The regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the heater are suitable for liquefied petroleum
gas.
A gas regulator adjusted to have and outlet
pressure of 2.75 kpa is supplied for connection
to the LPG cylinder. The regulator and hose
assembly supplied with the heater must be
used. Replacement regulators and hose assem-
blies must be those specified by the appliance
manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator
assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to
avoid unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on
the gas and check for leaks by brushing a
soap and water solution over all connections.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a gas
escape.
DO NO TEST FOR GAS ESCAPES
WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If you are unable to correct the leak by
tightening the connections, turn off the gas and
contact your place of purchase immediately.
Always ensure the patio heater is kept away
from flammable materials and the gas cylinder
clear of any heat source.
When changing over from an empty gas
cylinder to a full one, make sure this proce-
dure is carried out in a flame-free atmosphere.
Inspect the gas hose before each use and
when replacing the gas cylinder. If the hose is
cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way,
the heater must not be operated. The hose
must be replaced if damaged or when statutory
conditions require it. Contact your place of
purchase if uncertain.
The hose and regulator should be disconnected
from the cylinder when the heater is not in
use.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE GAS HOSE
FROM THE APPLIANCE.
The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the
appliance being put into operation if there is evidence
of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is
damaged. The replacement hose must be purchased
from Thermofilm Australia Pty Ltd.
