Installation Requirements

The appliance must be installed in accordance with the applicable rules and must only be used in sufficiently ventilated spaces. Minimum required ventilation rate stipulated in the Dutch “Bouwbesluit” based on NEN1087: > 0.7 dm3/s per m2 , with a minimum of 7 dm3/s. This ventilation rate in the Dutch “Bouwbesluit” is accepted as the minimum required ventilation rate, also in countries other than the Netherlands. An openable window or louvre is also required. The requirements for other flued appliances or additional Cosiscoop lanterns in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing the required ventilation.
WARNING: Ventilation openings must never be blocked or restricted in any way.
The appliance is only suitable for indoor and outdoor use in well-ventilated areas. When used indoors, the room must measure at least 30 m3 (e.g. 4mx3mx2.5m) to allow sufficient air circulation and correct operation of the appliance. To convert from cubic feet (ft3 ) to cubic metres (m3 ), divide the room volume in ft3 by 35.3. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not be separated by a door. The provided figures apply when using one Cosiscoop lantern in an indoor space. When using multiple appliances in one room, we recommend using these figures for room space and ventilation, and multiplying them by the number of appliances.
This appliance must not be placed in bedrooms, other sleeping areas, in close proximity to kitchens or in bathrooms.
Under no circumstances should the appliance inlet or outlet opening be blocked in any way.
DO NOT place objects on top of the appliance.
DO NOT place objects or fuels in the fire.
Make sure the appliance is placed on a flat, stable and non-combustible surface.
The appliance creates warm air currents, and these currents could heat wall surfaces and other objects.
Always place this appliance at least one metre (1000 mm) from non-combustible objects. Nothing can be positioned less than 1000 mm above the appliance. Combustible materials should not be placed near the appliance; the minimum distance is 1500 mm.
DO NOT burn any foreign materials on this fire.
Due to the nature of this product, the surface could be very hot. Care should be taken when operating the appliance.
Never leave children and pets unattended with this appliance.
Make sure you have a fire blanket and powder extinguisher in your home before you use the appliance. In case of fire, immediately place the fire blanket around the appliance and make sure the flames are not exposed to oxygen. If necessary, extinguish the fire using the powder extinguisher. Never use water or foam extinguishers for fuel fires.

If you smell gas or suspect a leak on your appliance once the gas cartridge has been fitted, take the appliance immediately to a well-ventilated outdoor location, away from any ignition sources, where the leak may be detected and stopped. First check your gas cartridge. It could be that the gas cartridge is not connected properly with the sealing washer. If you have a gas cartridge with safety valve, you can unscrew the cartridge cover and reinsert the cartridge cover into the appliance. If you still smell gas and you want to check for leaks on your appliance, do so outside. DO NOT try to detect leaks using a flame; use soapy water or leak detector spray.

What to do if something goes wrong?

Of course, we do everything we can to manufacture safe products. Therefore, always follow all instructions and requirements in this user manual.

Extinguishing instructions for Cosiscoop gas lanterns.

If something goes wrong, it is important to stop the gas supply as soon as possible. Immediately turn the control button ‘OFF’ to stop the gas supply. In most cases, the flame will extinguish immediately. If there is a leak in the gas cartridge that prevents the flame from extinguishing, the flame can be extinguished with a fire blanket or a powder extinguisher. The fire blanket will allow you to extinguish the fire at an early stage. In addition, a powder extinguisher is suitable for extinguishing fires caused by propane/butane gas. Never extinguish with another type of fire extinguisher.

Storage

Once fully cooled, and if the gas cartridge is completely empty, disconnect the appliance from the gas cartridge and store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. CAUTION: If the gas cartridge still contains gas, DO NOT disconnect from the appliance.
Make sure you store your full gas cartridges in a safe, ventilated area away from ignition sources.

Maintenance

DO NOT modify the appliance.
If you suspect a gas leak or malfunction, stop using immediately and turn off the control valve. Have the appliance tested by a qualified person; please contact your supplying retailer for assistance.
If the appliance fails to ignite or its performance decreases, return it to your supplying retailer for service.
