INSTALLATION

• Use the gas heater in well-ventilated rooms only. A minimum room size of 84m³ is recommended for living rooms and 50m³ for other rooms,
but the room should never be less than 50m³. For ventilation, a surface between 12.5cm² and 25cm² is recommended.
• The room in which the gas heater is used should have enough air circulation for normal combustion. Therefore it is recommended that the
room must draw at least 100 cm² from the outside to replace the air;
• Always place the heater on a flat and stable surface. Never install or use the heater in a bathroom or bedroom, in the basement, on the
upper floors of a building or in leisure accommodations;
• Never position the gas heater too close to other sources of heat (a distance of at least 1 metre is required between the gas heater and other
heating sources) or inflammable or explosive materials. During operation, the gas heater should not face objects that can be damaged or
burned;
• Position the heater so that the heat is directed towards the center of the room and towards an open space. In addition, the front, radiant
part must be at least 2.0 meter away from any inflammable materials, i.e. curtains or sofas;
• Never operate the gas heater when the gas container is outside the compartment.
• Only replace gas cylinder in a flame free environment.
• Before connecting the gascontainer to the device
o Check and clean the filter of the regulator
o Release a little bit of gas (outdoors) from the gascontainer. This will clear present dirt particles to prevent them from entering the pressure
regulator or device.
Problem:
No flame/no ignition in winter (temp. <7 °C)
Solution:
Check whether butane or propane is being used: butane will burn ever more poorly as the temperature drops below 7 °C because it then turns
into liquid. With LPG (= propane/butane mixture), it will often help to give the gas cylinder a shake.
Use only a correct low pressure regulator. Outlet pressure details: see rating label. Do not move the appliance when operating, shocks and
bumps may activate the safety device. Do not twist the flexible tubing or hose.

USE

The knobs for turning the gas heater ON are located on the upper part of the heater:
• Open the gas container (follow the user instructions provided with the low-pressure regulator).
• Press down the ignitor button for 10-20 seconds
• After 10-20 seconds: turn button 90 degrees anti clockwise to start ignition
• Press control knob down and wait 20 seconds while pressing down knob, repeatedly turn knob to spark symbol to ,until blue flame is visible.
• Keep the button pushed down
• When the flame is stable for 20-40 seconds: turn the knob to higher capacity if necessary.
o If flame is extinguished: go back to step 1 and 2. But press down button for 30-40 seconds before turning 90 degrees
o Release knob until flame is stable for 20-30 seconds
• Never push down the ignitor button for more than 40 seconds
If the heater does not want to ignite:
Check whether gas heater is full and give the gas cylinder a good shake (do not turn up side down!)
If sure that gas heater is full: Take the heater, your regulator and your gas cylinder to outside.
• Check and clean the filter of the regulator – remove all dirt and particles
• Release a little bit of gas (outdoors!) from the gas container. This will clear present dirt particles to prevent them from entering the pressure
regulator or device.
NEVER move the heater when it is hot and/or in operation!
To turn OFF the heater:
1. Turn the knob to position 0
2. Close the gas cylinder valve
3. Check that all flames are extinguished

GAS LEAKS

If you think there may be a gas leak, please follow this procedure:
• Close the gas container valve. (follow the user instructions for the regulator);
• Extinguish all open flames, for instance stoves;
• Open windows in order to increase airflow circulation;
• Turn off electrical devices, for instance lamps;
• Prepare a bucket of soapy water;
