follow these instructions may cause fire, injury or death.
- THIS UNIT MUST BE THOROUGHLY CHECKED BEFORE USE.
- Ensure that all the gas fittings are correctly and firmly fitted before every use.
- DO NOT use this heater if you do not clearly understand the instructions and/ or how to operate the controls.
- DO NOT use this heater in an enclosed area, which could restrict airflow, as this is a flue-less heater (It does not have a fixed chimney). Always make sure there is enough fresh air entering the room, by opening a door or window in the same room.
- DO NOT operate this heater in a bedroom, caravan, boat or any area less than 80 cubic meters (roughly 5 x 5 meters).
- DO NOT operate this heater in an area where water and or moisture is present.
- DO NOT leave the heater unattended while in use.
- Ensure that the gas supply is turned OFF after use and while the heater is unattended.
- DO NOT move the heater while in use.
- DO NOT place objects on or against the heater.
- DO NOT attempt to use the heater as a stove.
- NEVER touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.
- DO NOT use a naked flame to test for leaks. Follow the Leak Testing procedure outlined under ‘LEAK TEST’.
- NEVER use this heater with a cylinder other than the size recommended
- DO NOT touch the dress guard (front wire grill), as it gets very hot, while in use or after it has been switched off and is cooling. The dress guard does not give protection. No part of the dress guard should be removed or changed.
- DO NOT unscrew the regulator while the heater is on or if the cylinder valve is open.
- DO NOT use a heater you suspect is faulty.
- When turning the heater off, first turn the gas off at the control valve (on the heater) and then make sure to close the cylinder valve.
- For safety reasons, only a qualified technician may execute maintenance and repairs. The guarantee for the heater will be rendered void if the heater is serviced or repaired by anyone other than an appointed technician.
- The heater should be inspected once a year to make sure the unit is safe and fault free.
- The operator is responsible for the safety of all third parties while the heater is in use.
DO NOT place the heater near walls, curtains or furniture while in use. The
heater should always face the center of the room, as indicated below The recommended positioning of a gas heater in any living
environment.
Always have a clearance of at least 500 mm on the sides and back and ±1000 mm
(1m) in front of it.
METHOD OF ASSEMBLY
This heater makes use of an industrial cylinder (9kg cylinder recommended)
with a horizontal exit valve. If you have bought a new gas cylinder, the
cylinder needs to be purged (cleared out), before its first use. If it is not
purged of air, the heater will not work properly. This should happen at the
gas filling station when you fill up the cylinder. Always check this with your
gas supplier.
WARNING
This heater operates directly with a HORIZONTAL exit valve. (9kg industrial
size) It is NOT to be used with a VERTICAL exit valve.

HEATER SET UP
- Inspect the regulator and ensure the nose cone is present, secure and in good condition. (Figure B)
- The regulator goes directly into the cylinder valve. Always make sure the regulator is pushed fully to the bottom of the cylinder valve before tightening. The use of any adaptors is illegal.
- Screw the regulator into the cylinder valve. DO NOT use a tool to tighten the regulator; it must be hand-tightened only.
- Open the control valve 1½ turns to the left (anti-clockwise). (Figure C)
- Push the control knob down for at least 10 seconds, but DO NOT try to ignite the heater. This will allow gas to flow through the heater, making the leak test possible.
- DO THE LEAK TEST. Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with any electrical components of the heater.
- After leak testing is satisfactorily carried out, fit the rear panel on to the heater. It may be necessary to twist the cylinder slightly to allow the regulator and hose to fit inside the back panel without kinking the hose. Ensure that the hose is positioned away from the heat zone at the back of the cabinet. (Figure E)
NOTE: This heater incorporates a safety device that will shut the heater down in unsafe conditions. In the case of accidental flame failure the gas heater will automatically shut down.
LEAK TEST
The leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free from any flames or other sources of ignition.
- With the cylinder connected to the heater. Open the cylinder valve.
- Brush the connections (heater to cylinder & Hose to valve) with a solution of equal parts soap and water (make sure it’s foamy).
- A stream of bubbles forming indicates a gas leak. (See Fig.F)
- If bubbles appear, turn the cylinder valve OFF (clockwise) and disconnect the heater from the gas cylinder.
- Tighten the connection and retry the leak test.
- A leak between the heater and cylinder can lead to a high-pressure fire, which is very dangerous and can result in extensive injury or even death
Connections to be leak tested:
Regulator into cylinder
Hose to regulator
Hose to appliance
FOR YOUR SAFETY IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Turn off the gas supply at the bottle.
- Extinguish all naked flames. DO NOT operate any electrical appliances.
- Ventilate the area.
- Check for leaks (see LEAK TEST)
- If odour persists, contact your dealer or local gas supplier immediately.
USING YOUR HEATER
This heater can be regulated to three different heat selections: and (Figure
G)
- Open the cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve to the left.
- Press the control knob and turn to setting 1 . Press the red ignition button. Keep pressing the red ignition button till the heater makes an audible ‘click’ sound. You should see a spark. The pilot flame should ignite.
- Once the pilot flame ignites hold down the knob for another 10-15 seconds.
- Repeat step 3 if the pilot flame does not stay lit. This may require more than one attempt.
- Once the pilot flame and centre panel are burning, you can select the settings 2 or 3 by pressing the knob slightly and turning it to the desired setting.
To turn the heater OFF, turn the control knob to the ‘OFF’ position. Once the
heater has extinguished, close the cylinder valve and remove the cylinder
valve for future use.
Take note: On firstlighting a new cylinder or connecting a cylinder after it
has been refilled; you may have to depress the control valve for a longer
period. Never attempt to remove the regulator if the heater is on or if the
cylinder valve is not properly closed.
FLASHBACK (FLAMES IN THE BURNER TUBE)
- If a flashback occurs (indicated by a roaring noise), immediately close the cylinder valve.
- Turn the heater OFF at the control knob.
- Disconnect the regulator and allow the heater to cool.
- Check for blockages in the venturi ports. Clean with compressed air, a small soft brush or pipe cleaners.
- If the problem persists in reuse, have the heater checked by a qualified technician.
CHANGING YOUR CYLINDER
Make sure your cylinder valve is closed (by turning it clockwise). Allow the
heater to fully cool before replacing the cylinder. Open the rear of the
heater to expose the cylinder. (Figure H) Remove and replace the
cylinder. ALWAYS check that the regulator-sealing washer (nose cone) is intact
and in place before reattaching the regulator to a cylinder. (Figure B) DO NOT
attempt to remove the regulator while the heater is on or if the cylinder
valve is not closed.
MAINTENANCE
- Always make sure the heater is OFF and cool, with the cylinder valve closed, before conducting any maintenance.
- Your heater should be checked once a year by a qualified technician.
- If faults are suspected or detected, stop using the heater and contact a qualified service.
- Clean the exterior and storage area of your heater when required to remove dust and prevent lint build up.
- DO NOT use abrasive products to clean the heater; these may damage the paint work.
- While in operation the pilot flame should be steady. If it flickers or is yellow the heater needs to be serviced. (Fig. I)
If any part of the heater is in needs of replacing, use only
original parts. Using any other spare parts is dangerous and will void the
warranty.
When heater is not going to be used for an extended period, keep covered or in
its box, to prevent dust from settling on the panels. When removing the heater
from storage, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the panels before re-use.
