Product description

2.1 General guidelines
Gas stoves by TMC guarantee high heating power and low consumptions together with a constant distribution of heat which in turn leads to a more efficient use of energy as well as lower toxic emissions.
2.2 Scope of application and intended use
The gas stove complies with the required technical and safety standards. However, an improper or incorrect use may be hazardous for the life or the physical safety of users or thirds, and may damage the device, property or animals.
This stove generates heat by using gas. The burner produces a flame that heats up the air which, thanks to the conductive effect, heats up the room where the stove is installed. For appliances without a thermostat, heat is adjusted manually (there are two power levels), whereas for appliances fitted with a thermostat, the heat is adjusted automatically, and the stove is switched off once the set temperature has been reached.
The stove should be used as an auxiliary and temporary heating system, to heat rooms, gazebos, garages, labs and any other room that is above ground and suitably ventilated. It must not be used in bathrooms or dormitories, in boats, recreational vehicles and in rooms located on a high floor of a building. Any other use, or the extended use of the appliance, is to be considered improper use and the user will be held responsible for any possible consequent risk.

2.3 Safety devices
The product has been designed to prevent hazards thanks to the presence of the following safety devices:
Thermocouple
The pilot flame heats up a thermocouple which, in turns, keeps the valve of the appliance open (not the valve of the cylinder). If the pilot flame goes out, the gas flow from the valve to the appliance automatically stops within approximately one minute.
ODS
A pilot flame with an ODS system goes out and stops the gas supply before the level of CO2 exceeds the 1.5% limit (in the room where the room is used).
To prevent activation of the ODS system, the gas stove must be used only and exclusively in well-ventilated rooms.
Ensure that the room is suitably ventilated and, if the ODS system has triggered, ventilate the room. If you need to intervene too often, this means that the room is too small or that ventilation is not sufficient.

Do not attempt to disconnect the regulator from the cylinder if the appliance flame does not go out when theregulator is turned ‘OFF’. Leave appliance alight and call your local dealer.

The following operations are required for the connection:
– This regulator is a domestic regulator used to supply gas to utilities at specific pressure and flow, as indicated on the label (1).
– The regulator must be fitted directly to a cylinder featuring a O35 mm (G.56) quick connection valve. Make sure that the inlet and the outlet of the regulator are correct and suitable for the cylinder valve and the application.
– The gas cylinder must always be kept in vertical position. Do not move the cylinder during the operation. When the device is used outdoors, it shall be positioned or protected against direct penetration by any tracking water.
– Regulator versions featuring a release valve (the marking ”PRV” is visible on the label (1) are generally not type approved for use in closed premises (see local laws on the subject).
– Regulator operating temperature range is 0/+50°C for Butane and -20/+50 °C for Propane and LPG.
– Never look for gas leaks with a live flame. Use instead a solution of water and soap.
– In the event of any faults being found, close the regulator knob and immediately contact your gas supplier.
– Avoid that the hole on the cover (VENT) is obstructed or stopped (6).
– This regulator cannot be used on caravans and motor homes.
– For a permanent use outside the house, install the regulator in a position protected from the weather, paying great attention to the position of the vent hole (6).
Until the time of installation, the product must be stored in a clean, dry location protected from weather, atmospheric agents and direct sunlight. It must not be knocked or dented in any way.
Before installation, inspect the product for damage and dirt.
Damaged products must not be installed.

Fitting the rubber hose (fig.1) (Replacement of the hose)
Connect the end of the hose (3) to the regulator outlet, if necessary, with the aid of soapy water. Fasten the hose using clamps (4). Do not over-tighten to prevent damaging the hose (in some countries, the hose clamps and the hose are of standards dimensions).

Assembling on the gas cylinder.
Make sure that:
– All taps of the gas consuming appliance are closed.
– The connecting pipe is correctly fitted to the consuming appliance.
– Make sure the handle is in the “closed” position (the regulator is OFF when a green rectangle is visible on the handle. See fig. 2)
– Remove the plastic protective plug from the automatic valve.
– Pull the ring (5) upwards as shown in figure 3 and fit the regulator onto the valve. Afterwards give the ring (5) a strong push downwards as shown in figure 4. A “click” should be heard, meaning the regulator has been correctly fitted.

Operation

OPEN (ON): After correctly fitting the regulator onto the valve, the gas flow can be opened by turning the knob a half turn counterclockwise until the stop, until you reach the opposite horizontal position. In this position a red flame with the “ON” is visible as shown in figure 5. In this position the valve is opened and the gas flow is allowed. CLOSED (OFF): The gas flow can be stopped by turning the knob a half turn clockwise until the stop, until you reach the opposite horizontal position “OFF”. In this position the valve is closed.

Replacement of a cylinder

Make sure that:
– All the taps of the user appliance are closed.
– The opening knob of the regulator is in the closed position (by turning it a half turn until the stop the red flame is not visible, “OFF”). Afterwards, remove the regulator by pulling the ring (5) as shown in figure 6.
NOTE: It is not possible to pull the ring until the knob is in the horizontal position and the marking “OFF” is not visible. This is an important security feature. The user must not try to pull the regulator ring if the knob is not in the “OFF” position. Please contact your gas supplier if you have any problem.

Gas leaks
All gas leaks, however small, are dangerous and must be eliminated. Escaping gas can normally be traced by smell or sound but liquid detergent should be brushed over the area to confirm the location of the leak. NEVER look for a leak with a naked flame.
On cylinders, if a leak is suspected, turn off gas supply immediately, and extinguish any standing pilot lights or naked flames. Ventilate the room if possible. If the cylinder is indoors, move the cylinder outdoors to a safe place, and call your dealer for advice.

