Installation
Installation of the G12 heater should be undertaken by an authorised person in accordance
with Australian standard AS5601 Gas Installations and must also comply with local and
statutory and regulatory requirements.
The heater is to be mounted in an area with adequate ventilation. Ventilation requirements
must be in accordance with AS5601. Gas Installations and must also comply with local
statutory and regulatory requirements.
The gas piping system for heaters using LPG must have an approved gas regulator fitted to
give a supply pressure to the heater inlet of 2.75 kPa. Use the pressure tapping point located
at the gas inlet on the Maxitrol valve to check inlet pressure.
The gas piping system for heaters using NG must have an approved appliance gas regulator
fitted to give a supply pressure to the heater inlet of 1.00 kPa. Use the pressure tapping
point on the appliance regulator to check the inlet pressure.
A 3m long hose certified to AS/NZS 1869 Class C is supplied and must be used to connect
the heater to the gas supply. The hose shall be installed to ensure it is not exposed to
excessive radiant heat and placed so there is no undue strain on the hose during operation.
Installation Height from floor:
1.5 -1.7 meter to bottom of reflector
Air gap above heater 1.0 meter minimum overhead clearance
Distance to any combustible product: 1.5 meter minimum
1. Before burner ignition, ensure that gas is present at the burner inlet and check that
all gas connections are gas tight and there are no leaks. Use a soapy water
mixture or other approved leak check solution to ensure all fittings are sealed. Any
tell tale bubbles will mean the joint is not sealed; undo the joint, check the sealing
faces and threads for damage. Reseal and recheck for tightness. Ensure the soap
solution does not contain any traces of AMMONIA in the mixture. Ammonia can
have a detrimental effect on the brass joint.
2. Check the hose is not kinked or damaged.
3. The temperature sensing bulb on the G12-TM model should be swivelled down
toward the floor to allow the bulb to sense air temperature away from the heater.
4. On completion of installation the heater must be tested and commissioned.

1. Slide pilot cover open or off to expose pilot burner. (Fig1)
2. Push in and turn the control knob on the thermostat to PILOT, this releases gas to
the pilot burner. (Fig 3)
3. While holding the control in, light the pilot burner (Fig2). The pilot flame should
play onto the tip of the thermocouple.
After 5-10 seconds, release the pilot button, the pilot flame should remain alight.
Check that the pilot flame is stable, refit the pilot cover and slide closed.
4. Turn the Control Knob to ON position, and turn the numbered dial to position 7,
this will release gas to the burner.
5. The main gas will ignite smoothly from the pilot flame, the flame should be blue in
colour with no yellow flame present. The flame will establish and start to warm
the heat emitter. After a while the heater will come up to temperature, and the
emitter will glow red.
