Place the gas cylinder on the base of the
space heater and fit the regulator to the
cylinder.
After opening the regulator, check that
there are no gas leaks by applying soapy
water with a paintbrush to the union of
the flexible tube with the space heater
and the regulator.
Fit the back panel using the attached
fixing lugs (fig. 3).
CAUTION: For their own safety, keep the
package (cardboard, Styrofoam, plastic
bags, etc.) away from your children.
Note: The replacement of the cylinder
should be carried out in a non-flammable
environment.
The space heater includes a safety device,
which turns the device off and extinguishes
the pilot flame if the ventilation in the
premises is insufficient or the
concentration of CO2 exceeds the
maximum stipulated by law.
It is usual for this device to operate in
very small premises.
If the flame does go out, ventilate the
room well and wait a few minutes before
reigniting the space heater.
Ignition instructions
Attention: before using the space heater
for the first time and after long periods of
non-use, we recommend switching on the
control buttons several times alternately
and without gas flow in order to facilitate
its operation.
The space heater can be regulated to
three different heat intensities: MAXIMUM,
MEDIUM and MINIMUM. The ignition
mechanism is piezo-operated.
Open the gas outlet by rotating the lever
on the regulator to the correct position
(Fig.2).
Turning on the space heater
Press the button and rotate it to your left,
holding it down for 20 seconds. Repeat
this procedure several times if necessary
until the pilot light ignites near the bottom
part of the protective screen guard (where
the spark is seen), Fig.4 and keep
pressing the button for 10 seconds. If, on
releasing the button, the flame goes out,
please repeat the whole procedure.
For MINIMUM heat - Rotate the button to
For MEDIUM heat - Rotate the button to
For MAXIMUM heat - Rotate the button to
Thermostatic ignition instructions
Attention:
before using the space heater
for the first time and after long periods of
non-use, we recommend switching on the
control buttons several times alternately
and without gas flow in order to facilitate
its operation.
Open the gas outlet by rotating the lever
on the regulator to the correct position
(Fig.2).
Turning on the space heater
Regulate the adjustable thermostat by
moving the thermostat button in opposite
direction of the clockwise to the position
maximum.
Press the gas valve button for 15 sec.
and then press 2 or 3 times the spark
ignition button . If the flame from the
main burner is not burning repeat again
the process.
Keep the gas valve button pressed for
about 20 seconds after the ignition so that
the thermal element reaches the desired
temperature and the burner will not cut
off.
When the room reaches the desired
temperature, set the desired temperature
level at the point where the thermostat is
on the device sets the chosen level button.
Maintenance
If any anomaly is observed or spare parts
are required, contact our Technical
Service.
The periodical maintenance must be
carried out exclusively by an authorized
technician.
We would recommend that you have a
service carried out every two years by an
authorized technician.
Watch the pilot light, which should be
stable.
Check to see if it is necessary to change
the flexible gas tube. If it proves necessary,
obtain a new tube and connect it as
explained in “Heater start-up”.
It is recommended that the cleaning of
the device be carried out with the gas
regulator closed, the heater completely
cold and with nonabrasive products.
When the space heater is not in use, we
recommend storing it in a dust-free
atmosphere, protected with a cloth or
plastic cover in a dry place.
Warranty
All our space heaters have been
meticulously checked before leaving the
factory. Nevertheless, if any anomaly is
observed remember that our extensive
Technical Service network is at your
disposal. You should read the section,
“Before calling in Technical Service”
to
verify if you can remedy the anomaly
yourself.
Before calling in Technical Service
The space heater doesn’t turn on
Check to see if there is gas in the cylinder
and that the regulator is correctly coupled
in the open position.
Check to see if the flexible tube is properly
connected.
Check that the instructions have been
followed correctly.
If this occurs after changing cylinders it
may be due to:
There is air in the cylinder. Press the
ignition button down for a longer period of
time until the pilot flame and burner ignite.
Then switch to the MAXIMUM position.
The bottle may have been exposed to low
outside temperatures. Apply fairly hot wet
cloths to the upper part of the bottle to
increase gasification and the normal output
of gas.
The space heater goes out
If it goes out on completing the ignition
instruction, repeat the operation, following
the instructions carefully.
If it goes out after 30 minutes, it means
that it is operating in a poorly ventilated
atmosphere.
Ventilate the room and reignite the space
heater.
If it goes out before 30 minutes of
operation, ensure that it is not exposed to
air drafts or that the cylinder has not run
out of gas.
