Make sure all components are standing safely.

Screw the pressure controller and the gas hose on the valve of the gas cylinder.
Use the butterfly nut and the chrysanthemum gasket to put the heater in the required position. Fix it on the stand.

4.2 Connection to the Gas Cylinder

Keep the gas cylinder and heater away from any open flames.
Before connecting the appliance, check the installation regulations in force in the country where the appliance is to be used.

Use an approved regulator and a gas hose with a length between 40 cm and 50 cm. Avoid twisting the hose.
Slowly turn on the regulator and check if there are no gas leaks. To do so, brush some soapy water on all connections.
