WARNING

Read the manual through carefully before using the Gas-Outdoor stove (neocube-o), and keep the manual safely to hand.

  • It is dangerous and illegal to use this unit in an enclosed space! The unit has been developed for outdoor use.
  • This product and, if applicable, the gas cylinder should be installed in accordance with the instructions in this manual, as well as with all applicable national and/or local regulations.
  • The distance from flammable materials to the fireplace should be at least 1.5 metres.
  • Never leave the fire unattended.
  • Do not move the gas outdoor fireplace when it is hot or in operation.
  • Keep children out of reach of the product while it is in use and until it has completely cooled down.
  • Caution! Touching the hot parts can cause blisters! A safety device has to be provided to keep children as well as frail or disabled people from coming too near to the unit.
  • Before moving this outdoor stove, close the valve on the compressed gas bottle or the pressure regulator.
  • Always shut off the gas valve before moving the product.
  • Shut off the gas supply after use.
  • Never perform repairs on your own and do not make any changes to the unit.
  • Do not block the air flow in the direction of the burner and/or the injector.
  • Do not interfere with the air flow in the direction of the gas cylinder housing.
  • In the case of strong wind, place the unit in a sheltered location to prevent it from overturning.
  • In the event of a gas leak, close the gas cylinder or shut the gas valve connected to the main gas supply.
  • If you install a (separate) device in which to place the gas cylinder, be sure that the cylinder is well ventilated. Propane is heavier than air, and an accumulation of this gas can have dangerous consequences. If you have any questions about the instructions in this manual, please contact your sales outlet.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Packaging contents:

  • base frame including ceramic
  • gas burner
  • lava stones
  • glass
  • 4 x glass retaining clips
  • 4 x stainless steel screws for gas burner
  • attachment for gas bottle
  • operating manual

Unpacking:
Once you have unpacked everything, you should dispose of the packaging appropriately.

Usage:
If your gas fire is set up in commercial areas, use a pressure reducer with a pressure relief valve. This is available for purchase as an optional component.

External setup:
The gas stove should not be exposed to inclement weather for extended periods. To protect it against rain, snow etc., the weather protection hood is available as an optional accessory.

Attention: If you need help when connecting up the outdoor stove, please contact your specialist retailer.

INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS
  1. Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder (left-handed thread) (the maximum allowable filling amount is 10.5 kg).
    To do so, use suitable (adjustable) pliers. It is not enough to tighten it by hand; This could allow a leak to occur. Replace the gas cylinder only in well- ventilated areas and not near candles, cigarettes or other flammable sources.

  2. Caution: Before connecting the pressure regulator, always ensure that the rubber gasket is present and undamaged. If not, the device must not be used until the gasket is replaced.

  3. Make sure that the gas cylinder is always standing upright. The gas hose must not come into contact with sharp objects or edges which could damage the inner tube. Be sure that the gas hose does not come into contact with hot parts of the burner.

  4. Check all of the connections for leaks. To do so, moisten all of the gas connections with soapy water or use a gas leak detection spray. If bubbles arise in the suds or the gas leak detection spray, there is a leak.

  5. Place the supplied lava stones (8-16 mm) in the shape of a small pile (Fig. 1 b) or a bank (Fig. 1 C) on the writer rim well.

Be sure that no small pieces of stone enter the burner. Also be sure that no stones are lying on the thermal element. The fireplace is now ready for use.

Warning: Check the gas hose at least once a month as well as each time you change the gas cylinder. If the hose shows signs of cracks or other damage, it should be replaced by a tube of the same length and quality

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR NATURAL GAS
  1. Secure the gas stove in such a way that it cannot be moved once the gas pipe has been connected up.

  2. The gas pipe must be installed by a recognised specialist installer in accordance with all applicable and/or local standards and provisions.

  3. Spread the lava stones supplied with the stove (approx. 0.9 kg – 8-16 mm) over the fire bed in the form of a small heap.
    Ensure that no small stone chips enter the burner. Ensure that there are no stones on the thermocouple.

  4. Check all of the connections for leaks. Coat all gas connections with soap lye or use a gas leak detector spray.
    If bubbles arise in the suds or the gas leak detection spray, there is a leak.

  5. The stove is now ready to use.

  4. In order for the gas to be able to flow to the burner, the tip-protection (Fig. 3) has to be aligned horizontally
SWITCHING THE UNIT ON
  1. Turn the ignition knob on the gas control panel (Fig. 4) as far to the right as possible. Push in the ignition knob. Then, turn it to the left, keeping it pushed in until you hear a “click” (Fig. 5). This “click” is the ignition of the pilot light. If necessary, repeat this process 3-5 times until the pilot light is burning.
  2. Once the pilot light is lit, continue holding in the ignition knob for another 10 seconds. Then release the ignition knob.
  3. If the pilot light goes out, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the pilot light starts burning.
    Caution: If a new gas cylinder is installed or the fireplace has not been used for a while, you first have to release the air from the gas hose. This may take a while before the pilot light ignites.
BURNER FLAME

After the pilot light starts burning, the ignition knob (Fig. 6) has to be turned to the left. Now the main burner (Fig 1) is supplied with gas.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT
  1. The desired height of the gas flame can be adjusted by turning the flame height controller (Fig. 7) to the right or left.
  2. For a lower gas flame, turn the knob clockwise to the right (Fig. 8).
  3. For a higher gas flame, turn the knob clockwise to the left **(Fig. 7)

**

SWITCHING THE UNIT OFF
  • By turning the ignition knob to the right again (Fig. 4), you will shut off the gas supply and the fire will go out. Then, the gas cylinder has to be closed.
WARNING – IF YOU SMELL GAS

Never ignite the unit if you smell gas. If the unit is on when you smell gas, you have to interrupt the gas supply (close the gas cylinder or the gas valve). Then, check all of the connections for leaks. To do so, moisten all of the gas connections with soapy water or use a gas leak detection spray. If bubbles arise in the suds or the gas leak detection spray, there is a leak. You can only use the unit again after all the leaks have been sealed. Please consult your dealer, if necessary

REMOVING THE GLASS CASING

The glass casing is fitted on the body and is secured on the sides with four steel lugs. (Fig. 9)
The steel lugs are inserted through the coated body and are secured in the gas cylinder compartment with four cotter pins (Fig. 10).
To take off the glass casing, the four cotter pins must be removed from the steel lugs (Fig. 11).
Then the glass can be carefully lifted up **(Fig. 12).

    This can cause cracks to appear. The combustion chamber linings will remain fully functional, provided they are still in position and are not broken.

  • the upper surfaces: discolouration of the coating or galvanic surfaces, due to excessive thermal loading or over-heating.

  • the push-up mechanism: failure to comply with installation guidelines, resulting in over-heating of the guide rollers and bearings.

  • seals: reductions in sealing strength due to seal hardening as a result of thermal loading.

  • glass ceramics: soiling, due to soot or other burnt-on combustionmaterials and visual deterioration due to thermal loading.

  • careless transportation or incorrect storage

  • inappropriate or careless handling of fragile components, such as glass or ceramics

  • incorrect operation and/or use

  • lack of maintenance

  • incorrect installation or equipment connection
