GENERAL INFORMATION

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. Remove heater from the carton and remove any transit protection material. The appliance must be placed on level ground.
   a. The appliance area must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.
   b. Gas orifices and burner must be kept clear of dirt and cobwebs. Flow of combustion and ventilation air through the perforated portions of the appliance must not be obstructed.
   c. Any cleaning agent used on the appliance should be of a non-combustible and non-corrosive nature.

2. Proper clearance from combustible materials must be maintained at all times.
   Minimum Clearance from Combustibles:
   Side 600mm Top 600mm
   Combustible materials are considered to be wood,compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, plexiglas or other materials capable of being ignited and burned. Such materials shall be considered combustible even though flame proofed,  fire-retardant treated or plastered. Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted surfaces and other materials which may be damaged by radiant or convection heat.

3. Check that the seals between the appliance and the gas cartridge are in place and in good
   condition before connecting the gas container.

4. Ensure the cartridge lever is in its uppermost position (OFF).

5. Close the control valve by turning knob clockwise.

6. Remove the cap from the gas cartridge. Open the cartridge cover on the rear of the heater, check the sealing washer is in position and in good condition.

7. Insert the cartridge, valve first, so that the slot in the cartridge aligns with the valve tab (see fig.1). Close the cartridge cover.

8. Engage the cartridge by pressing the cartridge lever downwards (See fig.2). DO NOT force this lever. If you hear “hissing” noise the cartridge has not been correctly fitted and you should repeat the connection procedure.

9. Turn the control valve fully anti-clockwise until the ignition device “clicks” (See fig.3). If ignition does not occur, repeat this process.

10. Extinguish by turning control knob fully clockwise and releasing (pushing up) the cartridge lever. Check that heater is fully extinguished before leaving unattended.

SAFETY DEVICES

This heater is equipped with a safety device that will stop the flow of gas if the pressure in the cartridge becomes to high. This may be as a result of overheating. This device will automatically reset and will allow continued use once the  pressure in the gas cartridge returns to normal.
WARNING: NEVER force the cartridge lever as this will result in permanent damage.

AFTER USE
Turn the control knob to the ‘OFF’ position (fully clockwise) and push the cartridge lever up to its off position.
In an emergency the heater can be switched off by pushing the cartridge lever upwards.
For your own safety, always remove the gas cartridge after use.
Fit the cartridge with its protective cap and store in a cool well ventilated place.
REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE
Check that the heater is off by turning control knob fully clockwise, releasing the cartridge lever (push up) and checking that the heater has fully extinguished.
Only change the gas cartridge in a well ventilated location, preferably outside, away from people and away from any sources of ignition; such as naked flames, pilot flames, electric heaters/equipment.

STORAGE
Once fully cooled, disconnect the heater from the cartridge and store both in a cool, well-ventilated place.

MAINTENANCE
