including all valve connections, hose connections and regulator connections.
•
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME

Gas and Regulator
• This appliance is for propane use only.
• See instructions supplied with regulator for correct use and attachment.
• Propane bottles, normally red coloured, or patio gas green in the UK, or patio gas grey in
Ireland, will supply gas all year round even on cold winter days.
• We recommend a bottle size of 13kg for use with this appliance (in the UK).
• Gas bottles should never be stored on their side.
• Never store gas bottles indoors.
•
Suitable propane regulators must have an outlet pressure of 37mbar. This appliance is
supplied with a propane regulator which must only be used for propane gas. NEVER use
an adjustable regulator with this appliance.
• Please consult your gas dealer for the most suitable gas bottles for your regulator.
Siting Instructions
• This appliance is for
OUTDOOR USE ONLY
and should be placed in a well ventilated area.
• A well ventilated area must have a minimum of 25% of its surface area open.
(Surface area is defined as the total surface of the walls surface.)
• Take care that it is not placed UNDER any combustible surface.
• The sides of the appliance should NEVER be closer than 1.5 metres from any combustible surface.
• Keep this appliance away from any flammable materials!
• Important - Make sure the gas bottle is placed level.
• Should you need to change the gas bottle, confirm the gas supply is turned off at the regulator
or bottle / cylinder valve, and there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame,
sparks, etc.) near before proceeding.
• Hose which can be used with this heater must conform with BS3212 or similar.
• Ensure that the hose bore and regulator are compatible.
• The hose should be secured to the regulator nozzle using a jubilee clip or similar.
• Inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free from any twisting or tension. The hose should hang
freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could obstruct free flow of gas. Always inspect the hose
for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with
hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the national standards for the country of use.
N.B. - The date on U.K. orange hose is the date of manufacture, not the expiry date.