Excess flow valve (EFV)
The regulator can be equipped with a safety device “excess flow valve” designed to stop gas escaping in case of accidental detachment or breakage of the rubber hose used to supply gas to the user appliance.
The marking “EFV” on the label (1) shows the presence of this device on the regulator.
The flow limiting device should operate as follows:

1. In the event of the hose moving from its correct position:
   – Close the regulator knob,
   – Fit the hose correctly back on the regulator hose connection.
   – Open the regulator knob,
   – Wait at least 20 seconds before opening the regulator again.

2. In case of the flow of gas being higher than the capacity of the regulator, contact your gas supplier.
   Maximum residential flow: 60 g/h.
   NOTE: The excess flow valve may close if the gas cylinder is moved during use. To ensure correct operation of the flow limiting device during gas supply, the appliances hose length should be 1.5m at maximum. In normal conditions of use, in order to ensure the correct operation of the of the installation, it is recommended that this regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture

IMPORTANT: Never leave the regulator connected to the cylinder valve when the rubber hose is not correctly fitted in its housing as the flow limiting device has not been designed to guarantee the gas supply shut off function. The product must never be tampered with or dismantled; any such procedures lead to forfeiture of warranty cover on the product and the manufacture declines all consequent responsibility.

Emergency advice
If you suspect a leak, turn off the gas, open all the doors and windows and ensure there is no sourceignition nearby i.e., extinguish any cigarettes and switch off your mobile phone.
Examine all hoses and connections. If the leak is not located, turn on the gas supply and brush overconnections with liquid detection fluid or a soapy water solution – it will bubble where there is a leak.NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME to search for a leak. LPG has an odorant added to help with the detof leaks.
In the Event of Fire, immediately raise the alarm and call the Fire Brigade advising them of the presLPG.
Turn off the regulator on the cylinder by turning the control knob clockwise.
Keep cylinders cool by water spray if possible.
Ring local Emergency Service number.

3.4 Checking the regulator for leaks
Never use a naked flame to check for leaks. USE ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY FOAM SOLUTIONS!

After installation, and any time it is necessary, check the connection of the regulator as follows:

1. Connect the regulator to the cylinder.
2. Spray the cylinder connection with combustible gas leak detector. The formation of bubbles indicates a leak.
3. If the problem is the connection between the regulator and the cylinder the connection needs to be checked.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2. Check that the problem has been solved.

If it is impossible to fix the leak, remove the regulator and check that the connection is not uneven or dor that the seal is not damaged; the connection needs to be tested by a qualified technician. If the foamy solution detects a further leak, close the regulator handle, replace the cylinder and try againShould there still be a leak after replacing the cylinder and carrying out the check, do not use the stove contact your seller (see chapter 6). Repair works or faulty component replacement must be carried ouqualified technicians who must use original components.

ATTENTION:

Ensure that the gas hose has enough space and is not bent. The gas hose should not be stretched or twisted.

Instructions for use

4.1 Commissioning and operation
After installing the cylinder and carrying out the tightness test, the gas stove can be ignited. Please follow the instructions given here below:

Instructions for using the stove with ON OFF thermostat

1. Install the stove in the desired position, in compliance with the instructions and warnings given in paragraph 2.7 “General warnings on installation and use”.

2. Open the cylinder valve by rotating it anti-clockwise.

3. Turn the knob (fig. 4) clockwise until it stops: this position corresponds to the START position Press the knob all the way down and keep it pressed for approximately 45 seconds. After that, while keeping the knob pressed down, press the piezo push-button until the pilot flames comes on.

4. Once the pilot flame has come on, keep the knob pressed for 20/30 seconds and then release the knob.

5. If the pilot flame extinguishes, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the pilot flame comes on correctly (Fig. 8).
   

6. At this point, to start the burner, slowly turn the thermostatic adjustment knob anti-clockwise until it stops, corresponding to the number 7 on the knob.

7. When the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly rotate the knob clockwise until the burner stops: the pilot flame will stay always on and at this point the stove ignites and shuts down autonomously, maintaining the desired temperature.
   ATTENTION: the numbers on the knob are only a reference for the position.

N.B.: When the stove is ignited for the first time, and any time the cylinder needs replacing, the pilot light will need a little more time to come on. This is due to the air present in the gas circuit.
N.B.: When the stove is ignited for the first time, it generates a little smoke. This will not happen again.

4.2 Shutting off
Turn gas off at the regulator in accordance with the regulator instructions. In the “OFF” position the valve is closed, but the regulator will remain attached to the cylinder valve. Ensure that it is well closed. Only after the regulator handle has been correctly closed can the applianceswitched off completely.

4.3 Replacing the cylinder
When replacing the cylinder, ensure that the room is suitably ventilated.
Ensure that the gas valve is safely closed.
Do not use any tool to remove the pressure regulator: just disconnect the regulator in accordance with the regulator instructions.
Attention! Install the new cylinder by following the instructions given in this manual.

4.4 Storage (how to store the stove)
When the stove is not in use, it must be stored without the cylinder. It must be put in its original packaging, covered using a nylon bag and stored in a dry place so that no dust, insects or insects nest can enter the components of the stove.

4.5 Packaging for private transport
To prevent damaging the appliance during transport, the gas stove must be packed in its original packaging and the cylinder must be removed. Fasten the gas hose and the pressure regulator.
