VI. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting the installation, please ensure the device, hose and pressure-reducing valve are not damaged.
If you detect any defects, contact the seller. The valve on the gas cylinder and on the device must always be
turned off during the below-mentioned operations.
PL EAS E N OT E!
•
The device needs a controller defined in the "GAS REQUIREMENTS".
•
The cylinder must be connected in a room with no fire.
•
Please ensure the gas control system is switched off - the valves on the cylinder and device are
closed.
1.
Remove the rear heater cover, attached in the lower part.
2.
Screw the castors to the heater housing.
3.
Connect the 50 cm hose to the outlet port on the device and on the pressure-reducing valve.
Fix both connections with metal hose clamps.
4.
Connect the pressure-reducing valve to the cylinder valve. Tighten it with an adjustable spanner and
check if the connection is tight.
5.
Do not forget to place a gasket at the pressure-reducing valve nut. The pressure-reducing valve should
be appropriate for 37 mbar.
6.
Test the tightness of the entire connection (see the "LEAK TEST" below).
7.
Put the cylinder in the housing, without twisting the gas supply hose.
8.
Put the rear cover.
VII. LEAK TEST
(CHECKING THE TIGHTNESS OF GAS CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS)
PL EAS E N OT E!
•
Put out any open flame.
•
Do not smoke cigarettes during the leak test.
Gas tubes in the heater were factory tested for leaks before delivery. A complete leak test must be carried out
in the installation site due to any possible incorrect handling of the shipment or excess pressure put on the
heater. The heater must be checked with a full gas cylinder.
Do not check tightness with open flame (e.g. match or candle). This may cause explosion! Use soapy water,
spray or specialist measurement instruments to check tightness.
1.
Ensure the safety valve is switched off.
2.
Mix one unit of soap and one unit of water. Soapy water can be applied by means of a sprayer bottle,
brush or cloth for all gas hoses. If there is any leaks, soap bubbles will appear.
3.
Turn on the valve on the gas cylinder (paying special attention to the connections of the flexible hose
and the pressure-reducing valve and device).
4.
If there is any leak, cut off the gas flow. Seal the leak sites, turn on the gas flow again and check all the
connections again. If the bubbles keep forming, contact the seller or gas provider.
5.
The leak test can be carried out also by means of specialist measuring instruments.
PL EAS E N OT E!
1.
The entire gas system, hose, controller, starter, pressure-reducing valve and burner should be tested
for leaks before use.
2.
Check the hose installation for any major abrasion, cuts or wear. Any suspected places should be tested
for leaks. If the hose is leaky, it should be replaced with a new one, compliant with the local standards.
Do not seal the hose with insulation tape!
3.
Do not twist flexible tubes and hoses.
4.
Ensure the ventilation opening of the gas cylinder is patent, and the control chamber, burner and air
circuits in the heater are not dirty. If any dirt, cobwebs or insects' nests are found, clean the openings
with heavy-duty pipe cleaner or compressed air.
5.
The control knob should always be pressed and turned by hand. Do not use any tools. If the knob
