Pressure regulators, rubber tubes and clips
CHECK that tubing is completely over the nozzles at each end of the
tubing and that it is held firmly in place by tube clips (See fig.9).
Check the expiry date and state of the rubber tube regularly. If it is
past its expiry date or has been damaged, replace it with one which
complies with the current regulations. Avoid bending or constricting
the rubber tube when the pressure regulator is connected to the gas
cylinder. This heater must be used with an approved Low Pressure
Regulator which complies with SAB S1237.
The regulator is required to reduce the pressure of the gas in the cylinder from about 700
kPa to about 2,8 kpa to operate the radiant - the heating panels).
Ventilation
USE ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM
Adequate ventilation must be provided in rooms in which the heater is used. This ensures removal of
the products of combustion and allows the entry of replacement air. The following table shows the
smallest size of room suitable for each heat setting and the dimensions of the aperture which must
be provided equally divided between high and low level, according with the maximum, medium or
minimum power.
Safety guard
The guard is to prevent risk of fire and no part of it should be permanently removed.
It does not give full protection for young children or the infirm.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lighting the heater
1. Open the gas bottle tap.
2. Fully depress the large knob on the valve for 10 seconds and then turn it 90° to the right
or left to activate the piezoelectric starter (if the pilot flame does not ignite return the
knob to the initial position and repeat the operation). Continue to hold the knob down
for a further 20 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, then release the knob.
Turn the small thermostat knob anticlockwise to po, to ignite the 3 burners.
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob clockwise
until the 2 burners on the left go off.
In this way, the appliance will automatically maintain the set temperature by cycling
between maximum output (3 burners) and minimum output (1 burner) and vice-versa.
In the event of “burn back” turn off and try again. Should it happen a second time,
return the unit to the dealer.
