• The heater is only suitable for use in dry, not dusty, locations. Do not use in leisure vehicles such as caravans and mobile homes.
• Make sure that the correct gas is used and that the gas containers are not exposed to heat or extreme temperature changes. Always
store the gas containers in a cool, dry and dark place.
• Use only a correct low pressure regulator according to EN16129. Outlet pressure details: see rating label. Do not move the appliance
when operating, shocks and bumps may activate the safety device. In case of any doubt contact your local dealer.
• Use the heater only in well-ventilated rooms. In this way the gases produced by combustion will be removed by fresh air.
• Never use the heater in places where harmful gases or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gases or paint fumes).
• If the heater is positioned too close to inflammable materials you may risk fire.
• The fireguard of this heater is intended to prevent direct access to heating elements and must be in place when the heater is in use.

ASSEMBLING THE GAS HEATER

• Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents. In addition to the heater you should also have: Directions for Use for the
gas heater
• Remove all other packaging materials and check the heater for any damage. If you have any doubts concerning the heater, please contact
qualified service personnel. Keep all packaging material out of the reach of young children.
• Unscrew the fixing screws at the rear of the gas heater. Disconnect the rear cover from the heater.
• Before connecting the low-pressure regulator, please check and read the following: The gas heater should only be powered by Propane-
Butane in a container with a maximum weight of 15kg. Connect the low-pressure regulator with a fixed calibration of maximum 30 mbar
that complies with EN 12864:2002. The hose should be according to national standards. For correct connection, the hose should be connected
using metal bands of a suitable size. For correct connection, follow the instructions provided with the low-pressure regulator.
• Slide the two metal rings around the hose. Connect the hose to the hose union of the low-pressure regulator and to that of the tab. Close
the metal rings firmly with a screw, but make sure that you do not damage the fitting or any component.
• Before connecting the low-pressure regulator to the gas container, make sure that the gas container is closed and that there are no open
flames (i.e. a lit oven) in the place where you are working. Connect the low-pressure regulator according to the user instructions that are
provided with the low-pressure regulator.
Check for gas leaks: see section F
• Place the gas container in its compartment. Take care that the hose is not twisted or obstructed, and that it is unable to touch any hot parts
of the heater.
• Hook the rear cylinder cover onto the compartment by inserting the two hooks into the respective holes of the cabinet. Screw the two screws
again into the rear of the heater.

In addition
• To replace the gas container, make sure that the gas container is closed (follow the user instructions provided with the low-pressure
regulator). Let the gas heater cool down first and make sure that there are no open flames or other sources of heat in the area in which you
are working.
• Only change the gas container in a flame free environment.
• In addition it is recommended that the gasket seals of the regulator and the flexible rubber hose be checked to ascertain their condition. If
you have any doubt concerning the condition of the hose or the seals, replace them.
• Make sure that you do not damage the connection or any other components;

• Never turn the gas container upside down in order to make full use of the contents. This may release liquid residues left in the container that
damage the heater irreparably;
• For disconnection or connection of the low-pressure regulator, always follow the user instructions provided with the regulator;
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any harm or damage if attention is not paid to the points described above.
• Do not twist the flexible tubing or the hose.
INSTALLATION
• Use the gas heater in well-ventilated rooms only. A minimum room size of 82m³ 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.
• 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).
• Turn the regulation knob into position 1 as indicated in fig. Press it all the way down and, at the same time, press the piezoelectric button;
this turns the atmosphere analyzer on. To keep the flame lit, the knob must be held pressed down for 20 - 40 seconds after ignition.
