Safety instructions for operation
General instructions for handling liquid gas cylinder
systems:
Properties of liquid gas:
Liquid gas (propane, butane and their mixtures) is a
highly flammable, colourless gas with a distinct odour.
It is more sheer than air and ignitable even when mixed
slightly with the ambient air.
Caution! Uncontrolled outflow of gas can
deflagrate or explode.
Liquid gas is under pressure in the cylinder. Protect
against heating above 40°C! At higher temperatures,
especially when exposed to fire, there is a risk of
uncontrolled gas leakage and even bursting of the
cylinder.
Behaviour in case of disturbances:
In case of malfunctions and leaks (e.g. gas smell,
leakage noises), observe the following rules:
• Immediately close the bottle valve (clockwise).
• Do not smoke or use an open fire.
• Do not operate any electric switches.
• Do not make a phone call.
• Open doors and windows, provide ventilation.
• If possible, take the leaking bottle outside.
• Leave the building and notify an authorised technical
assistance service.
Safety precautions:
• The contact protection located on the appliance
serves to prevent fire hazards and burns; no part of the
protection may be permanently removed.
IT DOES NOT PROVIDE FULL PROTECTION FOR
SMALL CHILDREN AND INFIRM PEOPLE!
The heater is equipped with an oxygen deficiency
fuse. If there is a high level of carbon dioxide (C0
2
) in
the room, the fuse ensures that the unit switches off
automatically. It is not possible to switch the unit on
again until you have ventilated the room.
Operation
After you have read and understood the general safety
instructions and the unit-specific safety instructions,
you can start using the unit. Proceed as follows:
Inserting the gas bottle:
• The appliance is operated with a propane / butane
gas mixture at 50mbar.
• To operate the appliance, you need a liquid gas
bottle up to max. 11 kg, hose and pressure regulator for
outdoor use are already pre-assembled.
• The installation or replacement of the liquid
gas cylinder must be carried out in a flame-free
atmosphere.
• The unit must be turned off at the bottle valve
when not in use and to change bottles.
• After the initial start-up and before each subsequent
start-up, and especially after each bottle change, the
tightness must be checked with foam-forming agents
(e.g. soapy water).
• Tightness is ensured if no bubbles form.
Density testing with an open flame is strictly
prohibited!
• The bottle must be placed in the appliance so that
it does not come into contact with the burner holder
plate and the gas supply pipe attached to it. The hose
must not rest against the hot back of the burner.
• The appliance is supplied with a hose, 50 cm long.
The hose must not be shortened or replaced with a
longer one.
• Check the condition of the hose at regular intervals,
at least every time the bottle is changed.
• In case of damage, the hose must be replaced with
a DIN DVGVV-tested replacement hose of identical
construction.
• The hose is connected to the regulator by means of a
V4“ left-hand thread.
• When fitting the hose/pressure regulator to the
liquid gas cylinder, avoid twisting the gas hose.
Attention! The gas hose must not rest against
the back wall of the burner!
• Operation with pressure regulator types other than
those specified is not permitted.
• Make sure that the hose and regulator are replaced
every 5 years at the latest.
Connecting the liquid gas bottle:
• Remove the valve protection cap
• Unscrew the lock nut from the connection pipe
(clockwise).
• Check the rubber seal in the cylinder valve (regulator
connection).
• Screw on regulator with hose hand-tight (left-hand
thread). Do not use any tools! Do not turn the regulator,
but the union nut.
• Carry out a leak test.
Replacing the liquid gas cylinder:
• Close bottle valve
• Unscrew the regulator.
• Turn the cap nut to the connection thread (left-hand
thread). -Put on the valve protection flap.
• Connect the new bottle and carry out the leak test.
