the gas hose is not bent or kinked. Avoid twisted and tensile stress. This can damage it
and gas leakage can occur! Always use the correct, supplier-provided pressure
regulator and gas hose. If you have questions about the gas hose, contact your supplier.
A length of 1.5 metres is advised.
Gas leakage test
To rule out the possibility of damage during transport or due to high pressure, wear and
tear, etc., a complete gas leakage test must be performed during installation, after
changing a gas bottle and after a period of storage. All leakage inspection must be
performed with a soap solution, never with fire! Do not smoke during the inspections.
When there is gas leakage, immediately close the gas tap on the gas bottle (be alert for
the odour!) and remove the equipment far from other sources of heat, fire and sparks.
 Perform the inspection with a full gas bottle.
 Unplug it, switch the power switch to O (off), close the gas supply.
 Make a soap solution with one part liquid soap and one part water.
 Apply the soap solution to the entire gas transport system, especially on the
connections, with a spray bottle, brush or cloth.
 Open the gas supply. If there is a leak, you will see soap bubbles.
 If there is a leak, switch off the gas supply. Tighten the leaking part, turn on the gas
supply again and check again. If there are still bubbles, contact your supplier.
 Make sure there is no fire or sparks in the vicinity when you are performing the leakage
test and do not smoke!
 If the gas hose shows signs of bursting, cracks or other damage, it must be replaced by a
new hose of the same length and equivalent quality. Replace it at least every 3 or 4
years; see the writing on the hose.
Cleaning and maintenance
 Switch the unit off, unplug it and give the heater time to cool off before you clean it or
perform maintenance.
 Keep the unit clean (particularly the grills and the ventilator blades) and remove dust
regularly. You can clean the housing with a damp cloth. Never use aggressive, corrosive
or abrasive cleaning agents.
 You can carefully try to remove dust and other dirt in the unit with a brush, vacuum it
out or blow it off (carefully) with a compressor.
 Check the incineration after the heater is ignited. The normal flame is blue and not
outside of the unit. The flame must be stable and the entire flame circle must be
uniform in shape. If that is not the case, there is something wrong with the
incineration. Contact your service department.
 Regularly check the gas hose and its screw connections. If the hose is damaged
(kinked, burst or worn out, shows signs of burns or anything), this must be replaced
immediately. Even without visible damage, the hose must be replaced at least every 3
or 4 years (see the printing on the hose). Only use an approved gas hose.
