The device must be installed according to the local ventilation standards as these can differ from
country to country.
Do not use this mobile forced-air heater in occupied spaces of residential buildings. Please consult the
local rules when prior to using this forced-air heater in public buildings.
This forced-air heater is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

Keep this device at a safety distance from animals.
The erroneous use of this forced-air heater may result in damage and lead to life-threatening risks
such as injuries, burns, explosions, electric shocks or poisoning. The first symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning may be confused with those of the flu: headache, dizziness and/or nausea. These
symptoms may be caused by an improper working of the mobile forced-air heater.
If you
experience one of these symptoms, immediately proceed in the open air. Also, ask a
qualified technician to repair the device.
Any cleaning, maintenance or repair activity involving a dangerous component (e.g. replacement of a

or a qualified technician in order to avoid risks, even if the device has been disconnected from the

Velleman nv cannot be held responsible in the event of damage or injury from (incorrect) use of this
device.
Only use this mobile forced-air heater with the fuel, an alternating current and the frequency specified on
the specifications label.
The mobile forced-air heater must only be used when an adequate air exchange rate can be guaranteed.
This device must therefore be used in the open air or in a well-ventilated room only. Install the device
following all local regulations, included those with respect to technical standards and the regulations
concerning the prevention of accidents and fires.
The mobile forced-air heater needs an adequate airflow to function properly. In fact, it must only be used in
the open air or in a room with sufficient and continuous airflow. Sufficient airflow is guaranteed when the
minimum room volume equals 1 m³ for every 100 W of power. Never must the total volume of the room be
less than 100 m³. Sufficient ventilation is guaranteed only when the ventilation openings have a total
volume of 25 cm² for every kW of thermal power for a minimum surface of 250 cm².
The mobile forced-air heater must be used only as a gas heater or fan, according to the instructions in this
user manual.
Should you smell gas, the mobile forced-air heater may be defective or present a gas leak. In this case,
immediately switch off the device: close the pressure regulator, disconnect the device from the mains and
contact your local dealer.
The flexible hose should never be crimped, bent or handled with brute force when using or handling the
device.
Install the gas cylinder so that it is protected. Install it in the back of the mobile forced-air heater and never
place it in front of the hot air output.
Never aim the device at the gas cylinder.
