SAFETY RULES
Follow all operating rules presented in the introduction to the manual.
•
All operations with the radiator should be performed with the burner off, after the radiator
cools off.
•
Exchange of the cylinder and the vent of the gas system of the radiator should be performed
only in the open space, away from sources of fire.
•
During work, some part of the radiator get really hot, and in particular: the glass tube,
reflector, safety net, upper band of peaks an deflectors. Touching these parts during the
work and up to 10 minutes after switching the burner off can cause burns or the ignition
of the flammable materials in contact with these parts.
•
Each time after the exchange of the gas bottle you should check the tightness of the has
hose connection to the burner, reducer and cylinder. Before connecting visually check
whether the connection set is not damaged.
It is recommended to replace the hose with
a new one at least once a year.
•
The radiator during operation should be mounted to a flat, stable surface providing
adequate distance from any materials with flammability characteristics or which can, under
the influence of heat, get damaged (deformation, sintering, melting). The minimum distance
from each side of the radiator from elements made of these materials should be at least
1,2 metres. When operating the radiator under a roof, or in built-up areas, you should
provide sufficient ventilation (at least 20% of the open volume).
•
The radiator should be operated by adults, who are familiar with the operation manual.
The radiator should be protected from the reach of children and animals.
•
The radiator used in an open space should be secured against adverse weather conditions.
You should not use the radiator in strong wind and during rain or snow.
•
Although the tube is made from high-silica borosilicate glass, in direct contact of the heated
glass tube with water there is a risk that the stresses will cause the formation of cracks
or splash of glass. In this case there is a danger of injury to persons in the vicinity.
•
When operating under the open roof (umbrellas), when the burner is set in the position (3)
LOW their height should not be smaller than 2,5 m (during the operation you should control
the heating of the roof).
•
Do not use the radiator near the accumulated combustible materials.
•
In case of stating any damage to the radiator, and especially the malfunction of the burner,
breakage of the glass tube or feeling the characteristic smell of gas, you should immediately
turn the radiator off, twist and disconnect the gas cylinder.
•
In this case, you should wait until the radiator cools down and perform the corrective actions
specified in the section “Troubleshooting” , or contact with the manufacturer’s service.
