ASSEMBLING THE GAS HEATER

• Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents. In addition to the heater you should also have: Directions for Use for the gas heater
• Remove all other packaging materials and check the heater for any damage. If you have any doubts concerning the heater, please contact qualified service personnel. Keep all packaging material out of the reach of young children.
• Unscrew the fixing screws at the rear of the gas heater. Disconnect the rear cover from the heater
• Before connecting the low-pressure regulator, please check and read the following: The gas heater should only be powered by PropaneButane in a container with a maximum weight of 15kg. Connect the low-pressure regulator with a fixed calibration of maximum 30 mbar that complies with EN16129. The hose should be according to national standards. For correct connection, the hose should be connected using metal bands of a suitable size. For correct connection, follow the instructions provided with the low-pressure regulator.
• Slide the two metal rings around the hose. Connect the hose to the hose union of the low-pressure regulator and to that of the tab. Close the metal rings firmly with a screw, but make sure that you do not damage the fitting or any component
• Before connecting the low-pressure regulator to the gas container, make sure that the gas container is closed and that there are no open flames (i.e. a lit oven) in the place where you are working. Connect the low-pressure regulator according to the user instructions that are provided with the low-pressure regulator. Check for gas leaks: see section F
• Place the gas container in its compartment. Take care that the hose is not twisted or obstructed, and that it is unable to touch any hot parts of the heater.
• Hook the cylinder protection baffle (item 5 see below) onto the cylinder compartment by the 4 hooks.

1. Burner effect regulator
2. Gas Main Valve
3. Gas Hose
4. Gas Pressure regulator
5. Protection baffle
6. Gas Cylinder

In addition

• To replace the gas container, make sure that the gas container is closed (follow the user instructions provided with the low-pressure regulator). Let the gas heater cool down first and make sure that there are no open flames or other sources of heat in the area in which you are working
• Only change the gas container in a flame free environment
• In addition it is recommended that the gasket seals of the regulator and the flexible rubber hose be checked to ascertain their condition. If you have any doubt concerning the condition of the hose or the seals, replace them.
• Make sure that you do not damage the connection or any other components;
• Never turn the gas container upside down in order to make full use of the contents. This may release liquid residues left in the container that damage the heater irreparably;
• For disconnection or connection of the low-pressure regulator, always follow the user instructions provided with the regulator;
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any harm or damage if attention is not paid to the points described above.
• Do not twist the flexible tubing or the hose.

INSTALLATION

• Use the gas heater in well-ventilated rooms only. A minimum room size of 84m³ is recommended for living rooms and 50m³ for other rooms, but the room should never be less than 50m³. For ventilation, a surface between 12.5cm² and 25cm² is recommended.
• The room in which the gas heater is used should have enough air circulation for normal combustion. Therefore it is recommended that the room must draw at least 100 cm² from the outside to replace the air;
• Always place the heater on a flat and stable surface. Never install or use the heater in a bathroom or bedroom, in the basement, on the upper floors of a building or in leisure accommodations;
• Never position the gas heater too close to other sources of heat (a distance of at least 1 metre is required between the gas heater and other heating sources) or inflammable or explosive materials. During operation, the gas heater should not face objects that can be damaged or burned;
• Position the heater so that the heat is directed towards the center of the room and towards an open space. In addition, the front, radiant part must be at least 2.0 meter away from any inflammable materials, i.e. curtains or sofas;
• Never operate the gas heater when the gas container is outside the compartment.
• Only replace gas cylinder in a flame free environment.
• Before connecting the GA container to the device o Check and clean the filter of the regulator o Release a little bit of gas (outdoors) from the gascontainer. This will clear present dirt particles to prevent them from entering the pressure regulator or device.

Problem: No flame/no ignition in winter (temp. <7 °C)
Solution: Check whether butane or propane is being used: butane will burn ever more poorly as the temperature drops below 7 °C because it then turns into liquid. With LPG (= propane/butane mixture), it will often help to give the gas cylinder a shake.
Use only a correct low pressure regulator.
Outlet pressure details: see rating label. Do not move the appliance when operating, shocks and bumps may activate the safety device. Do not twist the flexible tubing or hose.

USE

The knobs for turning the gas heater ON are located on the upper part of the heater:

•  Open the gas container (follow the user instructions provided with the low-pressure regulator
• Press down the ignitor button for 10-20 seconds
• After 10-20 seconds: turn button 90 degrees anti clockwise to start ignition
• Press control knob down and wait 20 seconds while pressing down knob, repeatedly turn knob to spark symbol to ,until blue flame is visible
• Keep the button pushed down
• When the flame is stable for 20-40 seconds: turn the knob to higher capacity if necessary. o If flame is extinguished: go back to step 1 and 2. But press down button for 30-40 seconds before turning 90 degrees o Release knob until flame is stable for 20-30 seconds
• Never push down the ignitor button for more than 40 seconds If the heater does not want to ignite: Check whether gas heater is full and give the gas cylinder a good shake (do not turn up side down!) If sure that gas heater is full: Take the heater, your regulator and your gas cylinder to outside.
• Check and clean the filter of the regulator – remove all dirt and particles
• Release a little bit of gas (outdoors!) from the gas container. This will clear present dirt particles to prevent them from entering the pressure regulator or device.

NEVER move the heater when it is hot and/or in operation!

1. To turn OFF the heater:
2. Turn the knob to position 0
3. Close the gas cylinder valve
4. Check that all flames are extinguished

GAS LEAK
If you think there may be a gas leak, please follow this procedure:

• Close the gas container valve. (follow the user instructions for the regulator);
•  Extinguish all open flames, for instance stoves;
•  Open windows in order to increase airflow circulation;
• Turn off electrical devices, for instance lamps;
• Prepare a bucket of soapy water;
• Open the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator);
• Brush the soapy water on all fittings and connections of the gas circuit;
• If there is a gas leak, bubbles will rise up from the location of the leak;
• If a leak is found, close the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator).
• Tighten the fitting and the metal rings of the connection;
• Open the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator) and repeat the procedure again. If there is still a gas leak contact a professional and qualified engineer for help.

ELECTRIC HEATING (GH3062RF HYBRID)

It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection center or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered in order to make significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with an image of a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

Remember that the gas heater consists of the following materials:

• Iron, i.e. the heater cabinet and the burner body.
• Aluminum, gas tubes
• Brass, i.e. the tap and atmosphere analyzer
• Plastic, i.e. the wheels and the piezoelectric igniter.
• Copper covered with rubber, i.e. piezoelectric igniter and the thermocoupl
