Frequently Asked Questions - Thermoflamm bio Electro GLORIA

How to use the Thermoflamm bio Electro for weeding?

Plug in the device, turn it on with the On/Off switch, wait about 1 minute for the operating temperature to be reached, then place the conical nozzle on the weed for 5 to 15 seconds depending on the plant type. For tall plants, first heat the upper part, then the base.

Can this device be used to light a barbecue?

Yes, it is suitable for kindling the embers of a charcoal barbecue. Hold the conical nozzle close to the charcoal until it ignites, then move the device away to avoid sparks. Caution: fire risk.

What to do if an odor is emitted during first use?

A slight odor is normal during initial operation. It poses no risk to the device. Ventilate the area and the odor will quickly disappear.

How to clean the thermal burner?

After use, wait for the device to cool completely. Clean the conical nozzle with a cloth or brush. Never immerse the device in water or spray it.

Where should the device not be used?

Never use the device indoors, in a garage, or near flammable materials (gasoline, gas, etc.). It is intended for outdoor use in open air. Also avoid wet weather conditions.

How long should heat be applied to weeds?

5 to 15 seconds are sufficient depending on the plant type. Young shoots are more sensitive; tougher weeds (thistles, grasses) may require repeated treatment at 1-2 week intervals.

Does the device automatically shut off in case of overheating?

The manual does not mention automatic shutoff. It is recommended not to leave the device unattended and to place it on a non-flammable surface after use, using the support stand.

What safety precautions to take to avoid burns?

Never touch the conical nozzle or the heat shield during and after use (they remain hot for a long time). Wear sturdy shoes and protective gloves. Do not direct the hot air flow towards people or animals.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, use an extension cord suitable for outdoors with a conductor cross-section of at least 1.5 mm². Fully unwind the cable if using a reel. The extension cord should not exceed 25 m to avoid power loss.

How to store the device after use?

Let the device cool completely on a non-flammable surface. Fold down the support stand and hang up the device. Store it in a dry place away from frost and prolonged sunlight.
