HEATER SET UP.
After the heater has been removed from its packaging, remove the back
panel from inside the back cavity.
Fold out the gas bottle tray extension before positioning your gas bottle
Place the filled gas cylinder into the back of the heater with the valve outlet
facing outwards.
Connect the gas regulator onto the outlet of the gas cylinder valve.
IMPORTANT TEST for leaks:
This must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free from any open flames
or other sources of ignition.
With the regulator connected to the cylinder.
Brush all hose connections, pipe connections to the gas valve, regulator
connection to the cylinder and gas cylinder valve with a 50:50 solution of
detergent and water. A stream of bubbles forming is an indication of a leak.
If a leak is found, turn off the valve on the regulator, disconnect the regulator
from the gas cylinder and remove the gas cylinder to a cool, outdoor well-
ventilated area. Contact your Dealer or gas supplier for assistance.
DO NOT USE THE HEATER IF A LEAK IS FOUND.
DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAMED FOR LEAK TESTING.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE PRESENCE
OF A GAS LEAK.
After leak-testing is satisfactorily carried out, fit the rear panel onto the
heater. It may be necessary to twist the cylinder slightly to allow the
regulator and hose to fit inside the back panel without kinking the hose.
Note: the heater incorporates several safety devices that will shut down the
heater in unsafe conditions.
The first is in the case of accidental flame failure, the gas heater will shut down
automatically.
The second device will turn off the heater if there is insufficient oxygenation of the
atmosphere in which the heater is being used. Adequate ventilation must be
maintained for the safe and efficient operation of your heater.

Lighting instruction:
The heater can be regulated to three different heat settings: 1-LOW, 2-MEDIUM
and 3-HIGH. Ignition mode: piezo ignition.
•Open the valve on the Gas Regulator.
•Press down and turn the control knob anticlockwise to 1-LOW position and
hold down for 30 seconds. You must fully purge all the air from the gas hose
and the and the internal pipework of the heater before ignition will take place.
•While still pressing down the control knob, press repeatedly on the ignition
button until the pilot light (at the bottom of the burner) ignites. Continue to
hold the control knob down for 30 seconds this is to fully heat the
thermocouple probe. When releasing the button, if the pilot flame goes out,
repeat the above operation.
IGNITION
LOW
MEDIUM
Note: On first lighting a heater from new or after a period of non use, it may be
necessary to hold the control knob down for a longer time than stated above in
order to allow gas to flow to the pilot and purge air from the system.
Once the heater is alight at the 1-LOW setting, depress the control knob slightly
and turn to 2-MEDIUM or 3-HIGH position, this will light the second and third
panel respectively.
To turn off the heater, return the control knob to the START position and close the
valve on the Gas Regulator. The heater can only be turned off by closing the
valve on the Gas Regulator. It cannot be turned off by the control knob on
the heater. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT OF CE APPROVAL

Changing the cylinder:
Disconnect the Gas Regulator from the cylinder and allow the heater to cool fully
before removing and replacing the cylinder. Do not attempt to remove the
regulator from the gas bottle while the heater is alight.
Maintenance:
•Before maintenance and cleaning, the gas regulator must be disconnected
from the cylinder and the heater should be cold. Do not attempt to clean the
heater while it is in use.
•Your heater should be checked annually by qualified Gas Safe Engineer for
safe operation and to detect any faults.
•If any faults are detected in use, stop using the heater and contact your
dealer for advice or a Gas Safe Engineer.
•Periodically clean the exterior and storage area of your heater to remove
dust and lint build-up on the surfaces of the ceramic plaque. Do not knock
these plaques as they may become very fragile in use.
•Do not use abrasive products to clean the heater.
•Watch the pilot light while it is in operation. It should burn steadily. If it flickers
or has a yellow flame, the heater should be checked for correct operation.
•If any parts need replacing, they must be replaced only with correct parts
supplied by the original manufacturer. The use of incorrect or substitute parts
may be dangerous and will void any warranty.
Technical assistance before calling for further help
The heater doesn't light:
•Check the gas cylinder is full
•Check the regulator is properly attached and the valve on the regulator is
turned on.
•Check that the instructions have been followed correctly.
If this happens after the cylinder has been changed it could be due to:
•Air in the cylinder -hold the control knob down for a longer period of time
until the pilot and main burner light. Switch to the 3-HIGH setting.
•The cylinder may have been excessively cold. Allow the cylinder to reach
room temperature before attempting to start the heater.
The heater turns off by itself:
•If the heater turns off by itself after continuous working, repeat the operation,
following the instructions faithfully.
•If it goes out soon after lighting, check for drafts or for the gas cylinder
running out of gas.
•If it goes out after 30 minutes or so, it is signaling that it is operating in a
badly ventilated area. Open a window or door to ventilate the area and re-
ignite.

At MAX setting the Heater requires a
MINIMUM of 52.5 Sq Cm of ventilation
both at a high and low level within the
room,
YOUR HEATER CONSUMES
OXYGEN WHILE IT IS WORKING.
FOR THAT REASON ADEQUATE
VENTLATION SHOULD BE
PROVIDED IN ROOMS IN WHICH
THE HEATERS IS USED. THIS
ENSURES THE REMOVAL OF
PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION AND
ALLOWS THE ENTRY OF
REPLACEMENT AIR.
