E - UTILISATION
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS:
DO NOT install the appliance next to a wall, curtains or a
sofa or armchair.
DO NOT cover the appliance with clothes or other objects.
DO NOT move the appliance when in operation.
The appliance must ALWAYS be directed to the centre of
the room.
The appliance must be put in a dry place.
This appliance protecting grid is designed to prevent
fire hazards or burns and no part shall be permanently
removed.
THE GRID DOES NOT TOTALLY PROTECT YOUNG CHILDREN
OR THE DISABLED.
E - 1 - Igniting the appliance:
Note:
Gas opening and closing controls are located on gas
bottle and/or on pressure reducing valve.
Ignition spark and gas inlet control are actuated from the
control panel located in the appliance top right section. (fig. 1
item 1) and (fig. 5 items A and B)
1. Open bottle cock and/or pressure reducing valve handle and
carry out a leak test.
2. Press control button (A) for 10 seconds to allow the gas to
reach the safety pilot burner (fig. 1 and 6 item 2).
3. Push the flame ignition button (B) next to the (
) symbol
all the way down several times while holding down the
control button (A) for 10 seconds. The thermocouple is
activated and the safety valve does not cut off gas feed.
Release control button (A)
4. Check whether the appliance did light up. If not, repeat the
procedure from step 2.
Note:
Some air may be trapped in the gas line. This will prevent
the appliance from lighting up during the first attempt. In this
case, it is necessary to repeat the ignition procedure several
times until the safety pilot burner lights up.
During appliance operation, the safety pilot burner must
remain permanently lit in order to ensure correct operation of
the atmosphere analyser.
During the first setting to service, operate the appliance at
maximum power for at least 15 minutes in order to eliminate
the typical new appliance smell due to the presence of
protecting substances applied to the component parts.
Ventilate the room during this operation.
E - 2 - SHUTTING DOWN THE APPLIANCE:
- Close bottle cock and/or gas pressure reducing valve handle.
THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ATMOSPHERE
ANALYSER DEVICE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF
THE APPLIANCE SHOULD THE ROOM CONTAIN TOO HIGH A
CARBON DIOXIDE PERCENTAGE (Co2).
IN THIS CASE, THOROUGHLY VENTILATE THE ROOM,
OTHERWISE THE APPLIANCE WILL NOT RELIGHT.
F - REMOVING OR REPLACING THE GAS BOTTLE
- Check that gas bottle cock and/or pressure reducing valve
handle is in the closed position.
- Open appliance rear plate (fig. 4 item B) and remove the
bottle from its housing, taking care not to pull or bend the
hose.
- Disconnect pressure reducing valve from gas bottle.
- Install the new gas bottle and carry out a leak test as
described under paragraphs D-1 and D-2.
- Check tightness in compliance with indications of paragraph
D-2).
D - CONNECTING THE GAS BOTTLE
If an empty bottle is in place, read paragraph F- “Removing or
replacing gas bottle”.
To install or remove a gas bottle, always operate in a well-
ventilated place and never in presence of a flame, spark or heat
source (cigarette, electric appliance, etc.).
The heater is equipped with a panel to protect the gas cylinder,
which should be mounted on three sides behind the heater
after connecting the cylinder (fig.4 letter B).
To attach the panel to the heater, place the panel tabs in the
body openings, as shown in fig.4 letter A, and insert the panel
in the opposite direction to the one indicated by the arrow
on the panel, in such a way as to lock the panel tabs into the
heater body (repeat this step on the other side of the heater).
To remove the panel from the heater, slide the side of the panel
in the direction indicated by the arrow and detach the panel
from the body (fig.4 letter B). Repeat this step for the three
sides of the panel.
D - 1- Installing gas bottle:
- Position the gas bottle on the floor behind the appliance.
- Check whether bottle cock and/or pressure reducing valve
handle is in “closed” position.
- Screw in or engage pressure reducing valve to gas bottle or
gas bottle cock (fig. 3 item B).
- Install gas bottle through appliance rear so that the
hose does not touch appliance metal panels and is not
excessively bent or pinched.
- Check that the hose runs normally and is neither bent nor
pulled.
- Install appliance rear plate (fig. 4 item A).
D - 2 - Tightness:
In case of leak, appliance gas supply must be shut down
using gas bottle cock and/or pressure reducing valve
handle.
Do not carry out leak tests with a flame, use a gas leak
detecting liquid.
- Apply gas leak detecting liquid to bottle/pressure reducing
valve/hose/appliance unions.
- Open the gas inlet (bottle cock and/or pressure reducing
valve handle) (fig. 4).
- If bubbles appear, this means that there are gas leaks.
- To remove the leak, tighten hose nuts and/or hose clamps
if any. If a part is defective, have it replaced. The appliance
should not be returned to service until the leak is removed.
- Close gas bottle cock.
Important:
In case of gas leak or odour, immediately close bottle cock
and/or pressure reducing valve handle. Enhance room
ventilation by opening the windows. Ask a specialised
technician to check the appliance and proper bottle
connection.
A leak test should be carried out at least once a year and
whenever the gas bottle is changed.
