2.  InTroDucTIon

Many users have found the advantages of propane heaters far outweigh the small additional running costs. The fuel is more completely burned 

and does not leave an oily residue as experienced with paraffin heaters. There is no odour, except for the few seconds during start-up and the 

units run a little more quietly since they do not need a compressor to drive the fuel to the burner.

H

eaters are fan assisted, fitted with a piezoelectric ignition system for trouble-free starting and feature a direct gas head assembly. Safety 

solenoids prevent the heater from leaking gas without first being electrically started. Supplied with an approved propane gas regulator and hose. 

All models are tested and certified to CE/EN standards. Manufactured to BS EN 1596.

This heater is not supplied with a gas cylinder. Use only an approved gas 

 

cylinder.

 

‰

  

warnInG: 

If the heater is used continuously for a long period, ice may form on

 

the outside of the gas cylinder. This is due to excessive vapour withdrawal; 

 

Do noT

 apply heat to the cylinder. Consult your gas supplier regarding the 

 

provision of a multi-cylinder arrangement using the correct manifold (fig.3).

4.1.    

pre  Lighting

4.1.1.       Connect the heater to the electric supply.

4.1.2.  

With the cylinder supply valve turned off, connect the regulator to the cylinder;

 

this is a left hand thread - turn anticlockwise (fig.2).

4.1.3.   

Connect one end of the hose to the regulator and the other to the gas connection 

 

on the base of the heater (both these connections also have left hand threads).

4.1.4.   

open the cylinder supply valve slowly and check all connections for leaks. 

 

Brushing soapy water around the connections and watching for bubbles is a good

 indicator. 

4.1.5.   

Tighten any suspect connections,if found and re-check.

4.2.    

Igniting

4.2.1.   

open the gas supply valve.

Press the gas valve and keep pressed.

4.2.4.   

Press the igniter button repeatedly until the burner is heard to ignite.

4.2.5. 

  

Keep the gas valve pressed for about 10 seconds. When the valve button is 

 

released, the flame should remain lit. If the flame does not stay alight, wait for 

 

1 minute and repeat 4.2.3. and 4.2.4.

4.2.6. 

  

The heat output can be adjusted by opening or closing the gas control valve on 

 

the gas cylinder.

4.2.7.   

The heater is protected by an overheat thermostat. If the thermostat operates, determine the reason for the overheat situation and  

 remedy.

5.  MaInTenance & SToraGe

5.1.    

Always disconnect the heater from the gas cylinder before putting the heater into storage. If for any reason the heater is to be stored  

 

indoors, disconnect from the gas cylinder, and store the cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. The   

 

plastic valve plug or valve cover supplied with the cylinder must be re-installed on the valve to protect the fitting  from damage.

5.2.    

aLwayS

 be sure to follow proper maintenance procedures. This should include cleaning the inside of the heater once a month and   

 

checking the spark gap at least once a heating season. Re-gap the ignition electrode to 4mm.
