GAS ODOUR. Gas has odorants added specifically for gas leak detection. If a gas leak occurs,
you should be able to smell gas. Since LP gases are heavier than air, you should smell for the
gas odour low to the floor. Any gas odour is your signal to go into immediate action.
Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do not operate any electrical
switches. Do not pull any power supply or extension cords. Do not light matches or any
other source of flame. Do not use your telephone.
Get everyone out of the building and away from the area immediately.
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves, or the main supply valve located at the meter
if you use natural gas.
Leave the area or building and call your gas supplier and the fire department. Stay out of
the area or the building until it is declared safe by the gas supplier and the fire department.
Let the gas supplier and the fire department check for the gas leak.

Connecting and Replacing the Gas Cylinder
Only replace the gas cylinder in the open air, far from any open flame or heat source.
Connect the gas cylinder using following accessories:
1 flexible hose for liquid gas (incl.)
1 pressure regulator for liquid gas (incl.)
Connection
1.
Connect the gas hose to the heater without forcing.
2.
Install the pressure regulator on the gas cylinder.
3.
Check if the connection of the pressure regulator is correctly sealed according to the used
gas cylinder.
4.
Open the valve of the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator if the gas cylinder does not
feature a valve.
5.
Check if the connection are correctly sealed using soapy water: soap bubbles may point to
a gas leak.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
The connections may have a left-handed screw thread. Consequently, they are threaded in a
anticlockwise direction.
Check if there is a clamp between the pressure regulator and the gas cylinder.
It is allowed to interconnect multiple gas cylinders to increase the fuel autonomy.
The feeding pressure is obtained through the pressure regulator and corresponds to the data
on the specifications table.
Only use certified replacement gas hoses.
It is recommended to use gas cylinders of 30 kg providing a thermal power of 30 kW. You are
allowed to use larger gas cylinders if more thermal power is needed.
It is recommended to use gas cylinders with an appropriate capacity to avoid problems due to
partial fuel gasification. The correct pressure (refer to the specification tag on the heater) is
indicated by the included pressure regulator or a similar model.
Make sure the feeding gas hose is in perfect condition. Only use flexible and appropriate
models when replacing the gas hose. Always respect the local regulations. Do not crimp the
flexible hose.
