1. Installation or replacement of the battery in
the ignition cassette (fig. 14)
- Press the catch (A) and fully remove the ignition cassette
(14) from its housing, whilst supporting it to avoid accidental
disconnection of the connection wire.
- Turn the cassette over, remove the old battery (if applicable).
- Insert the battery (type LR 03 / AAA) into its housing in accor-
dance with the polarity identification marked on the case ("+"
to "+" and "-" to "-").
- Reinstall the ignition cassette (14), ensuring that it is proper-
ly pushed home inside its housing.
Instructions for electrical and electronic equipment
waste
:
Do not throw worn batteries in the bin. Leave them in a contai-
ner provided for recycling.
Remove batteries before discarding the equipment.
This recycling symbol means that this appliance is
subject to separate collection. At the end of its use-
ful life, the appliance must be disposed of correctly.
The appliance must not be disposed of with unsor-
ted municipal waste. Do not dump, do not incinera-
te: the presence of certain hazardous materials in
the electrical and electronic equipment may be
harmful to the environment and have potential
effects on human health. If you wish to dispose of
your appliance, please take it to a waste recovery
centre designed for this purpose (drop-off centre).
Contact your local authorities for information.
Separate collection of waste favours reuse, recy-
cling or other forms of recovery of recyclable mate-
rials contained in waste.
2. Operating your heater
2-1. Lighting the burner using the electronic ignition (fig. 19)
- If the lantern is not in use (Sun Force Advantage Deluxe),
switch on the gas supply using the cylinder valve (fig. 13-A)
or the regulator lever (fig. 13-B) and reset if necessary.
- Switch on the patio heater by turning the control knob (21)
anticlockwise as far as it will go.
- Press the ignition button (B) and, at the same time, press the
control knob (21).
- As soon as the burner is lit: release the ignition button, but con-
tinue to hold the control knob in (21) for a further 15 seconds.
- Release the control knob: the heater should operate at full
power.
- If the burner goes out: repeat the ignition sequence.
NB:
- The burner will turn black after the first use; this is perfectly
normal and in no way reduces its performance.
2-2. Lighting the burner manually (fig. 19)
- Begin the process as described in the previous paragraph,
but instead of pressing the ignition button, apply a burning
match (C) to the top edge of the radiating screen.
- As soon as it lights, remove the match.
2-3. Adjusting the heater
- To adjust for minimum heating: turn the knob (21) anticlock-
wise.
2-4. Turning the patio heater off
- Turn the knob (21) clockwise to the (
l
) position.
NOTE:
The patio heater is fitted with two safety devices
1) The "flame failure" safety device automatically shuts off the
gas supply to the heater burner if the latter goes out acci-
dentally.
2) The "anti-tilt" safety device automatically switches off the
gas supply to the entire patio heater if the latter is positioned
at an angle of more than 45° relative to the vertical or if it
topples and falls to the ground.
3. Adjusting the position of the reflector (figs. 20-
21)
For improved convenience, the reflector (22) on the patio
heater can be positioned to direct the heat at the area where
it is needed.
DO NOT TOUCH THE REFLECTOR (22) WITH BARE
HANDS AS IT MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT. Use the handle
(23) provided for this purpose by moving it vertically from top
to bottom: stop when the desired position is achieved.
- ALWAYS USE THE HANDLE TO POSITION THE REFLEC-
TOR or to bring the reflector back to the horizontal position.
Note: Do not exceed the horizontal position by raising the
handle
Protect the burner from the wind by turning the patio heater
so that the reflector acts as a screen particularly during igni-
tion.
3-1. Positioning the reflector (figs. 20 - 21)
- DO NOT TOUCH THE REFLECTOR (22) WITH BARE
HANDS AS IT MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT. Use the handle
(23) provided for this purpose by moving it vertically from top
to bottom: stop when the desired position is achieved.
ALWAYS USE THE HANDLE TO POSITION THE REFLEC-
TOR or to bring the reflector back to the horizontal position.
Note: Do not exceed the horizontal position by raising the
handle.
4. Removing and replacing the gas cylinder
-
When installing or replacing a gas cylinder, always carry
out this function outdoors, never in the presence of a
flame, a heat source or a spark (cigarette, electrical patio
heater, etc.) and away from other people and flammable
materials.
- Check that the cylinder valve or the lever on the regulator is
in the closed position.
- Raise the cylinder cover so that the gas cylinder is totally free
and unhook the safety belt using the clip (M) (fig. 12).
- Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
- Remove the gas cylinder from the base of the patio heater
- Install the new gas cylinder.
- Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder (check the seal on
the regulator).
- Put the safety strap back and lower the cylinder cover right
down.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclo-
sure.
- Check the condition of the flexible hose.
5. Installing the mantle. (fig. 15) (models with
lantern only, Mantle: M)
- ENSURE THE PATIO HEATER IS COOL AND SWITCHED
OFF.
- Raise (A) the beam (17) and pivot it on itself by a quarter turn.
- Slide the mantle (16) onto the burner, with the largest diame-
ter hole downwards; fully insert the opening of the sleeve into
the groove(B) in the burner.
- Return the beam (17) to its initial position and insert the upper
hole of the mantle into the groove (C) in the beam.
5-1. Burning the mantle (fig. 16) (work outdoors):
- DO NOT SWITCH ON THE GAS, apply a flame (cigarette
lighter or match) to the mantle.
- Allow it to consume itself completely – the smoke produced
will change from black to white color when it is fully burned.
- (A) Place the globe (18) in position and (B) clip the cap (19)
onto the globe. (fig. 17).
6. Using the lantern (fig. 18) (models with lantern
only)
IMPORTANT:
Additional advice:
WARNING: After it has been burnt, the mantle becomes
very fragile - avoid touching it, as it will break easily.
- Do not use the lantern with a torn mantle as there is a
risk that the glass will break. Replace it only with the
appropriate Campingaz® mantle.
