Use; Gas Leaks - Qlima GH 959 RF Manuel D'utilisation

Problem:
No flame/no ignition in winter (temp. <7 °C)
Solution:
Check whether butane or propane is being used: butane will burn ever more
poorly as the temperature drops below 7 °C because it then turns into liquid.
With LPG (= propane/butane mixture), it will often help to give the gas cylinder a
shake.
Use only a correct low pressure regulator. Outlet pressure details: see rating label.
Do not move the appliance when operating, shocks and bumps may activate the
safety device. Do not twist the flexible tubing or hose.

o Check and clean the filter of the regulator
o Release a little bit of gas (outdoors) from the gascontainer. This will clear
present dirt particles to prevent them from entering the pressure regulator or
device.
Open the gas container (follow the user instructions provided with the low-pressure
regulator).
Turn the regulation knob into position 1 as indicated in fig. Press it all the way down
and, at the same time, press the piezoelectric button; this turns the atmosphere
analyzer on. To keep the flame lit, the knob must be held pressed down for 20 seconds
after ignition.
To turn OFF the device, close the gas container valve.(follow the instructions
provided with the low-pressure regulator).
Do not hold the regulation knob pressed down for longer than 40 seconds.
Never move the heater when it is hot and/or in operation.
Close the gas container valve. (follow the user instructions for the regulator);
Extinguish all open flames, for instance stoves;
Open windows in order to increase airflow circulation;
Turn off electrical devices, for instance lamps;
Prepare a bucket of soapy water;
Open the gas container (follow the user instructions for the regulator);
Brush the soapy water on all fittings and connections of the gas circuit;
If there is a gas leak, bubbles will rise up from the location of the leak;
