Suitable regulators for butane must have an outlet
pressure of 28-30mbar. For propane, the regulator
should have an outlet pressure of 37mbar. YOU
MUST HAVE THE PROPER REGULATOR AND
BOTTLE IN ORDER FOR THE HEATER TO
OPERATE SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. USE OF
AN INCORRECT OR FAULTY REGULATOR IS
DANGEROUS AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY
WARRANTY. Please consult your local gas dealer
for the most suitable gas bottles and regulators.
G. Installation
G1. Selecting a Location
This heater is for outdoor use only and should be
placed in a well-ventilated area. Ensure that it is
not placed UNDER any combustible surface. Do
not use heater where the reflector is within 1.5m of
any flammable structure or surface that may be
affected by heat, such as glass or plastic. Ensure
the heater stands on a firm, level surface. Keep
this heater away from any flammable materials!
G2. Precautions
Make sure the gas supply bottle is placed level
within the base. Should you need to change the
gas bottle, confirm the gas is turned off at the
cylinder or regulator, and there are no sources of
ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding. Hose which can be used with
this heater must conform with BS 3212 Type 2.
Length of hose for use with this heater is 1.40m. If
hose is not supplied with your heater, please
contact an authorised gas supplier or distribution
agent. Ensure that the hose bore and regulator
nozzle are compatible. The hose should be
secured to the regulator nozzle using a Jubilee clip
or similar. Inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free
of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang
freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could
obstruct free flow of gas. Always inspect the hose
for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If
the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with
hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the
national standards for the country of use.
N.B.-The
date on U.K. orange hose is the date of
manufacture, not the expiry date.
G3. Fixing the Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm the heater control knob is turned fully
clockwise to the “PILOT” position. Connect the
regulator to the gas bottle according to your
regulator and bottle dealer’s instructions.
G4. Leak Testing (To be performed in a well-
ventilated area.)
Confirm the control knob is turned fully clockwise
to the “PILOT” position. Open the gas control at
the cylinder. Check for leaks by brushing a
solution of ½ water and ½ soap over all gas
system joints, including all valve connections, hose
connections and regulator connections. It may be
necessary to disassemble some of the parts in
order to leak test the unit. NEVER USE AN OPEN
FLAME to test for leaks at anytime. If bubbles form
over any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the
gas supply and retighten all fittings. Repeat test. If
bubbles form again, do not use the heater. Please
contact your local dealer for assistance. Leak test
upon first receipt, and annually thereafter. Be sure
to reassemble the unit properly before use.
