3. Gas requirements
•
Only use propane or butane.
•
The pressure regulator and gas hose must match the local directives.
•
Setup of the heater must correspond to the local gas directives. If no gas directives are known,
the standard for storage and handling of liquid gases must be applied.
•
A dented, rusty or damaged gas tank may be dangerous and should be examined by the dealer.
•
A gas tank with a damaged valve should never be used.
•
The heater must be set up to ensure vapour extraction in the cylinder.
•
Never connect a gas tank to the heater without a controller.
4. Leakage test
•
The gas connections are examined for leaks before the heater is delivered. A complete leak test must be performed
after delivery, however, due to the risk of wrong handling of devices during delivery.
•
Produce a soapy solution of one part cleaning agent and one part water.
The soapy solution can be applied with a spray bottle or a brush. Bubbles will form if there are any leaks.
•
The entire system must be tested with a gas cylinder filled at least to 80 %.
•
First turn the controller OFF and then turn it ON.
•
In case of a leak, the gas supply must be switched off again at once.
•
Tighten all leaking connections and perform the test again.
•
Never smoke during the test.
5. Operation and storage
Switching on the heater
1. Open the gas valve of the gas supply to the stop.
2. Push in the variable controller and turn it to the pilot position (counter-clockwise by 90°).
3. Keep the controller pushed in for about 90 seconds and operate the ignition button a few times
until the pilot flame lights up. The variable controller can now be released.
Notes:
- If a new gas tank has been connected, it may take up to 1 minute
before the remaining air has flowed out through the gas tube.
- When igniting through the ignition head, the variable controller always must
be kept pushed. It can be released again after ignition.
- The pilot flame can be inspected through a small hatch below the heating surface.
- If the flame has gone out, repeat step 3.
4. After you have ignited the pilot flame, turn the variable control knob
to maximum (HI) position and leave it there for 5 minutes before turning
the knob to desired temperature position.
Switching off the heater
1. Turn the controller back to the pilot position
2. Push the controller back in and turn it to OFF.
3. Turn the gas valve of the gas supply cylinder off again.
