How to turn on the heat gun?

Make sure the appliance is plugged in and the gas bottle valve is open. Flip the on/off switch (5) to start the fan. Press and hold the gas supply button (6) and press the piezo igniter (7) several times until the burner ignites. Keep the gas supply button pressed for an additional 10 seconds after ignition.

What to do if the flame goes out after releasing the gas supply button?

This is due to the ignition safety device. Relight the appliance by holding the gas supply button pressed a bit longer (about 10 to 15 seconds) to allow the safety probe to heat up.

What are the important safety instructions?

Never use indoors without adequate ventilation. Maintain a distance of at least 2 meters in front and above the appliance. Do not cover the appliance. Do not touch hot parts. Keep children away. In case of gas smell, close the valve and ventilate. Only use certified hoses and regulators.

How to replace the gas bottle?

Perform the replacement outdoors, away from any ignition sources. Close the bottle valve, turn off the appliance and unplug it. Allow to cool completely. Unscrew the regulator and replace the bottle. Connect the new tank following the initial connection procedure.

Why does the appliance turn off by itself?

The appliance turns off automatically in case of overheating. Allow it to cool, then find and eliminate the cause of overheating (blocked grilles, insufficient distance, etc.). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I use the appliance indoors?

No, this appliance may only be used outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms with a minimum volume of 200 m³ (300 m³ for 35000 models) and a ventilation opening of at least 500 cm² (750 cm²). It is not suitable for heating living spaces.

What type of gas and regulator to use?

Use exclusively propane or a propane-butane mixture with a suitable pressure regulator: 300 mbars for Roturbo 12000 and 19000, 1500 mbars for Roturbo 35000 and 35000 SA. Only use certified hoses and regulators.

How to clean the appliance?

Before any cleaning, unplug the power supply and close the gas valve. Allow to cool completely. Clean the exterior with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive products, solvents or gasoline. Regularly dust the motor and ventilation grilles.

What to do in case of gas leak?

If you smell gas, immediately close the bottle valve. Keep the appliance away from any ignition sources. Ventilate the room. Do not search for the leak with a flame; use a leak detection spray or soapy water. Do not use the appliance until the leak has been repaired.

Where should I install the appliance?

Install the appliance on a flat surface, outdoors or in a well-ventilated room. Maintain a distance of at least 2 meters in front and above the appliance from any combustible material. The gas bottle must not be heated and should be placed away from the appliance. Observe safety distances.

INSTALLATION / PREPARED FOR USE

MOUNTING THE HANDLE

Mount the handle onto the gas heater using the screws provided. Use a PH2 phillips screwdriver.

CONNECTING TO A GAS CYLINDER

CAUTION. The appliance may only be used with the hose and regulator supplied.

• Ensure that all valves are closed.
• Check that the seal between the regulator and the gas container are in place and in good condition before connecting to the gas container. Depending on the version / country, the seal may be located in the pressure regulator connection, in the gas cylinder connection or in both connections. In case of doubt, please contact your local gas dealer.
• Check the condition of the hose and regulator each time before using the burner. Do not use a hose or regulator that is damaged or worn.
• Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the thread is correct (there may be differences according to country).
• Install the hose failure safety device, if available.
• Connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator and to the appliance. The hose end connector and the appliance connector have left-handed threads.
• Tighten the connections and the pressure regulator with a suitably sized open-ended wrench (there may be differences according to version / country). Do not exert excessive force to prevent over-tightening or damaging the threads.
• Open the cylinder valve. Ensure that all the connections are tight. Use a leakage detection spray or soapy water for this purpose. The connections may have to be re-tightened.
• Do not use the device if there is a leak in the system.
• Close the cylinder valve after performing the leakage test.

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS

• Ensure that the rated power indicated on the machine label corresponds with your mains before using the machine.
• Connect the appliance to a correctly earthed socket.

OPERATION / USE

• Place the appliance and gas cylinder assembly outdoors on a level and stable surface, well away from any inflammable materials. Pay special attention to the safety instructions above in relation to the scope of use, installation site, risk of fire, using gas appliances etc.
• The gas cylinder may not be heated and should never be positioned in front of the heater.
• Ensure that the appliance is connected to the mains.
• Roturbo 35000 SA: turn the gas regulating valve (8) anti-clockwise to max. position.
• Open the gas cylinder valve by turning the knob anti-clockwise.
• Press the pressure release button of the hose failure safety device (12a), if available.
• Put the On -/ Off-switch (5) into position "I" Ensure that the ventilator is now running. If not, the appliance may not be operated until this fault has been corrected.
• Press and hold the gas feed button (6). At the same time, press the Piezo ignition (7) as often as necessary until the heater is lit. If the heater can't be ignited, wait approx. one minute and repeat the procedure as described above.
• Keep the gas feed button pressed for another 10 seconds.
• Roturbo 35000 SA: Once the flame is established, it can be adjusted as required by turning the gas regulating valve (8).
• Turning off the appliance: close the gas cylinder valve first, allow the appliance to cool down and then turn the ventilator off and disconnect the plug from the mains.

Caution hot! Both the housing and front of the appliance become very hot during use. Avoid contact with these parts when the machine is in use.

Caution! Risk of burning.

• Since the air blown out is extremely hot, persons and animals should not stay directly in front of the appliance.
• As the appliance remains hot for a period of time after use, let it cool down completely before moving or touching it.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the gas and mains when it is not in use.

FUNCTION OF THE SAFETY DEVICES

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

When the appliance is too hot, it will automatically turn itself off. Before trying to use the appliance again, locate and remove the cause of the overheating.

SAFETY CUT-OUT
