Gas leakages
If a leak is suspected, turn off gas at the gas bottle, open the window and air the room. DO
NOT disconnect the pressure regulator. Extinguish all naked lights. Slowly turn the gas on
and brush the connections with soapy water or liquid detergent - a gas leak will form bub-
bles. If a leak is found, turn the gas off and inform your Dealer. DO NOT use the heater
again until it has been inspected by your Dealer. NEVER USE MATCHES TO FIND LEAKS.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Gas bottle
Gas Bottle with 15 kg of maximum capacity can be installed.
Changing of gas bottle must not be carried out in the presence of a naked flame.
Use the gas bottle always in upright position. If a screw on regulator is used ensure that the
regulator washer is present and in good condition -replace if in any doubt.
To place the bottle in position, remove the rear panel which faces the inside during tran-
sport, by unfastening the screws; than put the bottle in position and replace the panel.
Do not turn the bottle upside down to use completely its content.
Pressure regulators, rubber tubes and clips
CHECK that tubing is completely over the nozzles at each end of
the tubing and that it is held firmly in place
by tube clips (See fig.5). Examine flexible
tubing regularly and get your Dealer to fit
new tubing 400 mm long complying to local
standard, if damaged. In any case replace
the tube every 5 years. Ensure that the rubber tube is inserted in the
plastic support (see fig. 6). When connecting the pressure regulator
to the gas bottle avoid undue twisting of the flexible tubing.
A 28 ÷ 30 mbar (11.2 in w.g.) pressure regulator for Butane or
Propane complying to local standard must be connected to the
appliance with the above tubing, using suitable tube clips.
Ventilation
USE ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM
Adequate ventilation must be provi-
ded in rooms in which the heater is
used. This ensures removal of the
products of combustion and allows
the entry of replacement air.
The following table shows the smal-
lest size of room suitable for each
heat setting and the
dimensions of the aperture which
must be provided equally divided
between high and low level, accor-
ding with the maximum, medium or
minimum power.
