4 Leak test
5 Operation and storage
Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A com-
plete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site because of possible
mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.
• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solu-
tion can be applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in case
of a leak.
• The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
• Make sure the safety control valve is in the
OFF position.
• Turn the gas supply ON.
• In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas
supply on and recheck.
•
Never leak test while smoking!
To turn on the heater:
1. Turn on the valve on the gas supply cylinder completely.
2. Press and turn the control knob to PILOT position (counter-clockwise 90°).
3. Press and hold the control knob for 30 seconds. While holding down the control knob,
press the igniter button several times until the pilot flame lights. Release the control
knob after the pilot flame has lighted up.
• If a new tank has just been connected, please allow at least one minute for the air in
the gas pipeline tp purge out trough the pilot hole.
• When lighting the pilot flame make sure that the control knob is continuously held
down while pressing the igniter button. The control knob can be released after the
pilot flame lighted up.
• Pilot flame can be watched and checked from the small round window with sliding lid
located at the bottom of the flame screen (to the left or right side of the controller).
• If the pilot flame does not light or goes out, repeat step 3.
4. After the pilot flame has lighted up, turn the control knob to maximum position and
leave it there for 5 minutes or more before turning the knob to the to desired tempe-
rature position.
