INSTALLATION

VENTILATION

It is essential that adequate ventilation is provided and maintained in the room where the heater is installed. The heater needs a fresh air supply to run efficiently. Ensure that any ventilation grilles in the room are open and not blocked. If there are no ventilation grilles, a window or outside door will need to be opened. If the room begins to feel stuffy, more ventilation may be needed. See required room ventilation opening below.
✗ DO NOT place the heater in a corridor or where it is likely to be exposed to strong draughts.
The heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) fitted. This will shut the heater down if not enough fresh oxygen content is available.
If the heater shuts down, DO NOT relight it until extra ventilation is sourced.
The heater MUST NOT be used in rooms having less than 15m³ volume (30m³ for living rooms). See table below.

4.1.5. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas which can be produced if the heater is not working correctly. It is difficult to recognise as it has no colour, odour or taste. Some symptoms of CO poisoning are:
Weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, (severe) headache, convulsions, coma, slowed respiration, depressed heart action, tightness across the forehead. If the exposure is severe it can cause death.
If the heater is showing any signs of the following it could be producing Carbon Monoxide:
Ceramic burner panels are dull, gas burns with a blue haze, soot deposits on the burner panels, burner panels or cement fixings are damaged, heater does not burn quietly. If there are any of these signs and/or any of the symptoms present, switch the heater off and have it checked by a qualified gas engineer.

CONNECTIONS

Remove all the packaging from the heater.
A standard Butane gas cylinder up to a maximum size of 15kg is required.
Connecting the regulator to the gas cylinder – ensure that the regulator tap is in the ‘Closed’ position (fig.3) and that the heat control dial is in the ignition position1 (fig.5) before doing so. Remove the cap from the gas cylinder, place the regulator onto the gas cylinder and push down firmly and vertically. A clicking sound should be heard, indicating that the regulator is securely installed (if it is difficult to push down, slight pressure on the release button may be needed). NEVER attempt to install or remove the regulator whilst the tap is in the ‘Open’ position (fig.4).
Turn the regulator tap to the ‘Open’ position, by lifting the release button first (fig.3).
Check the hose and fittings for gas leaks. WARNING! DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME to check for leaks, the use of a foamy soap solution or leak detector spray is recommended.
Remove the gas cylinder retainer (fig.2.D) from its transit position in the heater, by removing the four screws. Carefully lift and install the gas cylinder into the heater, seek help lifting the gas cylinder if required. Ensure that the flexible gas supply hose does not get trapped or kinked. Retain the gas cylinder with the gas cylinder retainer, using the 4 screws to fix it into place (fig.2.D).
Site the heater in the preferred location, ensuring all safety instructions in section 1 are adhered to.

OPERATION

TURNING HEATER ON

NOTE: A safety feature of the heater switches the heater off, if nudged, tilted or transported.

Ensure that the heat control dial is turned to the ignition position 1 (fig.5) and that the regulator gas tap is open (fig.4).
Push down and hold the heat control dial (fig.2.B) and at the same time repeatedly press the ignition button (fig.2.A) to ignite the pilot light (fig.1H). When it has lit, keep holding down the heat control dial for a few more seconds until the thermocouple glows red and then release it. If the pilot light extinguishes, repeat the procedure, holding down the heat control dial down for slight
NOTE: When lighting the heater for the first time after installing a new gas cylinder, it may be necessary to hold down the heat control dial for a longer period, to allow the gas to flow through to the pilot light.
Once the heater is lit, turn the heat control dial to the desired heat setting:
1. Low
2. Med
3. High (Position shown in fig.5).

TURNING HEATER OFF

To turn the heater off, turn the regulator gas tap to the ‘Off’ position (fig.3), wait for a few seconds and turn the heat control dial to the
ignition position 1 (fig.5).

IMPORTANT: The heater can only be turned off using the regulator gas tap. The heat control dial cannot turn off the heater
‰ WARNING: If the heater’s flame does not completely extinguish (including the pilot light) when the gas is turned off, DO NOT remove the regulator. Return the tap to the open position, leave the heater on and contact a competent gas engineer to repair it.

REPLACING THE GAS CYLINDER

‰ WARNING! Only to be undertaken in a flame free atmosphere.

Turn the regulator tap to the closed position (fig.3).
Ensure that the heater control dial is in the ignition position 1 (fig.5).
Hold in the regulator release button (fig.3) and pull the regulator upwards.
NOTE: If the tap is not switched off, the regulator release button will not depress, and the regulator cannot be removed.
Replace the safety cap (or seal) onto the gas cylinder’s valve.
Undo the four screws retaining the cylinder restraint and remove restraint.
Remove the cylinder and follow the instructions in sections 4.2.3. to 4.2.5. to install a new cylinder.

MAINTENANCE

‰ WARNING! Maintenance should be carried out annually by a competent gas engineer. Contact your stockist for your
nearest service agent.
‰ WARNING! Before commencing service or maintenance, turn the heater off, disconnect the heater from the gas supply and allow it to cool down. Use authorised parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Inspect the gas supply hose for signs of deterioration, cracking etc. and replace if necessary. Replacement hoses must conform to BS3212 Type 2 and have a length of 500mm.
Clean the exterior of the heater using a clean, dry, or slightly moistened cloth. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any build up of dust and fluff from the heater’s grille
If storing the heater for a period of time, remove the gas cylinder from it first. Store in a safe, dry, childproof location. After a period of storage, the heater should be examined by a competent gas engineer, prior to its first use.
