SALTON GAS HEATER

2
Thank you for purchasing the SALTON Gas Heater. Each unit is manufactured to ensure safety
and reliability and has been approved by the LPGSASA. Before using the unit for the first time,
please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
WARNING:
Use only LPG with this heater.
I.e. Liquefied Petroleum Gas
This appliance can be used with a gas cylinder of up to 15 kg, fitted with a left hand thread.
The heater will only work when fitted with the supplied regulator.
Amalgamated Appliances recommend the use of LPG from AFROX or TOTAL.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any appliance, precautions should always be followed. Please read the instructions
carefully as they are there for your benefit and safety.
The heater must be turned “ON” and “OFF” at the gas cylinder only.
Never attempt to open any part of the heater or dismantle the controls. The supplier cannot
accept responsibility for any possible unit failure, should this instruction have been ignored.
Never use the heater if it is damaged in any way.
Never use a naked flame (matches, lighter, candle) to look for gas leaks.
Before using a new cylinder of gas, check with the gas filler that all the gas has been
removed before filling with LPG. Do not use a cylinder that has been previously filled with
Nitrogen. Any traces of Nitrogen will cause the heater not to start or the pilot light not to
operate.
The gas cylinder must always be in an upright position. Do not turn the cylinder upside down
in order to empty it completely.
Always disconnect the appliance from the gas cylinder when not in use for long periods of
time.
This appliance consumes oxygen when in use. Always ensure adequate ventilation for the
effective performance of the appliance as well as the safety of the people in the area in which
the heater is being used.
The flexible gas hose must be checked periodically for signs of cracking.
If the hose needs to be replaced, ensure that the replacement hose complies with BS3212 or
SABS 1156-2 standards and is approved for use by the LPGSASA.
Do not use this appliance outdoors and always use the heater in an upright position. Always
face the heater to the centre of the room.
Do not cover the heater with any type of cloth, clothing, foreign objects or block the airflow in
any way.
Ensure that the appliance is not too close to curtains or fabric or any other flammable
material.
Do not move the heater while it is in operation. Ensure that the flame is properly extinguished
before moving.
If a gas leak is suspected (there is a smell of gas), turn the gas OFF at the cylinder
immediately. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE REGULATOR.
Replacement of the regulator must only be carried out by an authorised dealer and must be
replaced with the same type and standard of regulator that complies with SABS 1237.
This appliance is intended for household use only. Do not use for any purpose other than its
intended function.
Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near children
Do not use the heater to cook or heat food or fats.
Do not leave the heater unattended when “ON”.
Do not use the heater unless the safety guard in front of the ceramic panels is firmly in place.

In the event of BURN BACK (i.e. when the flame burns back into the jet), immediately
turn the gas supply off at the cylinder. Ensure the flame is extinguished; thereafter you
can relight the heater as described below. Should the situation repeat itself, we
recommend that you contact the supplier or an approved service centre.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT CAUTION
Turn the gas “ON” and “OFF” at the gas cylinder control valve only.
The Rotary Control Button does NOT turn the gas off.
1. Unpack the heater and remove all protective wrapping.
2. Ensure that the hose is in perfect condition and then proceed as follows:
Unclip the gas cylinder-retaining panel from the back of the heater body.
Place the full LPG cylinder beside the rear of the heater and attach the regulator to the outlet
valve. Ensure that the valve is clean and free of any obstructions or foreign matter.
Ensure that the lock nut on the regulator is fully tightened by hand. Do not use a spanner to
tighten.
Turn the gas supply on at the cylinder’s Control Valve.
Before first use it is advisable to check the connection between the gas cylinder and the
regulator for gas leaks as described below. Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks.
If there are no gas leaks, place the gas cylinder into the rear of the heater body making sure
that the cylinder is placed in such a manner that the hose is not trapped or blocked in any
way.
Fit the rear heater panel back onto the body ensuring that it is clipped on to both sides of the
heater.
TO TEST FOR GAS LEAKS
Extinguish all naked flames (open flames).
Turn the heater “OFF” at the cylinder.
Check all the hose connections.
Slowly turn the gas ON and brush all the connections with a cloth moistened with soapy water
or detergent.
A gas leak will form bubbles in the areas where the solution has been applied.
If a gas leak is detected, turn the gas cylinder control valve OFF and inform the nearest
service agent.
Do not use the heater again until an approved/authorised service agent has inspected it.
Do not smoke or bring naked flames near the gas heater whilst testing for gas leakage.
