VENTILATION:
USE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTILATED ROOM. DO NOT CHANGE CYLINDERS IN THE PRESENCE
OF NAKED LIGHT OR FLAME
USING ENVIRONMENT
Your heater consumes oxygen while it is in use. For that reason, adequate
ventilation should be provided in areas in which the heater is used. This
ensures the removal of products of combustion and allows the entry of
replacement air.
Adequate ventilation should considerably reduce the possibility of
condensation occurring. The following table shows the smallest sizes of room
suitable for each heat setting and the Ventilation which should be provided.
FOR INFRARED MODELS:
Number of Radiants Continuously IN USE| ROOM SIZE|
VENTILATION
---|---|---
Low Level| High Level

Lighting instructions
The heater must only be used when:
The heater is mounted in its stand. The regulator supplied must be securely
fitted to the gas hose supplied using one of the screwed clips supplied and
the gas hose must also be securely fitted to the hose outlet of the gas valve
on the heater with one of the screwded clips supplied The heater must be
placed on flat level ground with the heater radiant element facing away from
the cylinder with the hose trailing at the rear of the appliance. The heater
must never be used separated from its stand unit.
Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder valve following the instructions
supplied with the regulator to ensure correct connection tighten with a
correctly fitting wrench.
Turn on the cylinder valve and check for leakage on the regulator to gas
cylinder connection, the gas hose to gas regulator connection and the gas hose
to the heater valve connection with soapy water or leak detection fluid. If
bubbles are showing the connection has a leak. Turn off the cylinder valve and
retighten the connections. If a gas leak is still present after a second gas
leak check consult your gas supplier.
If the heater is sound turn on the gas at the cylinder valve . Position the
control knob so that the orientation dot is at a 6 O’clock position and
depress fully. It will take at least 90 seconds to purge the air from the gas
hose before gas starts to appear at the pilot assembly. During this period
repeatedly press the piezo ignitor button on the back of the heater until the
pilot flame ignites. When the pilot flame is alight continue to hold the
control knob down to warm the thermocouple probe. If the pilot flame fails to
remain alight, repeat the process until the pilot flame holds. To fully ignite
the heater then slightly depress the control knob with the orientation dot at
the 6 O’Clock position and make a full quarter turn anti clockwise. Both
heater plaques will now ignite. THIS HEATER IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THERE IS ONLY
ONE SETTING.
REPLACING AN EMPTY CYLINDER
- Cylinders must be replaced in a non-flammable and non-smoking environment.
- When you need to replace your empty cylinder, turn the gas off first.
- Unscrew the regulator from the Valve of the cylinder and take the empty cylinder away from the heater.
- Make sure that the heater is extinguished completely before you change the cylinder.
IMPORTANT
- It is important that all gas connections have been correctly made to prevent any leakage. Never use a match for gas leakage check. Use soapy solution or gas leak detection spray to check leakage..
- Use your cylinder always in upright position. Using the cylinders in horizontally layed down position will damage your heater and create serious safety conditions.
- If a newly-filled cylinder is used, ignition might impair as there may be some inert gas present in the cylinder. In this case, change the cylinder with another one which is partially used.
- This appliance requires a hose and a regulator. Please seek advice from your gas and regulator supplier so as to use correct hose.
- The guard on the appliance is to prevent risk of fire or injury form burns and it should not be permanently removed.

2. Pilot will not light automatically but points (a) to (b) are satisfactory
and the pilot will light with a match.| Incorrect position of spark in
relation to pilot gas flow.| Re-position spark electrode so that spark jumps
across gas flow.
3. Heater will not remain alight when pressure is released from the control
button.| Electro-magnetic valve closes whilst heater is alight.| (a) Ensure
that thermocouple probe is located in pilot flame. .
(b) Ensure good connection between thermocouple and valve.
(c)Check thermocouple.
(d)Check electromagnetic valve.
4.After changing to maximum position both plaques alight. One or more plaques
appear below normal intensively.| Blocked jet
Partially blocked gas hose.| (a)Remove and clean blocked jet.
(b)Remove gas hose, and blow through the tube.

Position of the pilot flame.| (a) Change the location of the appliance so that
it is not
adversely affected by air draught.
(b) Position pilot so that flame impinges across bottom corner of 2 plaque as
well as Is’ plaque.
