• ALWAYS face heater towards centre of room. Special care should be taken if the heater is on a surface where it can move or twist on its wheels or castors if knocked by a child or dog, etc.
• Minimum Clearance : 200 mm from sides, 1500 mm from front.
• Be sure installation is complying to local standard.
• The heater you have purchased is fitted with safety devices which come on in the event of malfunctioning while the appliance is in use. If the pilot light (placed opposite the burner) accidentally goes out, or if the room is not sufficiently ventilated, the safety device will block the gas flow, causing the heater to go off.

Gas leakages

If a leak is suspected, turn off gas at the gas bottle, open the window and air the room. DO NOT disconnect the pressure regulator. Extinguish all naked lights. Slowly turn the gas on and brush the connections with soapy water or liquid detergent - a gas leak will form bubbles. If a leak is found, turn the gas off and inform your Dealer. DO NOT use the heater again until it has been inspected by your Dealer.

NEVER USE MATCHES TO FIND LEAKS.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Gas bottle

Gas Bottle with 9 kg of maximum capacity can be installed. Changing of gas bottle must not be carried out in the presence of a naked flame. Use the gas bottle always in upright position. MAKE SURE the black neoprene "O -Ring Seal is in place or the regulator bullnose. Regularly examine, and if unduly compressed or damaged, replace. Support regulator with one hand while aligning the regulator bullnose (threaded part) with the threaded gas outlet on cylinder valve. Screw regulator handwheel ANTICLOCKWISE (LEFT HAND THREAD) into gas outlet. Tighten regulator handwheel as ttight as possible by hand only. DO NOT USE TOOLS OR LEVERS TO TIGHTEN. When connecting the regulator to the gas cylinder, avoid undue twisting of the flexible hose. To place the bottle in position, remove the rear panel; than put the bottle in position and replace the panel.

PLACE teh cylinder in the heater cabinet so that the cylinder valve is facing into the compartment. Take care to ensure that is positioned in such a way that the flexible hose does not come into contact with the metal panels of the heater, and avoid twisting of the flexible hose. OPEN cylinder valve by turning handwheel ANTICLOCKWISE. Now refer to the lighting instruction on the heater itself. Please read carefully and follow the instructions. Do not turn the bottle upside down to use completely its content.

Pressure regulators, rubber tubes and clips

fig. 9

CHECK that tubing is completely over the nozzles at each end of the tubing and that it is held firmly in place by tube clips (See fig.9). Check the expiry date and state of the rubber tube regularly. If it is past its expiry date or has been damaged, replace it with one which complies with the current regulations. Avoid bending or constricting the rubber tube when the pressure regulator is connected to the gas cylinder. This heater must be used with an approved Low Pressure Regulator which complies with SAB S1237.

The regulator is required to reduce the pressure of the gas in the cylinder from about 700 kPa to about 2,8 kpa to operate the radiant - the heating panels).

Ventilation

Adequate ventilation must be provided in rooms in which the heater is used. This ensures removal of the products of combustion and allows the entry of replacement air. The following table shows the smallest size of room suitable for each heat setting and the dimensions of the aperture which must be provided equally divided between high and low level, according with the maximum, medium or minimum power.

Control knob setting	Room Size	Room Aperture
1) Position small flame (low rate)	15 m^3	105 cm^2
2) Position big flame (maximum rate)	42 m^3
3) Position medium flame (medium rate)	28.5 m^3

Safety guard
