  • Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.

  • Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.

  • Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating in these instructions.

  • DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

  • DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

  • DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.

  • This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 3 pin plug.

  • If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use. Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.

  • Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.

  • Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

  • Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.

  • Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

  • Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight. Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.

GENERAL SAFETY

• WARNING! failure to comply with the precautions and instructions provided with the heater can result in death, serious bodily injury and property loss or damage from the hazards of fire, explosion, burning, asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning and/or electric shock.

• Only use outdoors or in well ventilated surroundings in a well ventilated area away from combustible materials.

• For every kW it is necessary to have a permanent ventilation of 25cm x 25cm.

• Never direct the hot air flow towards the cylinder.

• Never use the heater without its cover.

  • DO NOT exceed 100W/m³ of free room. The minimum volume of the room must be larger than 100m³.
  • DO NOT use in cellars, basements or in any room below ground level.
  • DO NOT obstruct the inlet or outlet sections of the heater.

• WARNING! DO NOT cover the heater.

• WARNING! some parts of the heater can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given to where children and venerable people are present.

• The heater must be placed where there is no risk of fire, the hot air outlet must be at least 3mtr from any flammable wall or ceiling and must never be directed towards the gas bottle.

• Turn off the gas supply at the cylinder valve after use.

• Only use the propane gas pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the heater without alteration.

• Gas cylinder must be used and kept in accordance with current regulations.

• The gas bottle must be replaced according to safety rules and away from sources of ignition.

• The gas hose must not be twisted or bent.

• If a gas leak is found or suspected, immediately turn off the gas cylinder, switch the heater off and DO NOT use again until it has been checked by a qualified service centre. If the heater is installed indoors, provide good ventilation by opening doors and windows completely. DO NOT produce sparks or open flames.

• Ensure the fan is operating correctly before lighting the burners.

• If the heater has to work for a long periods at its maximum capacity it is possible that ice will form on the cylinder. This is due to excessive vapour withdrawal. NEVER heat the cylinder for this or any other reason. To avoid this effect or at least reduce it, use a large cylinder or at least two cylinders linked together, see fig.1.

• WARNING! Disconnect heater from mains electrical supply and gas cylinder before servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
  This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.

• Cleaning and maintenance shall not be undertaken by children without supervision.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

    WARNING! If gas is smelt immediately switch off appliance at the gas bottle. Check the appliance for leaks using an approved leak detector, if the leak can not be found switch off gas supply and seek professional help. Be aware that in the event of a gas leak ensure that the area is fully ventilated and any form of ignition should be avoided.

MAINTENANCE

• Repairs and maintenance must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
• The heater must be checked by a qualified technician at least once a year.
• Regularly check the condition of the gas hose and gas regulator if it must be replaced only use original spare parts.
• Check the starting electrode position, see fig.4.
• Check the connections of the safety thermostat and of the thermocouple: they must always be clean.
• If necessary clean the fan blade and the inside of the heater using compressed air.
  WARNING: AIR CONTAMINANTS
  Air contaminants taken into the heater will damage the unit, cause health problems and safety issues. For example: Body shop filler dust and overspray dust will clog the burner diffuser, contaminate the combustion chamber and damage the internal parts of the heater. If contaminants are present the heater must be supplied with ducted clean air. Please note that any parts damaged by filler dust or overspray dust will not be covered by warranty. Additionally a cleaning charge will be made for any heaters damaged by filler dust or overspray dust.
