GENERAL SAFETY

• Equip your home with a least one smoke detector on each floor.
• Keep at least one dry-powder operative ABC-type fire extinguisher in the home at all times.
• Keep areas around heat sources free of papers and trash.
• Store paints, solvents, and flammable liquids away from all heat and ignition sources.
• Develop a fire-escape plan before a fire occurs. Be certain every person understands the plan and is able to carry out the plan in case of an emergency.
• If your clothing does catch fire don’t run. Dropdown immediately and roll to smother the flames.

FIRST AID FOR A BURN

EYES Seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Do not put ointments or liquids in eye.
ELSEWHERE

• Consult a doctor if the burn is not healed in 24 hours, or the burn is larger than the size of a palm.

• If serious, send promptly for an ambulance or a doctor.

• If possible, run the affected area under cold water, not ice or ice water, for 10-15 minutes if the skin is intact.
  Cut and gently lift away any clothing covering the burned area, without pulling clothing over the burns. Leave in place any clothing that is stuck to the burns. Do not put any creams or greases on the burned area.

• If the casualty’s hands or wrists have been burned remove jewelry if possible without causing further injury (rings, watches, and so forth) and place in his pockets. This prevents the necessity to cut off jewelry since swelling usually occurs as a result of a burn.

• Do not pop any blisters. Cover the burn with a light gauze dressing.

• If blisters pop, apply a light antibiotic ointment and dress as above.

ABNORMAL OPERATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING

For abnormal operations see the problems checklist for problem and solution.
If service is required, contact an authorized or qualified service person to service the appliance.
SERVICING
It is recommended that before using the heater after a period of 3 months or before the start of the heating season the owner should:

• Check the condition of the gas cylinder.
• Check the hose assembly for any wear or damage. If the hose and regulator assembly is damaged or more than 5 years old replace it with an approved hose and regulator assembly.
• The recommended frequency of checking the tubing or the flexible hose is at least once per month and each time the cylinder is changed. If it shows signs of cracking, splitting, or other deterioration it shall be exchanged for a new hose of the same length and off the equivalent quality.
• The tubing or the flexible hose must be changed within the prescribed intervals. · Check for leaks.

WARNING
Servicing shall be carried out by an authorized or qualified service person only.
If service is required, remove the reflector hood and burner mesh assembly to access the ignition system and gas valve.
Replace the faulty item with the correct approved component. Any replacement or accessories are available from your local distributors/dealer.

SOLVING COMMON PROBLEMS
The 3 most common problems associated with any gas heater are gas leaks, wrong gas pressure and dirt.

• DO NOT USE YOUR HEATER WITHOUT CHECKING FOR LEAKS. Leaks can occur during shipment and installation. A simple solution of soap and water dabbed on the fittings will bubble if a gas leak is present.
• WRONG GAS PRESSURE. Too much gas pressure may severely damage your heater. Too little gas pressure and your heater will not burn correctly. If your installer cannot check gas pressure, call your gas supplier.
• DUST AND DIRT. This heater requires some cleaning. If the pilot light will not stay, your heater is probably due for a good cleaning. Replacement of thermocouple or pilot assembly is generally not needed. Review CLEANING AND CARE in this manual.
