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.
• Each time when gas cylinder or gas tube is connected: always do a leakage test with soapy water - see chapter 'gas leaks'.
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).
• See the fig. Turn the regulation knob (5) into position 1. Press button (5) down for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds: keep pressing button 5
down and at the same time, press the piezoelectric button (4) a few times until the small blue pilot flame at the lower end of the front of the
heater is visible. KEEP PRESSING DOWN BUTTON (5) for another 20-40 seconds.
After 20-40 seconds: the button 5 can be released (keep it in position 1). If the pilot flame disappears: repeat the procedure. Especially with
a new gas bottle OR when the heater is not used for a couple of days this procedure could take a couple of times because the gas must flow
from the gas bottle through the gas tube towards the pilot flame first!
After button (1) is released: the button can now be turned to the desired heating position: (2) medium heat or (3) maximum heat.
1. minimum
2. medium
3. maximum
4. ignition
5. regulation knob
Release the knob and turn it to the position corresponding with the desired amount of heat:
• To turn OFF the device, close the gas container valve.(follow the instructions provided with the low-pressure regulator).
• Do not hold the regulation knob pressed down for longer than 40 seconds.
• Never move the heater when it is hot and/or in operation.

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;
• Open the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator);
• Brush the soapy water on all fittings and connections of the gas circuit;
• If there is a gas leak, bubbles will rise up from the location of the leak;
• If a leak is found, close the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator).
• Tighten the fitting and the metal rings of the connection;
• Open the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator) and repeat the procedure again.
If there is still a gas leak contact a professional and qualified engineer for help.

SAFETY TIPS 2

• Always place the heater facing the center of the room.
• Do never move the heater when it is burning.
• Prevent people, especially young children and elderly people from touching very hot surfaces.
• Never dry clothes at the top of the metal guard grill
• Keep all flammable materials at least one meter away from the heater.
• Never use a gas heater in a bathroom, bedroom, mobile home, high rise buildings or caravan. Toxic gases may cause serious health problems
in these situations.
• Never use or store solvents and pressure pack cans near a gas heater, even if the heater is turned off.
• Never dispose of rubbish such as cigarette butts in a gas fire -this can affect combustion and produce dangerous pollutants.
• Make sure rooms containing gas heater are well ventilated.
