OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 DIAL ANTI- CLOCKWISE TO THE PILOT SETTING. PRESS THE DIAL IN AND HOLD FOR 1 MINUTE BEFORE ATTEMPTING IGNITION.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Remove the ignition cap from the BURNER ASSEMBLY (J) by turning cap counterclockwise. Install 1 AAA battery. The negative end of battery goes in first, then replace the ignition cap by turning the cap clockwise.

TO LIGHT THE PILOT

• Check all connections prior to each use.
• Turn on the gas supply at source.
• Press and turn the control dial anti-clockwise to the PILOT marking.
• Hold the dial down and press the IGNITION button repeatedly until the pilot flame is lit, then continue to hold the dial down for 10 seconds until the pilot remains lit after releasing the dial.
• If the pilot fails to ignite, press and turn the dial clockwise to OFF before repeating the lighting steps.

1. OFF
2. PILOT
3. HIGH
4. IGNITION
5. LOW

TO LIGHT THE PATIO HEATER

• The pilot should be lit and the dial set to PILOT.
• Hold the dial down and turn anti-clockwise to the LOW position.
• When the mesh glows, turn dial clockwise to select the desired heat output.

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

RE-LIGHTING

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

TO EXTINGUISH

• Hold the dial down and turn clockwise to the OFF position
• Turn off the valve on the gas cylinder or the regulator after use.
• Disconnect the gas bottle and allow this appliance to cool before moving the appliance.

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

LEAK TESTING

NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
NEVER LEAK TEST WHILE SMOKING.

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 above.
• The valve of the gas cylinder should be in the OFF position. 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.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

• The regulator and hose assembly used must conform to local safety requirements.
• 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 by a gas supplier.
• Never connect this appliance to an unregulated gas source.
• When the appliance is not in use, turn the gas cylinder OFF, before disconnecting it.
• Always perform a leak test on gas connections whenever a cylinder is connected. If bubbles form in the leak test solution, do not use. Never use a flame to test for leaks.

CONNECTING TO A GAS CYLINDER

• Use a 9 kg gas cylinder. Please refer to your gas supplier for suitable gas cylinder.
• Refer to your gas supplier for instructions on the use of your gas cylinder.
• Only change gas cylinders outdoors or in a well-ventilated area away from naked flames and any other source of ignition.
• The gas cylinder must always be used in an upright position.
• Close the heater control dial by turning fully clockwise.
• Close the gas cylinder tap and then attach the regulator onto the gas cylinder.
• Tighten all connections firmly and with a spanner where appropriate. The cylinder should be located on the cylinder base.
• Check for leaks at all joints using soapy water. If a leak is found, tighten the joint and then re-test.

MAINTENANCE

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:

• 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 odour 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 the dome and burner with warm soapy water.

Note: In environments with a high salt content (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them.

SERVICING

• Please consult your supplier for servicing this appliance and replacement of its parts. The servicing of the appliance shall be carried out only by authorised personnel.
• Do not use unauthorised parts or components for this appliance, only use original equipment replacement parts and components. The use of unauthorised parts or components will void the warranty and can create unsafe condition.

STORAGE

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

Between uses or before storage:

• Turn the control dial OFF
• Turn the gas cylinder OFF
• Disconnect the gas bottle.

Store the 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.
