Operation
An unpleasant smell may be produced when the device
is used for the first time in some cases. This is however
completely harmless and will disappear completely over
time.
Before each use, check the device and its connecting
parts and accessories for damage.
Power on:
1) Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder
valve.
2) Connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator.
3) Connect the gas hose to the heater.
4) Open the gas cylinder valve.
5) Check screw caps with leak detection spray or
soapy water for possible gas leakage. Tighten again
if necessary.
6) Put the mains cable into a suitable socket.
7) Press the On/Off switch to switch on the device.
8) From the intake side, check whether the fan is
rotating.
9) If the fan is turning, keep the gas valve button
pressed and at the same time press the ignition
button repeatedly until the burner ignites.
10) Keep the gas valve knob pressed for approx. 10
seconds until the thermal fuse has warmed up and
keeps the gas supply open.
11) Check that the gas heater is running continuously.
Power off:
1) To switch off the gas heater, always close the gas
cylinder valve first.
2) Run the fan for 1-2 minutes to blow out any non-
combusted gas and to cool down the unit.
3) Switch the device off with the On/Off switch.
4) Pull out the mains plug to disconnect the device
from the mains.
5) Disconnect the device from the gas cylinder by
unscrewing the pressure regulator from the gas
cylinder valve.
6) Carry out the maintenance and cleaning work
described in the instructions. Please note the
intervals mentioned. (once a month, every 50
operating hours, after each season)
7) Store the device and the gas cylinders as described
in the chapter on storage
Handling of gas bottles.
Make sure the gas bottles are used and stored in rooms
with sufficient air inlet and outlet.
A leaking gas bottle may reduce the share of oxygen
in the inhaled air and therefore represent a risk of
suffocation.
Before using the device, always check that the pressure
controller seal is correctly fitted and working properly.
Before use, make sure the gas bottle contains gas desi-
gned for the work being done.
Gas bottles must always be safely fixed in a vertical po-
sition on a wall support or on a specially manufactured
gas bottle cart.
The liquid gas cylinder must be changed in a well-ven-
tilated room or outdoors, and away from open flames
(cigarettes, candles or other devices with open flames).
A gas cylinder with a pressure regulator attached must
not be moved.
Close the gas bottle valve after use.
The gas bottle valve must be closed during transport.
Smell of gas or suspect leakage
If you smell gas or suspect a leak, do not use the device.
If the device is in use, the gas supply must be shut off
immediately. Immediately open windows and doors.
Do not press any electrical switches (e.g. light switches),
do not use a telephone or similar and do not use any
naked flames or sources of ignition! The device must be
checked and any faults remedied before it can be used
again.
Emergency procedure
· Stop the gas supply to the device.
· Move out of the danger zone immediately and
make sure that no other persons are in the danger
zone.
· Call the fire brigade.
Maintenance
Before doing any work on the device pull the plug
out of the socket.
Do not tug at the cable to unplug the apparatus.
All activities that require the device to be opened may
only be carried out by Güde or authorised specialist
companies.
Have the device checked annually or after a longer
period of storage by a specialist electrical company to
ensure that it is in good working order.
Check the gas hose lines at least once a month as well as
every time the gas cylinder is replaced. If there are any
signs of damage, the hose lines must be replaced.
The entire device must be checked for correct functio-
nality, including a leak test, once a month. A leak test
can be carried out with a leak detection spray or soapy
water, for example.
Warning!
- Never carry out a leakage check
with an open flame.
Clean the fan blades and the inside of the heater with
compressed air every season or as needed.
