OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Now that the appliance has been prepared with the proper adapter fittings and
connections for our intended use (with a garden hose water supply) we can set it up
for operation.
1)
Find a suitable sturdy, non-combustible vertical surface to hang the appliance.
The surface should be at least 1000mm clear from the sides and 1000mm
from the top of all combustible surfaces, fabrics, flammable materials, and
people. Hang the appliance on a suitable vertical surface by the handle
attached to the back cover of the heater. The appliance is ready to be
connected to gas and water hoses.
2)
Attach the flexible hose and regulator to the ‘gas inlet’. Tighten this connection
with a spanner, taking care not to over tighten as doing so may damage the
pipe.
3)
Connect the other end of the flexible hose and gas regulator to the propane
gas cylinder. Hand-tighten the connection in an anti-clockwise direction. Note:
never place the gas cylinder directly beside or above the appliance.
4)
Turn the gas cylinder on (open) in an anti-clockwise direction one full turn, and
then check the connections for leaks with soapy water. DO NOT use a flame.
If a leak is detected, turn the cylinder valve off (close) and retighten all
connections and retest.
5)
Once you determine that there are no leaks present with the gas valve open,
turn the cylinder valve to the off (close) position.
6)
Place the second supplied washer inside the threaded fitting on the loose end
of the shower hose. Attach this fitting to the ‘water outlet’ connection. If
necessary, you can use Teflon tape to avoid leaks.
7)
Prepare a garden hose with a ‘quick fitting’ plug and attach it to the male
garden hose fitting already installed on the ‘water inlet’ pipe. (This appliance is
also compatible with other forms of water supply including low voltage water
pumps. For information on how to connect to this please consult your pump
accessory instruction manual or contact us).
8)
Ensure that the flow regulation switch on the showerhead is in the ‘off’
position.
9)
IMPORTANT: It is important that when starting the appliance that the gas
regulator is set to the minimum position, fully to the left, indicated by the thin
dotted end of the curved line.
10)
IMPORTANT: It is important that when starting the appliance that the water
regulator is set to the maximum position, fully to the left, indicated by the thick
dotted end of the curved line.
11)
Turn the gas cylinder on in an anticlockwise direction one full turn.
12)
Open the valve for your water supply. Water should not start to flow out of the
showerhead as it is still in the ‘off’ position.
13)
When ready, slide the flow regulation switch on the showerhead to the ‘on’
position. Water will start to flow through the showerhead within a few seconds.
You should hear a series of clicks and then the burner should ignite. The
burner flame can be seen operating through the viewing window located at the
front of the appliance.
