FITTING REGULATOR TO CYLINDER VALVE
The Safelok Valve and Connector have been developed for ease of use and enhanced safety.
The thermal Sensitive black hand wheel connector has a quick action right hand thread for easy
connection to the valve.
The valve on your gas cylinder should be a Safelock type and not a Clip-on, eg. Kosan type.
Have your gas bottle supplier fit a Safelok valve if necessary.
Once the handwheel has been firmly tightened, your heater is ready for use.

Safety devices
the heater you have purchased is fitted with safety devices which come on in the event of malfunc-
tioning, 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, caus-
ing the heater to go off. Check the expiry date and state of the rubber tube regularly. If it is past its expiry
date or has been damaged, contact our customer service centre for your nearest Authorised Delonghi
Service Agent.
Avoid bending or constricting the rubber tube when the pressure regulator is connected to the gas cylinder.
Turning the gas heater on
Turn the gas on as previously described, depress the CONTROL SWITCH on top of the heater and hold
down for a few seconds then turn to position (small flame).
Check that the pilot flame has ignited and if not, repeat the operation.
When the pilot light is lit hold the Control switch down for 20-25 seconds (if released before this the centre
panel and pilot light may go out).
After releasing the Control switch you can now regulate the heat by turning the switch to:
•Pos. minimum output (1400 W)
•Pos. maximum output (4000 W)
•Pos. medium output (2600 W)

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. Adequate ventilation
should considerably reduce the possibility of condensation occurring. Never use in bedrooms,
bathrooms or when asleep as adequate ventilation cannot be assured. Do not use in rooms small-
er than, 18 sq metres. Ensure ventilation is more than 75 cm2, ie. window must be open in room
which heater is being operated.
Ensure that the heater is kept free of dust. When not in use the heater should be covered and
stored in a dust-free place. Stains on the exterior should be removed with a soapy solution when
the heater is cold. Dry with a polishing cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners which will damage the
paint finish. Refer any maintenance to your local authorised service agent. Servicing should be
carried out carried out regularly. If in doubt contact your local authorised service agent.

fies the heater appliances (fireguards) regulations. The grille, which can be hot to the touch, is to
prevent risk of fire or injury from burns and no part of it should be removed. It does not give full
protection for young children, the infirm or animals. Do not use with unsupervised children or
