• Close the cylinder valve.
• Disconnect and remove the regulator from the cylinder.
• Replace the empty cylinder with a full gas cylinder valve and eliminate leaks; if not call a qualified technician.

VENTILATION:

Your gas heater consumes oxygen when in operation. For this reason, adequate ventilation must be provided in the room where it is used. This ensures the elimination of the products of combustion and allows a renewal of the air. Proper ventilation should greatly reduce the risk of condensation. The table below shows you the proper ventilation so that the air is renewed properly.

VOLUME OF THE PLACE	VENTILATION SURFACE
	Minimum Power	Maximum Power
84 m3	105 m3	105 m3

IN THE CASE OF PROBLEM:

The 2 most common problems associated with any gas heaters are gas leaks, gas pressure that is bad, as well as dirt.

- Check for leaks: The origin of the leakage may originate from transport or installation. A solution of soap and water buffered on the fittings will cause bubbles if gas leaks are present.

- Poor gas pressure: Too much gas pressure can seriously damage your appliance. Little pressure does not allow your device to function properly. If the installer cannot verify the gas pressure, consult your gas dealer.

- Dust and dirt: This heating requires a little maintenance. If the spark does not stay on or if one part is not as bright as the other, your heater probably needs a good cleaning.

Disassembly of the thermocouple or pilot is prohibited. If necessary, please contact our after-sales service.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE BEFORE CALLING FOR FURTHER HELP The heater doesn't light:

• Check the gas cylinder to make sure that it is full.
• Check the regulator to make sure that it is properly attached and the cylinder valve is turned on.
• Check that the instructions have been followed correctly.

If this happens after the cylinder has been changed it would be due to:

• Air in the cylinder. Hold the control knob down for a longer period of time until the pilot and main burner light. Switch to the 3-HIGH setting.
• The cylinder may have been excessively cold. Allow the cylinder to reach room temperature before attempting to start the heater.

The heater turns off by itself:

• If the heater goes out on continuous working, repeat the operation, following the instructions faithfully.
• If it goes out soon after 30 minutes or so, it means that it is operated in a badly ventilated area. Open a window or a door to ventilate the area and reignite.
• Avoid bumping the heater in operation. Don't move the heater while in operation. The tip-over switch may be activated and turn the heater off.

MAINTENANCE ANO CLEANING:

• Before maintenance and cleaning, gas heater supply must be turned off, the heater should be cold.

• The heater should be checked annually by a qualified technician for safe operation and in order to detect any faults.

• In case any faults are detected while in use, stop using the heater and contact your dealer for advice.

• Periodically clean the exterior and storage area of your heater to remove dust and fuzz build upon the surfaces of the ceramic components.
• Do not use abrasive products to clean the heater.
• Check the pilot light while it is operating. It should burn steadily. If it flickers or there is a yellow flame, the heater should be checked to make sure it is properly functioning.
• In case any parts need replacement, they must be replaced only with parts from the original manufacturer. The use of incorrect or substitute parts might be dangerous and will avoid any warranty.

When the heater is not in use, we recommend that it is covered, or kept in its carton to minimize the accumulation of dirt that may occur.

STORAGE:

If you decide not to use the heater for an extended period of time please follow the instructions below:

• Close the cylinder valve and disconnect the regulator from the cylinder.
