Spare copies of this leaflet can be obtained from your dealer.
1Always use heater in accordance with
instructions supplied with each heater.
Keep Instructions in a safe place.
2Do not place clothes or other materials
on the heater, as apart from the danger
of fire their presence could affect the effi-
cient working of the appliance.
3Do not position heater close to chairs and
fabrics.
4Do not move heater from room to room
when it is lit.
5Do not position heater alongside a wall or
near curtains, etc. Always face heater
towards centre of room.
Special care should be taken if the hea-
ter is on a surface where it can move or
twist on its wheels or castors if knocked by
a child or dog, etc.
6A LEAK WILL SMELL
If a leak is suspected, turn the gas off at
cylinder. Do not disconnect the regulator.
Extinguish all naked lights. Check all con-
nections. Slowly turn the gas on and brush
the connections with soapy water or liquid
detergent - a gas leak will form bubbles. If
a leak is found turn the gas off and inform
your Dealer. DO NOT use the heater again
until it has been inspected by your Dealer.
If the cylinder valve appears to be
leaking when turned off, refit the Black
Branch Cap or Orange Valve Cap.
-This appliance MUST NOT be used in basements, high rise flats, bathrooms or bedrooms
and in rooms having volume less than 15m3(30m3in living rooms) for three burner models,
18m3(36m3in living rooms) for two burner models.
-Be sure installation is complying to local standard.
-Do not install the appliance in a room which might contain gas, oil or sulphur, or near sour-
ces of heat.
-The appliance should not be used at altitudes exceeding 1500 m. as the analyzer may be
triggered off causing the appliance to switch off unexpectedly.
Ventilation

SCREW ON REGULATOR
1. Connecting cylinder and turning the gas on
aMake sure that the black plastic cap is
screwed onto outlet of full cylinder.
Ensure valve operates freely by turning
anticlockwise to open and clockwise to
close. Firmly close valve by turning
handwheel clockwise. Remove black
plastic cap from valve outlet and store in
a safe place for future use.
bMake sure black neoprene washer is in
place on the regulator iniet. Regularly
examine, and if unduly compressed or
damaged, replace. Do not replace with
red branch cap washer.
cSupport regulator, screw union nut onto
cylinder valve by turning nut anti-clockwise
(left-hand thread). Tighten just over hand
tight using Calor Spanner. After fitting the
regulator it may have assumed a position
out of the horizontal. This is not important.
Do not attempt to twist regulator.
dPlace cylinder in cabinet so that the cylin-
der valve is facing into the compartment.
Open cylinder valve by turning
handwheel anticlockwise. Make sure that
all connections are gas tight, by brushing
with soapy water or liquid detergent (a
gas leak will form bubbles). Now refer to
the lighting instructions on the heater.
aClose cylinder valve by turning
handwheel clockwise. Check that the
heating elements and pilot are out.
bOpen back the appliance, remove cylinder
and place close to heater (do not strain
hose). Support regulator, use a Calor
Spanner to disconnect regulator/ cylinder
valve union by turning nut clockwise (left-
hand thread). Care must be taken to ensu-
re that the outlet connection on the regula-
tor is not damaged or strained. Screw black
plastic cap onto valve outlet. Place empty
cylinder in a safe place.
2. Turning off and disconnecting the cylinder
Where the screw on regulator is used in conjuction with a switch-on adaptor refer to
instructions supplied with adaptor.

Gas Bottle
Gas Bottle with 15 kg of maximum capacity can be installed. Changing of gas bottle must not
be carried out in the presence of a naked flame. Use the gas bottle always in upright position.
If a screw on regulator is used ensure that the rgulator washer is present and in good condi-
tion - replace if any doubt. To place the bottle in position, remove the rear panel which faces
the inside during transport, by unfastening the screws; than put the bottle in position and
replace the panel. Do not turn the bottle upside down to use completely its content.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cylinder valve
If heater does not completely extinguish, including pilot, when gas is turned off, do not remo-
ve regulator. Return valve to open position and leave heater alight, which is perfectly safe,
until attended to by the gas supplier.
Regulators, hoses and clips
Check that tubing is completely over the nozzles at each end of the
tubing and that it is held firmly in place by hose clips. Examine flexible
tubing regularly and get your dealer to fit new tubing 400 mm long
complying to local standard, if perished, worn or damaged. In any
case replace the tube every 5 years. L.P.G. attacks natural rubber - use
only tubing to B.S. 3212 Type 2 supplied by your dealer.
When connecting the regulator to the container avoid undue twisting of the flexible hose.
A regulator to B.S. 3016 set at 28 mbar (11,2 in w.g.) for butane must be connected to the
appliance with the above tubing, using suitable hose clips.
Ventilation
Use only in a well ventilated room.
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.
The following table shows the smallest size of room suita-
ble for the heater and the ventilation which must be provided. The heater may be used for
short periods in smaller rooms.
Maintenance
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 finishes. Refer any major maintenance to your Local Authorised Dealer
Major servicing should be carried out every 2 - 3 years. If in doubt refer to your authorised
dealer.

Operating instructions:
The gas is turned on and off at the cylinder. The heat input and spark for ignition are control-
led by the knob situated on the top right hand side.
Lighting the heater:
1Turn on the gas cylinder by either:
aTurning the cylinder valve anti-clockwise where a screwed cylinder connection is used.
or b Turn the black switch clockwise so that it points towards the flame
symbol where a switch-on system is used (Model No. 182H).
or c Turn the switch anti-clockwise to the ON (60’ clock) position (Model
No. 541101).
2Fully depress the grey button ( ) for 10 seconds and push 2 or 3 times the red button ( )
(if pilot flame does not ignite, repeat the above mentioned operations). Continue to fully
depress the grey button for a further 20 seconds to allow the thermocouple probe to heat
up, then release.
3Turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise on position 6 and allow all three burners to heat
up.
When the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob
clockwise until the side burners turn off.
In this way the appliance will maintain the desired room temperature automatically chan-
ging from maximum input (❑❑❑)tolow input (❑)and viceversa.
Turning off the heater:
The heater will only be totally “OFF” when the supply of gas from the cylinder has been turned
“OFF” after use the appliance must be turned “OFF” at the valve.
aTurning the cylinder valve clockwise where a screwed connection is used.
or b Turning the black switch anti-clockwise so that it points in the horizon-
tal position if a switch-on system is used (Model No. 182H).
or c Turn the switch clockwise to the OFF position (Model No. 541101).
DO NOT ATTEMPT to relight until FIVE minutes have elapsed.
Warning for switch-on system:
when the heat is alight, never turn the switch on the cylinder to the disconnect position. Wait
until heater and pilot go out, then and only then, should the switch be turned to the discon-
nect position if the cylinder requires changing.
FOR MODEL No. 182H
If the black switch of your regulator is fitted with a centre button this
must be depressed before turning to the disconnect position.
FOR MODEL No. 541101
With the regulator switch in the OFF position, lift the disconnect lever and lift
the regulator from the cylinder valve.
It is dangerous to switch to the disconnect position when the heater is alight.
