The lava rocks and logs can scorch black in time. This has to do with soot formation which always occurs in devices
that show a yellow flame. This soot can be removed by blowing / vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner. The soot
may also be brushed off with a dry brush.
2. Placing the bottle
When you have purchased a gas bottle that is prescribed in the supplied list, you can now place the gas bottle in
the Cosicube. However, this is not mandatory. You can also choose to place the gas bottle outside of the unit.
-
Placing the gas bottle inside of the Cosicube:
In one of the sides there is a hatch, through which a gas cylinder can be placed in the model. Place your hand
at the bottom of the hatch of the Cosicube and pull the bottom of the hatch towards you. The hatch will
now come out from under the stainless steel plate; put the hatch aside. Then connect the gas pressure
regulator to the bottle and place the gas bottle in the Cosicube. Then close the hatch again.
-
Installation of the gas bottle extern of the Cosicube:
If you want to place the gas bottle outside the Cosicube, for example because you are using a gas bottle with
more capacity than is specified in the list? Then you can use the gas bottle outside the Cosicube, this has to
be done in the following way:
1. Guide the gas hose outside the Cosicube by placing the gas hose underneath the model.
2. The supplied hose is 1.5 m long. Therefore, the gas bottle should be placed at a maximum
distance of 1 meter away from the Cosicube. Children and pets can trip over the hose, so place
the hose outside of the walking area, where children and pets can't reach it.
3. Connect the gas bottle to the supplied pressure regulator and turn the bottle open if you want to
use. When you are not using the Cosicube make sure the gas valve on the gas bottle is turned off.
3. Replacing the cylinder
Do you need to replace the gas bottle because it's empty? Make sure the model, ceramic logs and lava rocks
are completely cooled down! Use the description in point 2 "placing the gas bottle" and remove the old bottle.
You can have the old bottle filled up or exchanged at your local gas supplier.
4. Replacing the hose and pressure regulator
Replace your propane gas hose every three years. This is a national advice. Pressure regulators can go for five
years. After the pressure regulator and the gas hose have been replaced, the unit must always be checked for
gas leaks.
How to check your Cosicube on gas leaks:
-
Open the gas bottle but do not turn on the Cosicube!
-
Make a solution with 50% water and 50% detergent and spray this solution on each connection and the
hose. If there is a gas leak in the connection or the hose you will see air bubbles arise.
-
If bubbles are visible, immediately shut off the gas. Buy a new hose or regulator.
-
Does the problem keep occurring? Please contact a qualified gas engineer.
Replace the hose or pressure regulator and make sure that they are installed in the exact same way. In the
Netherlands, a 30mbar pressure regulator should be placed. The hose must not be longer than 2.5 meters.
When in doubt, always consult a qualified gas engineer.
