SECURING A GAS CYLINDER
1. Position a gas cylinder inside the tank housing.
2. Stick cylinder restraint straps together as RIGHT photo illustrated.
The straps must be in a proper tightness for the gas cylinder.
Caution: Please take care that the cylinder restraint straps. DO NOT strain the regulator assembly.
LEAK TESTING
NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
NEVER LEAK TEST WHILE SMOKING.
The gas connections on this appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment.
This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leaks and an immediate check is required if the
smell of gas is detected.
•Make a soap solution using 1 part of liquid washing-up liquid to 3 parts water. The soap solution can
be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the leak tested points shown in the figure.
•The valve of the gas cylinder should be in the OFF position at this point of the leak test. Once the
soapy solution is applied to the gas connections, the valve of the gas cylinder needs to be turned to
the ON position.
•Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if a leak is present.
•In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and
recheck.

MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the following
maintenance activities on a regular basis:
•Keep exterior surfaces clean.
•Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
•While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all
times. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must be replaced.
•Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulation air passageways clean. Signs
of possible blockage include:
•Gas odour with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
•Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
•Heater glow is excessively uneven.
•Heater makes popping noises.
•Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the heater
and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed
air may help clear away smaller particles.
•Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. If any carbon deposits develop, clean the dome and
burner with warm soapy water.
Note: In environments with a high salt content (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more
quickly than normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them.
SERVICING
•Please consult your supplier for servicing this appliance and replacement of its parts. The servicing
of the appliance shall be carried out only by authorised personnel.
•Do not use unauthorised parts or components for this appliance, only use original equipment
replacement parts and components. The use of unauthorised parts or components will void the
warranty and can create unsafe condition.
STORAGE
There is no limitation on the storage of the appliance indoors provided that the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the appliance.
Between uses or before storage:
•Turn the control dial OFF
•Turn the gas cylinder OFF
•Disconnect the gas bottle.
Store the heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain,
sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris). If desired, cover to protect exterior surfaces and to prevent build up
in air passages.
Note: Wait until heater is cool before covering.
