercial heaters should only be used by staff members\u00a0so this should usually be the case anyway.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Fire recommends that fire-safety rules are printed and placed in areas where your patio heaters will be, as well as all staff members being\u00a0regularly\u00a0fire-safety trained.\u00a0This is so that in the small chance of a fire,\u00a0you and\u00a0your guests are aware of the correct procedures to take.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Keep On Top of Cleaning<\/h2>\n

Cleaning your patio heater is essential. With the most slick and\u00a0modern designs on the market, why wouldn\u2019t you want to show them\u00a0off and\u00a0keep\u00a0them in\u00a0tip-top\u00a0condition?\u00a0Before cleaning, ensure that the heater is turned off.\u00a0Once\u00a0it has cooled down completely,\u00a0use a non-abrasive scouring pad to gently scrub the exterior and interior of the emitter.\u00a0Our\u00a0<\/span>Bromic Heaters<\/span><\/a>\u00a0come with a ceramic burner, which you should avoid getting wet.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0important to note that no cleaning chemicals should be used on your patio heater due to them being extremely flammable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
