IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any appliance, precautions should always be followed. Please read the instructions
carefully as they are there for your benefit and safety.
The heater must be turned “ON” and “OFF” at the gas cylinder only.
Never attempt to open any part of the heater or dismantle the controls. The supplier cannot
accept responsibility for any possible unit failure, should this instruction have been ignored.
Never use the heater if it is damaged in any way.
Never use a naked flame (matches, lighter, candle) to look for gas leaks.
Before using a new cylinder of gas, check with the gas filler that all the gas has been
removed before filling with LPG. Do not use a cylinder that has been previously filled with
Nitrogen. Any traces of Nitrogen will cause the heater not to start or the pilot light not to
operate.
The gas cylinder must
always
be in an upright position. Do not turn the cylinder upside down
in order to empty it completely.
Always disconnect the appliance from the gas cylinder when not in use for long periods of
time.
This appliance consumes oxygen when in use. Always ensure adequate ventilation for the
effective performance of the appliance as well as the safety of the people in the area in which
the heater is being used.
The flexible gas hose must be checked periodically for signs of cracking.
If the hose needs to be replaced, ensure that the replacement hose complies with BS3212 or
SABS 1156-2 standards and is approved for use by the LPGSASA.
Do not use this appliance outdoors and always use the heater in an upright position. Always
face the heater to the centre of the room.
Do not cover the heater with any type of cloth, clothing, foreign objects or block the airflow in
any way.
Ensure that the appliance is not too close to curtains or fabric or any other flammable
material.
Do not move the heater while it is in operation. Ensure that the flame is properly extinguished
before moving.
If a gas leak is suspected (there is a smell of gas), turn the gas OFF at the cylinder
immediately. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE REGULATOR.
Replacement of the regulator must only be carried out by an
authorised dealer
and must be
replaced with the same type and standard of regulator that complies with SABS 1237.
This appliance is intended for household use only. Do not use for any purpose other than its
intended function.
