Q.C.C. CYLINDER CONNECTION DEVICE
Screw the coupling
nut of regulator
into the cylinder
value outlet.
7. The hose assembly should be properly located out of
pathways where people may trip over it. The hose
must be protected from contact with hot or sharp
surfaces both during use and while in storage. The hose
assembly should be visually inspected prior to each use
of the appliance. If excessive abrasion or wear is
evident, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to
operating the appliance. The replacement hose
assembly may be obtained from the distributor.
8. DO NOT use any pressure regulator or hose
assembly other than those supplied with the appliance.
Replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly
must be those specified. Replacement parts may
be obtained from the distributor.
9. Installation and use of this appliance must conform with
New Zealand Standard 5601 “Gas Installations”.

Any modification to the appliance not described in the
installation instructions may compromise the safety of this
appliance. Special concern is as follows:
(1) DO NOT bypass thermocouple safety burner;
(2) DO NOT operate appliance without the guards;
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung
from the appliance, or placed on or near the appliance.
The area above the burner may be extremely hot.
Direct contact with these metal surfaces should be avoided
in order to prevent burns or clothing ignition.
Appliance specifications can be found on the data label.
14. The appliance has been designed with several safety
features which include a tip over switch and a flame
safeguard system which means if the pilot goes out the
unit will automatically turn off.
REGULATOR SAFETY FEATURE
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas cylinder
to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature included
that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can
inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a
gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas
using the appliance control knob before you turn on the gas
cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates,
the appliance will operate with reduced output as gas flow is
restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator
safety device:
1. Turn gas cylinder valve off.
2. Turn appliance off.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
6. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
7. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do not
put excessive force on the valve at the full open
position, to avoid damaging the valve.
8. Light the appliance as per the instructions provided.

TEST FIRING THE APPLIANCE
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
TEST FIRING THE APPLIANCE
Test fire appliance, following the lighting instructions on. Leak test all gas connections with soapy water. Soap
bubbles indicate gas leakage. DO NOT use a match to test for gas leaks.
WARNING: White smoke may appear around the burner during the first minute of the initial firing.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Possible Causes
Pilot will not light • Gas valve may be OFF
• LPG cylinder empty
• Air in supply system
• Loose connection
Warning: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Any modifications or adjustments made to product without prior authority from the manufacturer will void any warranty
claims. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this
equipment.
Solution
• Turn the gas valve ON
• Refill LPG cylinder
• Purge air from lines
• Check all fittings
Pilot will not stay on • Debris around pilot
• Loose connection
• Lack of gas pressure
• Gas leak in line
• Clean dirty area
• Tighten connection
• LPG cylinder is near empty
• Check connections with soapy
water solution
Pilot will not light • Gas pressure is low
• Control knob not ON
• Pilot light assembly bent or not
in correct location
• LPG cylinder is near empty
• Turn knob to ON
• Contact service agent
Warning: White smoke may appear round the burner head
during the first minutes of initial firing.
1. Check and ensure that an AA battery
is inside the ignition chamber and
has power. Ensure the anode (+)
faces outside.
2. Ensure that the control knob is OFF.
Slowly open the gas cylinder valve.
3. Push in and turn the control knob
anti-clockwise to PILOT position for
30 seconds whilst simultaneously
pushing the igniter several times
until the pilot flame ignites. Check for pilot flame through
glass tube. If the pilot flame does not ignite immediately,
turn control knob to OFF and wait 2 minutes between
ignition attempts for gas to dissipate.
4. If the pilot is alight, keep
control knob pressed for 15
seconds then turn the control
knob to ‘LOW’.
5. For maximum heat turn
control knob to ‘HIGH’.
6. To turn heater off, turn control
knob to ‘OFF’.
7. Turn off the valve on the gas cylinder and disconnect
the cylinder.
Note: if the burner flames goes out accidentally, turn off
the appliance and wait at least 5 minutes to let the gas
dissipate before relighting. Repeat steps 2 – 4.
Allow at least one minute to purge air through to pilot after
connection to a new cylinder.
Note: If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly it should not be used until serviced by a qualified person.

SAFE APPLIANCE LOCATIONS
This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural
convection.
Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and
no overhead cover (see Example 1).
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two
walls (see Example 2 & 3).
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls,
the following will apply:
at least 25% of the total wall area is completely open, and
at least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted (see Example 4 & 5).
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total wall area shall be and remain open and unrestricted.
The following figures are diagrammatical representations of outdoor areas. Rectangular areas have been used in these
figures - the same principles apply to any other shaped area.
