General Guidelines

®
Refer to the Velleman
5. Connecting and Replacing the Gas Cylinder
Only replace the gas cylinder in the open air, far from any open flame or heat source.
Connect the gas cylinder using following accessories:

1 flexible hose for liquid gas (incl.)

1 pressure regulator for liquid gas (incl.)
Connection
1. Connect the gas hose to the heater without forcing.
2. Install the pressure regulator on the gas cylinder.
3. Check if the connection of the pressure regulator is correctly sealed according to the used gas cylinder.
4. Open the valve of the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator if the gas cylinder does not feature a valve.
5. Check if the connection are correctly sealed using soapy water: soap bubbles may point to a gas leak.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
The connections may have a left-handed screw thread. Consequently, they are threaded in a anticlockwise
direction.
Check if there is a clamp between the pressure regulator and the gas cylinder.
It is allowed to interconnect multiple gas cylinders to increase the fuel autonomy.
The feeding pressure is obtained through the pressure regulator and corresponds to the data on the
specifications table.
Only use certified replacement gas hoses.
It is recommended to use gas cylinders of 30 kg providing a thermal power of 30 kW. You are allowed
to use larger gas cylinders if more thermal power is needed.
It is recommended to use gas cylinders with an appropriate capacity to avoid problems due to partial
fuel gasification. The correct pressure (refer to the specification tag on the heater) is indicated by the
included pressure regulator or a similar model.
Make sure the feeding gas hose is in perfect condition. Only use flexible and appropriate models when
replacing the gas hose. Always respect the local regulations. Do not crimp the flexible hose.

Connection to the Mains

Before connecting the heater to the mains, check if the used power supply and frequency match the
specifications on the specification tag. Always respect the local regulations when connecting the heater to the
mains.
Only connect the device to an earthed mains.
Disconnect the device from the mains prior to any maintenance or cleaning activity.
Always make sure that the mains is earthed.
7. Switching On the Heater
1. Open the gas valve.
2. Flick the switch to position I.
3. Fully press and hold the gas valve. Operate the ignition several times.
4. The flame burns. Hold the gas valve pressed for 15 seconds to activate the safety mechanism.
5. Release the gas valve. The flame will keep burning.
The safety mechanism will automatically switch off the heater in a few seconds in case of an electric power
failure. This mechanism will also switch off the heater in case of a gas shortage. In both cases, follow the
explanation above to switch on the heater again.
6. Regulate the gas flow.
7. Avoid operating the ignition for a prolonged period. Check for problems if the heater does not switch on.
