Pay Attention:
When you are going to use the Cosipure for the first time, make sure that the device is turned at
the highest setting for 15 minutes. In this way, the lava stones are heated through and this ensures that any
bumps or air bubbles will disappear from the lava rocks. During the first time the Cosipure is turned on or when
the lava rocks have been wet (after some rain), keep at least
two meters away
from the burner and also ensure
that
no flammable materials are placed
around or on the table within this
radius of two meters
. Because the
air bubbles are burned from the lava stones, the stones can jump up during the first time / when lava rocks have
been wet and possibly come out of the burner.
When you want to move or clean up the lava rocks and ceramic logs, always make sure that they have cooled
down completely.
The lava rocks and logs can scorch black in time. This has to do with soot formation which always occurs in devices
that show a yellow flame. This soot can be removed by blowing / vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner. The soot
may also be brushed off with a dry brush.
2. Placing the gas bottle
When you have purchased a gas bottle that is prescribed in the supplied list, you can now place the gas bottle in
the Cosipure. However, this is not mandatory. You can also choose to place the gas bottle outside of the unit.
-
Placing the gas bottle inside of the Cosipure.
Underneath the Cosipure there is a gas tank unit. Open the door by pressing the top left corner. Place
the gas bottle on the steel frame and connect the regulator to the gas bottle. Tighten the regulator by
hand.
The hose must always be bent down towards the gas bottle. Make sure that the hose is never pressed
against any hot surfaces of the appliance.
When you are not using the Cosipure, make sure you always turn off the valve of the gas bottle.

Installation of the gas bottle outside of the Cosipure
If you want to place the gas bottle outside of the Cosipure, for example because you are using a gas
bottle with more capacity than is specified in the list, you can also place the gas bottle outside the
Cosipure. This can be done in the following way:
1.
Guide the gas hose outside the Cosipure by placing the gas hose underneath the model. See
drawing.
2.
The supplied hose has a length of 1.5 m. Therefore, the gas bottle should be placed at a maximum
distance of 1 meter away from the Cosipure. Children and pets can trip over the hose, so place the
hose outside of the walking area, where children and pets can’t reach it.
3.
Connect the gas bottle to the supplied pressure regulator and open the gas bottle open when you
want to use the Cosipure. When you are not using the Cosipure make sure the gas valve on the
gas bottle is turned off.
3. Replacing the cylinder
Do you need to replace the gas bottle because it’s empty? Make sure the model, ceramic logs and lava rocks
are completely cooled down! Use the description in point 2 “placing the gas bottle” and remove the old bottle.
You can have the old bottle filled up at your local gas supplier.
4. Replacing the hose and pressure regulator
Replace your propane gas hose every four years. This is a national advice. Pressure regulators can go for five
years. After the pressure regulator and the gas hose have been replaced, the unit must always be checked for
gas leaks.
How to check your Cosipure for gas leaks:
-
Open the gas bottle but do not turn on the Cosipure!
-
Make a solution with 50% water and 50% detergent and spray this solution on each connection and the
hose. If there is a gas leak in the connection or the hose you will see air bubbles arise.
-
If bubbles are visible, immediately shut off the gas. Buy a new hose or regulator.
-
Does the problem keep occurring? Please contact a qualified gas engineer.
