Connecting to Gas Supply
IMPORTANT!
This heater requires a hose & regulator which are
defined in the instruction. Avoid twisting the hose.
1. To connect fuel cylinder, insert regulator end fitting into cylin-
der valve, rotate coupling nut clockwise and tighten.
2. Open valve on fuel cylinder slowly. If the valve is not opened
slowly, the excess flow check valve in the
regulator will stop the flow of gas. If this should happen, close
the valve, wait one minute and re-open, slowly.
VENTILATION
Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space a mini-
mum of 25 cm2 per kW of heat input (Hs), subject to a minimum
of 50 cm2, equally divided between high and low level. Provide a
larger opening if more heaters are being used.
The fuel pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with the heater
must be used without alteration (when
supplied).
Installation
1. Inspect fuel cylinder and hose connection to appliance to
ensure it is in good condition.
2. Connect regulator to a gas supply cylinder.
NOTE:
Optimum efficiency is achieved when the heater uses
the appropriate full fuel cylinder
3. Slowly open the fuel cylinder. Leak test all gas connections
with 50/50 soap and water solution prior to start-up. Soap bub-
bles indicate a gas leak. DO NOT use a match or flame to test
for gas leaks.
Adjustment
Use only with the appropriate gases at the pressures listed on
the gas chart (page 4). This appliance is operating correctly when
the burners remain lit and glowing.
Lighting and Operating Instructions
1. Turn the knob on the fuel cylinder valve counterclockwise to
open.
2. Turn control knob to “HI” position.
3. Press down the control knob and hold for 30 seconds. While
holding down the control knob, press the igniter button several
times until the burner ignites. Release the control knob about
1--20 seconds after the ignition.
4. When the central burner panel remains lit, turn the control
knob to the desired position for heating.
5. Check to see the appliance operating pressure is correct
according to gas chart (page 4).

NOTE: If this is first time use for heater or fuel cylinder
has been replaced, it may take a couple of seconds
for the fuel to reach the heater. Continue to hold the
flame until the ceramic plaques ignite. If they do not
ignite after 15 seconds, remove the flame, close the
fuel cylinder, wait 5 minutes for any fuel to dissipate
and repeat steps 1-2.
Shutdown Instructions
.
1. Turn the knob at the fuel cylinder clockwise to the OFF
position
2. Turn the control knob to the OFF position.
3. After the plaques have stopped burning (no longer glow-
ing), disconnect Regulator Hose assembly from the fuel
cylinder.
NOTE: ALWAYS INSPECT HEATER BEFORE USE AND AT
LEAST ANNUALLY BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.
Maintenance / Storage
Always disconnect the fuel cylinder from the regulator
assembly by means of the isolating valve, and remove the
fuel cylinder from the appliance before putting appliance
into storage. If for any reason the heater is to be stored
indoors, the heater MUST be disconnected from the fuel
cylinder, and the cylinder stored outdoors in a well-venti-
lated area, out of the reach of children. The plastic valve
plug or valve cover supplied with the fuel cylinder must be
reinstalled on the valve to protect the fitting from damage.
Regularly check the hose and replace if necessary. This
appliance must be left in a safe condition, must be moved
from the danger situation such as high temperature, com-
bustible and so on. If appliance is unable to be left in a
safe condition, disconnect the fuel cylinder from appliance
and store separately, and have appliance serviced by a
qualified service person.
NOTE: There are no customer serviceable parts con-
tained within this appliance. Repair of this heater
should be done by a qualified service person.
Save all packaging materials that came with your heater,
and re-package the heater for safe storage. Be sure to
inspect the heater before each use to look for any such
obstructions such as spiderwebs. Be sure to keep the
air passage-ways, burner and combustion areas clean.
This heater should receive a thorough cleaning with com-
pressed air at least once every 30 days of operation. You
may need to clean the heater more often if conditions are
naturally dirty. Clean the Ceramic plaques using com-
pressed air below 30 PSI to prevent damage.
HOW TO CHANGE A CYLINDER
1. Cylinders must be replaced in a non-flammable and
non-smoking environment.
2. When you need to replace your empty cylinder, turn the
gas off first.
3. Make sure that the heater is extinguished completely.
4. Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder and
change a new full one.
