Handling of gas bottles.
Make sure the gas bottles are used and stored in rooms with sufficient air
inlet and outlet. A leaking gas bottle may reduce the share of oxygen in the
inhaled air and therefore represent a risk of suffocation. Before using the
device, always check that the pressure controller seal is correctly fitted and
working properly. Before use, make sure the gas bottle contains gas designed
for the work being done. Gas bottles must always be safely fixed in a vertical
position on a wall support or on a specially manufactured gas bottle cart. The
liquid gas cylinder must be changed in a well-ventilated room or outdoors, and
away from open flames (cigarettes, candles or other devices with open flames).
A gas cylinder with a pressure regulator attached must not be moved. Close the
gas bottle valve after use. The gas bottle valve must be closed during
transport.
Smell of gas or suspect leakage
If you smell gas or suspect a leak, do not use the device. If the device is in
use, the gas supply must be shut off immediately. Immediately open windows and
doors. Do not press any electrical switches (e.g. light switches), do not use
a telephone or similar and do not use any naked flames or sources of ignition!
The device must be checked and any faults remedied before it can be used
again.
Emergency procedure

Maintenance
All activities that require the device to be opened may only be carried out by Güde or authorised specialist companies. Have the device checked annually or after a longer period of storage by a specialist electrical company to ensure that it is in good working order. Check the gas hose lines at least once a month as well as every time the gas cylinder is replaced. If there are any signs of damage, the hose lines must be replaced. The entire device must be checked for correct function including a leak test, once a month. A leak test can be carried out with a leak detection spray or soapy water, for example. Clean the fan blades and the inside of the heater with compressed air every season or as needed. Always keep children and unauthorised persons out of reach of the appliance. Repairs and works specified in these instructions may only be performed by qualified authorised staff. Use only original accessories and original spare parts. Keep the device, in particular the air vents, clean at all times. Never spray water on the device body! Do not clean the plastics with solvents, flammable or toxic fluids.

Disposal
Do not dispose of electrical appliances in household waste; use the local
collection points. Ask your local authority where the collection points are to
be found. If electrical equipment is disposed of in an uncontrolled manner,
weathering can lead to dangerous substances entering the groundwater and from
there the food chain, or the flora and fauna can be poisoned for years. If you
replace the device with a new one, the seller is legally obliged at the least
to take back the old one to be disposed of free of charge
Transport packaging disposal
The packaging protects the machine against damage during transport. Packaging
materials are usually chosen based on environment aspects and waste treatment
principles and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging into material
circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste production. Parts of
packagings (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous for children.
Risk of suffocation! Keep parts of the packagings out of reach of children and dispose them as soon as possible
