8. Checking a Switched-On Heater
Check a switched-on heater by observing the pilot flame at the air exit of the heater. Make sure that the pilot
light burns steadily inside the burner.
Be careful when checking the pilot light as the air exiting the heater can be extremely hot. Maintain
yourself at a safe distance.
9. Switching Off the Heater
1. Close the gas cylinder.
2. Close the pressure regulator or disconnect it from the gas cylinder.
3. Leave the heater to cool down for at least 60 seconds after the pilot light has died out.
4. Switch off the heater by flicking the switch to the O position.
5. Disconnect from the mains by pulling the plug.
6. Disconnect the flexible hose from the heater.
10. Using the Heater Near Persons or Animals
The heater can be used in a well-ventilated room where the pollutant percentage does not exceed the allowed
levels.
Sufficient ventilation is guaranteed only when the minimum room volume, in m³, is 30 times the nominal
thermal power (in kW) of all the switched-on devices used in that room, and when the ventilation happens
through doors, windows or other openings which have a minimum total volume, in m³, of 0.003 times the
nominal thermal power (in kW) of all the switched-on devices used in that room.
Do not use the heater to permanently heat stables or other animal housings.
11. Using the Heater Far from Persons and Animals
This heater may only be used for heating rooms if the necessary airflow needed for the burning of the fuel can
be guaranteed.
The necessary air volume is guaranteed when the minimum room volume, in m³, is 10 times the nominal
thermal power (in kW) of all the switched-on devices used in that room.
A normal airflow through doors and windows must be guaranteed.
12. Ventilation During the Summer
This heater can also be used as a fan. To do so, disconnect the heater from the gas source, connect to the
mains and flick the switch on the I position.
Follow the correct procedure and disconnect the heater from the mains if it has previously been used
in heating mode. See chapter Switching Off the Heater.
13. Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions Intended for the User
Any cleaning activity involving a dangerous component (e.g. replacement of a damaged power cable, repair of
the burner) must be done by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a qualified technician in order to avoid
risks, even if the device has been disconnected from the mains.
Clean the heater after each use and prior to storing the device.
Regularly clean the burner when using the heater in dusty environments.
Check the flexible gas hose and the mains connection prior to using the heater. Contact a specialised technician
if in doubt about the quality of the gas hose.
Never clean a switched-on heater.
Completely disconnect the heater from the mains before any cleaning activity. See chapter Switching Off the
Heater.
Cleaning the heater does not require special tools. Always check for gas leaks in the circuit or at the
connections, and make sure the pressure is correct after and before each cleaning activity.
Maintenance should be performed at least once a year.
Any repair activity must be performed by qualified personnel only. Never open the appliance yourself!
Disconnect the gas hose and store the appliance in a dry, clean, dust-free and safe place outside the reach of
children.
Always close the stop valve of the gas cylinder first when the appliance is not in use.
