APPOINTMENT OF THE DEVICE
The gas heater is designed to heat workplaces and areas in industrial premises and on open areas of construction sites, warehouses, greenhouses, terraces, workshops, garages, etc., public premises with temporary residence of people. This heater is convenient and easy to install, efficient and economical to use due to minimal losses, increased heat transfer and the most comfortable distribution of heat flow. The gas heater absolutely does not require any connection to the power supply. The possibility of local installation in a place where heating is required ensures fuel economy. The thermal radiation of a gas heater, like sunlight, is weakly absorbed by air and reaches heated surfaces almost without loss.

INSTALLATION
Minimal distances from other surfaces: (view from above)
Beginning
-
Carefully remove the device from its packaging.
-
Ensure that there is no crumble of polystyrene foam or other debris remaining on the ceramic gas burner and other parts of the appliance.
-
Install the paronite / rubber gasket inside the union nut, making sure that it is intact, and carefully screw the nut onto the outlet of the previously prepared gas cylinder of the appropriate volume (gas cylinder is not included in the delivery set, it is sold separately). Twisting the hose is strictly prohibited.
-
Slowly turn the gas regulator (cylinder valve) to make sure there is no gas leak. To do this: Lubricate all connections with soapy water. In case of a gas leak, bubbles form in leaking places. If a gas leak is detected, turn off the gas supply and contact your dealer or the authorized service center.
ATTENTION!
It is necessary that all places of gas connections and pipes are absolutely tight to avoid the slightest gas leak. NEVER USE MATCHES, LIGHTERS, OR OTHER OPEN FLAME SOURCES TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Use soapy water. -
Install the gas cylinder in the intended place inside the device and secure it with the holder.
-
Move the heater to the intended place of work in compliance with the rules and precautions described in the “Safeguards” section of this manual.
-
The device is ready to work.
ATTENTION!
It is forbidden to use a gas heater in apartments of multi-story buildings,
bedrooms, bathrooms, basements and in damp rooms.
- When switching on for the first time, it is recommended that you first turn on the heater outside in the open air, after which it can be used indoors.
- The room in which the gas heater is used must have natural ventilation.
- Do not use the heater while sleeping.
- Do not use hoses and pressure reducers that are not certified, not recommended by the manufacturer or with unsuitable characteristics for connecting the device.
- Always use only the type of gas specified by the manufacturer.
- Make sure that the gas cylinder is always in an upright position while the appliance is in operation. Using the cylinder in any other position may lead to an emergency, device failure and serious damage to you and /or your property.
- It is forbidden to move the heater or cover it with anything during its operation, and also after turning it off, if it has not cooled down.
- The heater should be installed for operation so that it is placed with the front panel towards the center of the room, while the distances to the walls or other objects on the sides and behind the device should be at least 1 m.
ATTENTION!
Installation of the cylinder is prohibited:
- in living rooms and corridors;
- in basement and basement rooms and attics;
- in rooms located below and above: dining and trading rooms of catering establishments; classrooms, halls of buildings; hospital wards; other similar facilities;
- in rooms without natural light;
- at emergency entrances;
- from the main building facades.
In case of fire:
- block access of gas by the locking device (valve);
- use a powder or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher or cover with blanket.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
Ventilation
During the operation of the gas heater, the oxygen contained in the air is
burned and carbon dioxide (CO2) is released.
It is important to remember that the operation of a gas ceramic heater is
permissible only in well-ventilated areas. This allows to maintain the
necessary concentration of oxygen in the air and remove products of
combustion.
IM2022
In closed, poorly ventilated rooms, during the operation of the heater, a
hard-to-breathe atmosphere may be created and a lack of oxygen may form. If
the oxygen concentration drops below 18%, the ODS (oxygen level monitoring
sensor) will work and turn off the heater. In this case, it is necessary to
ventilate the room before turning on the heating mode again.
ATTENTION!
Do not use the gas ceramic heater in rooms with a volume of less than 84 m3.
The minimum area of the vent must be at least 105 cm2.
The required air exchange is 10 m3 / h per 1 kW of heat output of the heater.
Control panel
Fig. 8
-
Gas adjustment knob
Used to supply gas to the burner and select the heating mode:
1st stage ( position),
2nd stage ( position) -
3rd step ( position)
-
Piezo ignition button
Used to ignite the burner.
Turning on
- Gently unscrew the gas cylinder valve.
- Press and gently turn the gas adjustment knob on the control panel to the (1 ) position (Fig. 8). Continue to hold down the gas adjustment knob for 20-30 seconds. Press the piezo ignition button several times at a time until the gas burner lights up. Each time you press the piezo ignition button, you can hear a loud click and see a spark on the piezo ignition electrode. Continue to hold the gas adjustment knob pressed for 10-15 seconds from the moment the ignition torch ignites to activate the flame detector.
- Leave the gas adjustment knob in this position for at least 5 minutes to permanently ignite the first heating stage. The pilot (gas) burner and the central element of the ceramic burner will burn. This position corresponds to a thermal power of 1.4 kW.
- To change the heating level, slightly press the gas adjustment knob and smoothly turn it counterclockwise until it locks in position, OR which will correspond to a heating thermal power of 2.8 kW and 4.2 kW.
- Do not leave the gas adjustment knob in the intermediate position between the fixed positions, and1 ,2 AND
Turning off
- Press the gas adjustment knob and turn it to the position, while the gas (pilot) burner and the central element of the ceramic burner will burn.
- Turn the valve on the gas cylinder clockwise until it stops, the gas burner (pilot) and the central element of the ceramic burner should go out.
- If you do not plan to use the heater in the near future, disconnect the gas cylinder from the gas reducer. Take the gas cylinder to the storage place in accordance with the recommendations and requirements described in this manual.
Gas cylinder replacement
- Make sure the heater is turned off.
- If you need to replace an empty gas cylinder, turn off the gas supply by turning the gas valve on the cylinder fully clockwise.
- Remove the cylinder lock and remove the cylinder from the heater body.
- Remove the gas reducer from the cylinder by unscrewing the union nut of the reducer.
- Connect and install a full gas cylinder as indicated in the “Installation” paragraph.
ATTENTION!
Do not smoke while replacing the cylinder.
Do not replace the cylinder if there is an open source of flame nearby.
Store gas cylinders in a separate, well-ventilated area, away from combustible
materials. It is forbidden to store and operate gas cylinders in apartments of
multi-story buildings, basements, attics.
CLEANING AND MAINTANANCE
- Regularly check the integrity of the gas hose between the gas pressure reducer and the gas valve of the device. If damage to the hose is detected, the device must not be operated, hose must be replaced.
- Regularly check all gas connections, tubes and devices for gas leaks (using soapy water). If a gas leak is detected, immediately stop operating the heater, disconnect the gas cylinder and contact the dealer or an authorized service center.
- The device must be washed regularly to remove dust and dirt from external surfaces, as this affects the efficiency of its work and the temperature parameters of heating the room. Before carrying out maintenance work, turn off the appliance, let it cool, then wipe its surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- It is not recommended to use detergents for washing, including abrasive products. Do not damage the device with sharp objects, as scratches on the painted surface can lead to rust.
- The back surface of the gas heater must also be periodically cleaned of dust and dirt. The preventive cleaning procedure should be carried out periodically to maintain the technical condition of the heater and preserve its appearance for many years.
