Connecting to a gas cylinder

• Recommended to use max. 15 kg or smaller gas cylinder (maximum height 65 cm) refer to your local gas supplier for suitable gas cylinder.
• Never use a gas cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or foot ring. A dented or rusty gas tank may be hazardous and should be checked out by a gas supplier.
• When the appliance is not in use, turn the gas cylinder OFF.
• Only change gas cylinders outdoors or in a well ventilated area away from naked flames and any other source of ignition (candle, cigarettes, other flame producing appliance etc.).
• The gas cylinder must always be used in an upright position.
• Tighten all connections firmly and with a spanner where appropriate.
•  The cylinder should be located on the cylinder base.
  

1. Fix both Velcro tapes onto rear of tank housing using preassembled four M5x12 screws, Ø5 washers, M5 nuts.
2. Position a gas cylinder inside the tank housing.
3. Close the gas cylinder tap, then connect the gas cylinder with a regulator. Please refer to the instructions attached with the regulator on how to connect a regulator with the gas cylinder.
4.  Stick Velcro tapes together as illustrated. The tapes must be in a proper tightness for the gas cylinder.

Note: Please take care that the Velcro tapes, do not strain the regulator assembly!

CAUTION
Risk of fire! Check for leaks at all joints using soapy water. If a leak is found, tighten the joint and then re-test.

Leak testing

WARNING
Risk of explosion! Never use a naked flame to check for leaks. Never smoke during a leak test.

• The gas connections on this appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment.

• This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leaks and an immediate check is required if the smell of gas is detected.

• Make a soap solution using 1 part of liquid dish-washing soap to 3 parts water. The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the leak tested points shown in the figure (right).

• The valve of the gas cylinder should be in the “OFF” position at this point
  of the leak test. Once the soapy solution is applied to the gas connections, the valve of the gas cylinder needs to be turned to the “ON” position.

• Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if a leak is present.

• In case of a leak, turn off the gas supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and recheck.

OPERATION

Before first use and after every gas cylinder change, gas delivery system must be purged of air before igniting! To do this, turn the control knob anticlockwise to the pilot setting. Press knob in and hold for about 3 minutes before attempting ignition.

Battery replacement

Remove impulse ignition cap from Burner Assembly (15) by turning cap counterclockwise. Install 1 AAA battery. Negative end of battery goes in first, then replace impulse ignition cap by turning cap clockwise.

To light the pilot

1. Check all connections prior to each use.
2. Turn on main gas supply at source.
3. Press to turn control knob anti-clockwise to PILOT, see right photo.
4. Hold knob depressed, press IGNITION button repeatedly until pilot flame is lit, then continue to hold the knob depressed for 10 seconds until the pilot remains it after releasing knob.
5. If pilot fails to ignite or alight, press to turn knob clockwise to OFF and repeat.

To light the patio heater

• The pilot should be lit and the knob set to PILOT.
  

• Hold knob depressed gently and turn anti-clockwise to LOW.

• When mesh glows lit, turn knob clockwise from Low to HIGH as needed.

Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the control knob to the pilot position. Then turn the knob to the level of heat desired.

Re-lighting

• Turn Control Knob to OFF.
• Wait at least 5 minutes, to let gas dissipate, before attempting to re-light pilot.
• Repeat the “Lighting” steps.

To extinguish

• Hold knob depressed & turn the knob clockwise to ‘OFF’
• Close the valve of the gas cylinder or the regulator after use.
• Close the gas bottle and allow this appliance to cool before moving the appliance.

Note: After use, some discoloration of the emitter screen is normal. Close regulator after use, allow the appliance to cool before moving.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Perform the following cleaning and maintenance activities on a regular basis.

Cleaning

• Keep exterior surfaces clean.
• Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
• While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all times. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT try to use it. It must be replaced.
• Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulation air passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
  • Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
  • Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
  • Heater glow is excessively uneven.
  • Heater makes popping noises.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the heater and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. If any carbon deposits develop, clean dome and engine with warm soapy water.

Note: In a salt-air environment (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them promptly.

Maintenance

• Contact manufacturer or costumer service for servicing this appliance and replacement of its parts. Maintenance of the appliance may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
• Do not use unauthorized parts or components for this appliance, only use original equipment replacement parts and components. The use of unauthorized parts or components will void the warranty and can create an unsafe condition.

Storage

• There is no limitation on the storage of the appliance indoors provided that the cylinder is removed from the appliance.

Between uses:

• Turn control knob to “OFF”.
• Turn gas cylinder OFF.
• Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
• If desired, cover to protect exterior surfaces and to prevent build up in air passages.

Note: Wait until heater is cool before covering.

During periods of extended inactivity or when transporting:

• Turn control knob to “OFF”.
• Disconnect gas cylinder and move to a secure, well ventilated location outdoors. DO NOT store in a location that will exceed 50 °C.
• Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
• If desired, cover heater to protect exterior surfaces and to prevent build up in air passages

Note: Wait until heater is cool before covering.
