Frequently Asked Questions - GGH 30 R GUDE

What type of gas can I use with the Güde GGH 30 R?

The heater is designed for propane (LPG) or butane. Use only approved gas cylinders with an appropriate regulator.

How do I ignite the heater?

Turn the gas valve on, then press the piezo igniter button repeatedly until the burner ignites. Ensure the gas cylinder is open.

Can I use the GGH 30 R indoors?

It is intended for well-ventilated areas or outdoor use. Never use in enclosed spaces without proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup.

What safety features does this heater have?

It includes a flame failure device that cuts off gas if the flame goes out, a tip-over switch that shuts it off if knocked over, and overheat protection.

How do I clean the heater?

Disconnect the gas cylinder and allow the heater to cool. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush to clean the burner and air intake from dust and debris.

What is the heat output of the GGH 30 R?

The heater provides 30 kW of heat output, which is suitable for large workshops, warehouses, or outdoor areas up to 300 m².

How do I connect a gas cylinder?

Use a suitable gas hose (usually included) and a pressure regulator. Connect the hose to the heater's gas inlet and tighten the clamp. Then connect the other end to the cylinder valve, ensuring a tight seal.

Why does the heater shut off unexpectedly?

Possible causes: the flame failure sensor is dirty or faulty, the tip-over switch activated (move heater to level ground), or the gas supply is interrupted (close cylinder valve and check connections).

Does the heater require a battery for ignition?

Yes, the piezo igniter uses a battery (typically AA). Replace it when the spark becomes weak.

Where can I find spare parts for the GGH 30 R?

Contact Güde customer service or authorized dealers. Common spare parts include the burner nozzle, thermocouple, gas valve, and igniter.

Energy Efficiency Class A

Operating pressure P

Gas valve

Fan

Piezo ignition

Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder valve and attach the gas hose to the pressure regulator.

Put the mains cable into a suitable socket.

Open the gas cylinder valve.

Switch on the device with the toggle switch and check from the intake side whether the fan is rotating.

Keep the gas valve knob pressed for approx. 10 seconds until the thermal fuse has warmed up and keeps the gas supply open. Then ignite using the piezo button.

Close the gas cylinder valve to switch off. Then let the fan run for 1-2 minutes to blow out any non-combusted gas and cool down the device.

Switch off the device at the toggle switch and disconnect it from the gas cylinder by unscrewing the pressure regulator from the gas cylinder valve.

Any damaged or disposed electric or electronic devices must be delivered to appropriate collection centres.

Operation

An unpleasant smell may be produced when the device is used for the first time in some cases. This is however completely harmless and will disappear completely over time.

Before each use, check the device and its connecting parts and accessories for damage.

Power on:

1) Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder valve.
2) Connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator.
3) Connect the gas hose to the heater.
4) Open the gas cylinder valve.
5) Check screw caps with leak detection spray or soapy water for possible gas leakage. Tighten again if necessary.
6) Put the mains cable into a suitable socket.
7) Press the On/Off switch to switch on the device.
8) From the intake side, check whether the fan is rotating.
9) If the fan is turning, keep the gas valve button pressed and at the same time press the ignition button repeatedly until the burner ignites.

7) Store the device and the gas cylinders as described in the chapter on storage

Handling of gas bottles.

Make sure the gas bottles are used and stored in rooms with sufficient air inlet and outlet.

A leaking gas bottle may reduce the share of oxygen in the inhaled air and therefore represent a risk of suffocation.

Before using the device, always check that the pressure controller seal is correctly fitted and working properly.

Before use, make sure the gas bottle contains gas designed for the work being done.

Gas bottles must always be safely fixed in a vertical position on a wall support or on a specially manufactured gas bottle cart.

The liquid gas cylinder must be changed in a well-ventilated room or outdoors, and away from open flames (cigarettes, candles or other devices with open flames).

A gas cylinder with a pressure regulator attached must not be moved.

Close the gas bottle valve after use.

The gas bottle valve must be closed during transport.

Smell of gas or suspect leakage

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, do not use the device. If the device is in use, the gas supply must be shut off immediately. Immediately open windows and doors. Do not press any electrical switches (e.g. light switches), do not use a telephone or similar and do not use any naked flames or sources of ignition! The device must be checked and any faults remedied before it can be used again.

Emergency procedure

• Stop the gas supply to the device.
• Move out of the danger zone immediately and make sure that no other persons are in the danger zone.

Disposal

Do not dispose of electrical appliances in household waste; use the local collection points. Ask your local authority where the collection points are to be found. If electrical equipment is disposed of in an uncontrolled manner, weathering can lead to dangerous substances entering the groundwater and from there the food chain, or the flora and fauna can be poisoned for years. If you replace the device with a new one, the seller is legally obliged at the least to take back the old one to be disposed of free of charge.

Transport packaging disposal

The packaging protects the machine against damage during transport. Packaging materials are usually chosen based on environment aspects and waste treatment principles and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging into material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste production. Parts of packagings (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous for children.

Risk of suffocation!

Keep parts of the packagings out of reach of children and dispose them as soon as possible.
