HEATER STAND AND LOCATION

• The heater is for outdoor use only. Always ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.
• Always maintain proper clearance to combustible materials of at least 2 meters.
• Do not place it near to your house.
• Do not place near to shed, garage or fences.
• Do not place under the roof covering or low overhanging trees
• Do not place near power sources or under overhanging power cables.
• The heater must be placed on level firm ground. Ensure that castor wheels are locked into place.
• The appliance is fitted ‘Overturn Shut Off Device’. If the appliance is tilted or does not stand vertically or was to fall over it will automatically shut off gas supply and the appliance would shut down.
• Never operate a heater in an explosive atmosphere where petroleum or other flammable liquids and gases are stored.

Gas hose & Regulator
Regulators and hose must comply with EN16129, EN16436-1, and EN16436-2, in addition to applicable national regulations.
WARNING!!!
It’s extremely important that you DO NOT route the gas hose the directly under the burner. Do not allow the hose to touch any part of the burner or heater. The hose should be located so that it is not subjected to undue strain or placed where is could be damaged.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

• Use propane or butane gas only.
• Always use the correct pressure regulator and hose assembly suitable for the gas cylinder. Contact your local gas supplier for further advice if needed.
• Dented, rusted or damaged gas cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your gas supplier.
• Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve connection.
• Never connect an unregulated gas cylinder to the heater.

Maximum Gas Bottle Size

Notice-Gas bottle Chain
When the gas bottle is placed in the cabinet, you must be holding on to the door chain as below picture.

LEAKAGE TEST

Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. A complete leakage test should be performed at the installation due to possible mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure being applied to the heater.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be applied with a spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear in case of a leak.
• The heater must be checked with a full cylinder.
• Make sure the safety control valve is in the ‘OFF’ position.
• Turn the gas supply from the cylinder ON.
• In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and recheck.
• Never do a leak test while smoking.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Open the cabinet door and put the gas cylinder into the cabinet.
• Make sure to turn the control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.
• Connect the regulator to the gas bottle.
• Turn the gas supply “ON” at the cylinder. Check with the use of soapy water for any gas leakage between the cylinder and the regulator
• Push down the control knob and keep pressing whilst turning anti-clockwise to the “Ignition” position (a click will be heard), this will light the pilot.
• If the click is not heard repeat this process. Note that when first connecting the heater to the gas cylinder there will be air in the gas hose or the rest of the system. Keep pressing the control valve knob for about 1 minute to purge the air and allow gas into the system.
• Once the pilot burner is lit, keep the control knob pressed for 5 seconds then release it.
• If the burner does not stay alight, repeat the above steps again.
• Adjust the heat setting by turning the control knob to the ‘High’ or ‘Low’ position.
• To shut down the heater turn the gas cylinder valve or regulator switch to the ‘OFF’ position and then turn the control valve knob on the appliance clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.

WARNING:
If the burner fails to ignite, turn the control valve knob ‘OFF’ (clockwise) and turn the gas cylinder valve ‘OFF’.
Wait for five minutes before attempting to relight with the ignition sequence.

AFTER USE & STORAGE

• Turn the control knob on the appliance clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
• Turn the gas supply off at the cylinder.
• Do not leave the area until the flames have fully extinguished.
• Children must not be left unattended straight after use as the appliance will still be hot for some time.
• Check gas valve for tightness and damage. If damage is suspected this must be changed by a qualified technician.
• Always store gas cylinders in well-ventilated areas.
• Once the heater has cooled down it can be moved to an alternative location such as the garage of the shed.
• Once the heater has cooled down it is safe to use a rain cover for protection.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• Ensure all cleaning is done whilst the heater is turned off and fully cooled down.

• Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

• Do not use any corrosive or combustible cleaning solutions.

• Keep the outdoor fire covered when not in use to stop rain from blocking the burner jets.

• Make sure the burner is kept clean and clear of combustible materials and dirt.

• Soot can build up on the glass beads, lava rocks, and ceramics logs. This could block burner jets so remove the fuel bed and wipe with a damp cloth to clean the soot.

• Soot can build up on the surrounding safety glass. Carefully remove the glass from the glass bracket with a relative screwdriver, wipe soot with a soft, damp cloth, then carefully replace it. Two people may be required to disassemble and reassemble of the surrounding safety glass.

• Ensure the condition of the gas hose is suitable and shows no signs of cracking or general wear & tear.

• It is advised to get the appliance check by a qualified technician every 3 years.

• If the burner jets do get blocked by soot or other dirt then remove the fuel bed and use a pin or paperclip.
  Ensure the burner is switched

• Follow the above maintenance steps on a regular basis.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST

The pilot will not light or stay on

• Ensure the gas supply is turned on and the cylinder is not empty.
• Press the ignition button several times. Ensure to keep the main gas lever pressed in for at least 10 seconds.
• If the ignition button stays stuck in then lubricate with WD40 whilst the heater is not lit.
• Keep trying as air can get trapped in pipes and can take some time to purge all the air out of the system.
• Check that glass or lava rocks or other debris are not covering the pilot.
• Check to see if any connections are loose and tighten if required.
• Check to see if there is a leak in the gas hose. Replace if required.
• Try lighting the pilot with a match or lighter if the spark electrode is wet or damaged.
• Ensure that the appliance is on level ground and completely vertical as the ‘Overturn Shut Off Device’ may have been triggered.

The burner will not light
When the pilot is lit, there should be no reason the main burner would not light.

• If the pilot is lit but the burner does not light check if too much glass or lava rock is around the pilot assembly.
  This could block the pilot light from igniting the main burner.

• If the pilot is lit but the burner does not light there could be damage to the control valve. This would need replacing by a qualified technician.

• If the pilot is not lit the flame failure device has cut off the gas supply. Wait 3 minutes, then try relighting the pilot.

• Ensure that the appliance is on level ground and completely vertical as the ‘Overturn Shut Off Device’ may have been triggered.

Main Burner suddenly goes out.

• If the pilot is extinguished for any reason (sudden gust of wind or it started raining) then the main gas supply would automatically cut off.
• Turn the control lever to the ‘OFF’ position, and leave for 3 minutes before relighting the pilot.
• Once the pilot is lit the main burner will work.
• The gas cylinder may be empty. If so, replace the cylinder with a full one.
• Ensure that the appliance is on level ground and completely vertical as the ‘Overturn Shut Off Device’ may have been triggered.
