Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Ensure that a minimum of one hot air outlet vent is permanently open at all times. This should ideally be the first outlet and not more than approximately 1 metre from the heater. When operating using gas, the combustion air flue and outlet openings for the products of combustion (exhaust flue) shall never be obstructed. They should be checked regularly, and if necessary cleaned by the user (e.g. in winter, snow shall be removed from the combustion outlet and air intake).
Where the open end of the exhaust flue terminates, three sides of the under- floor space are to be kept open and not obstructed, and not contain through floor ventilation openings. The heater, its gas supply and flues for the products of combustion are to be inspected in accordance with national regulations or if these do not exist, the manufacturer’s recommendations, however, it is advised that this should be done at least annually.
The Propex Space Heater should be checked periodically by a Propex approved Technician, or competent person, at least annually. This should be completed according to the practice in the country where it is used and according to the Propex instructions. We recommend annual testing of gas soundness and combustion by an accredited LPG gas engineer. The appliance contains ESD sensitive components and therefore should only be opened by Propex. The inlet vents of the heater should never be blocked and ensure that a minimum of one hot air outlet vent is permanently open at all times.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For the operation of the heater, a 12V d.c. supply must be connected at all times. To operate the heater’s electric elements, it must also be connected to a suitable 230V a.c. supply.
-
Fan only operation:
Turn the selector knob to the fan on ( ) position. -
Gas operation:
Turn the selector knob to the gas on (flame) position. There will be a pre- purge pause of approx. 30 sec’s to allow any un-burnt gas to leave the flue. A green LED will light upon successful flame ignition. If there is air in the gas supply line it may take a few attempts for the gas to ignite. See section 9 for gas lockout re-setting. If the ignition is not satisfactory the red LED will flash, refer to the trouble shooting guide (see section 9). -
Electric operation:
The space heater is equipped with 3 power settings 500W / 1000W / 2000W. Turn the selector knob to low power setting ( ) for 500W. Turn the selector knob to medium power setting ( ) for 1000W. Turn the selector knob to high power setting ( ) for 2000W. When operating on low and medium electric power settings the blown air fan runs at a reduced speed to minimise noise and current draw.
Note: The electric elements will still operate if the appliance is in gas ignition lock-out. -
The appliance cannot be operated simultaneously with both gas and mains electric heating.
-
Switching the appliance off:
Turn the selector knob to the Off position ( ).Note that the fan will continue to run for 3 minutes to allow the heater to cool down. -
Adjusting the temperature:
Turn the temperature control knob clockwise to increase and anti- clockwise to reduce the room temperature. The heater will automatically turn itself on and off to maintain the desired ambient temperature. Note that the controls incorporate a low frost protection setting. This can be activated by turning the temperature control knob fully anti-clockwise.
MAINTENANCE
If the heater has not been used for some time dust may have settled inside the heater and the ducting. Run the heater on the “Fan only” setting until it clears. The outside of the appliance should not normally require cleaning. If it does, isolate the electrical supplies and wipe down with a soft, damp cloth only. Allow to fully dry before reconnecting the electrical supplies.
The Propex Space Heater should be checked periodically by a competent person, at least annually. This should be completed according to the practice in the country where it is used and according to the Propex instructions. We recommend annual testing of gas soundness and combustion by an accredited LPG gas engineer. The appliance contains ESD sensitive components and therefore should only be opened a Propex.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The heater is equipped with an electronic diagnostic system which will detect fault conditions ranging from poor gas or d.c. supply to internal heater malfunctions. In the unlikely event of a failure, the red light on the control panel will flash a number of times, pause, and repeat until switched off. Count the number of flashes and refer to the table below.

Lockout Clearing Procedure
The lockout must be cleared by turning the ‘Fan Only’ setting on the
control panel, ‘on’, ‘off’ and ‘on’ again within 2.5 seconds. If the first
lockout reset attempt is unsuccessful, you can retry an additional 4 times. If
the lockout still will not clear (identified by a solid LED), please turn off
the heater, check the heater for faults, power up the heater and then further
lockout reset attempts can be made. If the problem persists contact Propex.
WINTERISING
When using the heater in winter ensure the flues are not blocked by snow or
fallen leaves etc. When the Space Heater is not going to be used for a long
period of time, we recommend that the open end of the combustion air and
exhaust flue are covered to prevent ingress of leaves etc.
