Once the reducer has been properly fitted, place the bottle in the compartment provided for this
purpose in your mobile heater. Avoid bending the hose.
Regulatory conditions for installation
The current European Regulation recommends that the minimum dimension of the room where
the appliance is placed should not be less than 60m3 for living rooms and 30m3 for other types
of rooms, and should not be used in high-rise apartments, attics, bathrooms, bedrooms and
basements.
Only use this heater in places where there is sufficient air circulation. To ensure optimal air
circulation, there must be two ventilation openings of at least 25 cm2 per kX/h of heat (minimum
105 cm2 opening - 1/2 at the top and 1/2 at the bottom of the room).
Do not use in vehicles such as caravans or motorhomes.
Objects that may cause fire should not be placed on the device (special care with curtains,
fabrics, papers, inflammable materials, etc...)

4
Special care must also be taken not to place objects with the same characteristics as above
less than 1 meter from the front of the appliance while it is in use, as well as at distances of less
than 0.5 m. and 0.2 m. the sides, top and back respectively.
Consult, under any circumstances, your Authorized Technical Service about any doubts you
may have regarding the location of the appliance.
The appliance must not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities or without the necessary experience and knowledge, except when
instructed on its operation or under the supervision of someone responsible for their safety.
Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance.

8. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the knob slowly clockwise until the
burner goes out; the pilot flame is always on; at this point, the heater turns on and off
automatically, maintaining the desired temperature.
ATTENTION: the numbers on the handle are just a position reference.
To turn off the device:
To switch off the heater, close the gas by turning the gear reducer lever to the closed position
(fig. 4).
This heater is for domestic use only.
*If you cannot turn on the heater (in the electronic lighter version) it is possible that the lighter
battery is dead.
You should replace it according to figure 6.
Ventilation
This appliance releases the combustion products in the place where it is operating, so it is
essential that this place has sufficient ventilation, that is, permanent air intakes are correctly
ventilated.
The passage of gas will be interrupted by means of a safety device, if the environmental levels
of CO and CO₂established by the current regulations are exceeded, and in this situation, the
appliance is completely switched off.
BUTANE gas information
Butane gas is non-toxic, but breathing it causes nausea, dizziness, headaches, and drowsiness.
Thus, if for any unusual reason there is a gas leak, you must immediately close the reducer in
the bottle, then ensure good ventilation in the place (eg, open doors and windows), ensure the
absence of any flame or ignition source and notify the Technical Service to carry out the
inspection of the device.
Lighting and safety indicator pilot
This pilot has a dual function:
- Switch on the heating panel.
- Safety in the cut off of the gas supply if the proportion of oxygen in the environment drops to
values below the limits established by the Regulation.
4. PRACTICAL ADVICE

6
This pilot has been subject to strict compensation, which is why it should not be handled under
any circumstances.
Device maintenance
This appliance, designed for long-term use, needs minimal maintenance and care.
At the end of the season, or if the appliance is out of use for a certain period, it is advisable to
cover it with a plastic bag or cloth and place it in a dry place, protected from humidity.
It is advisable to carry out a periodic inspection of the appliance (at least every 3 years) carried
out by an accredited technician, and especially when the appliance has not been used for a
long period.
This mobile heater is made of painted cooking pieces in frame. It can be cleaned using non-
abrasive products.
Metal braid lyre (Flexible tube)
Regularly check the good condition of the lyre.
The metal braided lyre that equips this device has a validity of 5 years.
EXTRA USE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
A- Do not use the heater in basements, bedrooms, bathrooms, attics or attic.
B- Do not use the heater for prolonged or permanent heating.
C- Do not move the heater while it is on.
D- At the end of winter remove the gas bottle from the heater and store it in a plastic bag (for
example the one inside the package to protect your burner from dust.
E- Do not store gas bottles indoors, in basements or in a poorly ventilated place.
INFORMATION NOTE
- The first time you turn on the heater, you may detect smoke and a slight burning smell. This
will not be the case for subsequent lighting. This situation is normal and is due to the presence
of residues from the manufacturing process. On subsequent lighting the smoke will disappear.
- There may be some clicks during the heater operation, which are due to the heating of the
plates.
- With the use of the heater, a darkening of the reflector plate may occur due to the heat coming
from the burner flame, this darkening is only aesthetic and does not represent a problem of
safety or operation.
These situations are not considered manufacturing defects.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical changes to the devices whenever it is
deemed appropriate.

Attention: On the first lighting and every time the bottle is replaced, the pilot flame will
need more time to ignite, so the knob will need to be pressed longer before the pilot
flame ignites correctly due to the air present in the gas circuit. Check the stability of the
pilot flame as shown in fig. 7 and 8.
Elimination:
The packaging and packaging materials are made in total respect for the environment, using
100% recyclable materials that can be assimilated to urban waste.
At the end of its useful life, the product must not be disposed of with normal urban waste.
Check with local authorities for options for ecological waste disposal.
