Before using the space heater, carefully read all of the instructions and follow them scrupulously. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage to persons and/or property caused by improper use of the equipment.
This instruction manual is an integral part of the equipment and must therefore be stored carefully and passed on with the unit in
the event of a change of ownership.
1. DESCRIPTION
This manual describes a radiation/convection space heater
intended for use outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.
Warning
Using this heater in closed rooms is DANGEROUS and
therefore PROHIBITED.
The simple installation and quick connection of an LPG tank
allows this heater to be used locally and temporarily in stand-alone
mode. The area to be heated receives a flow of homogeneous and
uniform heat that radiates radially.
Space heaters can be run on propane gas (G31) or on L.P.G.
(butane G30 and propane G31) according to the different gas
categories indicated on Tab. I and shown on the heater
identification plate.
All space heaters are equipped with safety devices that trip in case
of serious malfunctions and switch off the heaters.
• the thermocouple and the thermal gas valve trip to close the gas
flow if the flame is irregular or if it goes out;
• the inclination sensor trips to close the gas flow if the heater is
excessively inclined and can overturn.
Warning
You must always identify the cause of the "block" and
eliminate it before

IMPORTANT
restarting the heater (see:
EN
Warning
Do not use the heater on floors made with flammable
materials.
Warning
Use in basements or below ground level is hazardous
because of gas stagnation.
Make sure that:
• The instructions in this manual are carefully followed;
• The heater is not installed in an area where there is a high risk
of fire or explosions;
• No flammable materials are stored in the vicinity of the heater
(minimum distance: 3 m);
• There is no overheating of walls, or ceilings made of flammable
materials,
• All precautions have been taken to prevent fires;
• Ventilation in the area where the heater is located is
guaranteed and sufficient for use of the burner. Air quality
limits in well-ventilated areas must be complied with. These
areas must have an open surface area equal to at least 25% of
the total surface area. The total surface area is calculated as
the sum of all surrounding walled surfaces;
• There are no obstacles or obstructions to normal air intake for
combustion and to radiated heat (sheets or covers on the
heater, or walls or bulky objects near the heater);
• The heater is placed on a flat and stable surface;
Warning
If the heater is placed on an inclined surface with angle to
horizontal greater than 35°, the inclination sensor will
prevent its operation.
• The heat flow is not directed toward the gas tank or drum;
• The heater is regularly monitored during operation and checked
before being started;
• The heater is away from walkways and is surrounded by
barriers to prevent people from accidentally touching its hot
surfaces.
• At the end of each work period, main gas stopcock is closed
and gas hose disengaged and sealed.
Warning
This unit may not be used by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacities or
