WARNING! Before connecting the heater to the gas supply, ensure that there are no sources of open fl ame nearby. The
presence of an open fl ame poses a risk of explosion or fi re.
A gas cylinder with a gas weight of at least 11 kg but no more than 50 kg can be used for power supply. The gas supply source
must provide an output at least equal to the fuel consumption specifi ed in the technical data table. In a source with a too low
capacity, condensation can occur and water can freeze on the walls of the tank when the gas expands too quickly.
The hose used for the gas supply must be fl exible and made of rubber or plastic. The length of the hose must not be less than 1 m.
The gas cylinder valve must be closed when connecting the heater to the gas supply.
The nuts are marked with a notch, this means that they have been fi tted with a left-hand thread. Tightening of such nuts is done in
a counterclockwise direction. The nut must be tightened with enough force to ensure a leak-proof connection. The use of exces-
sive force when tightening can damage the gasket.
As a fi rst step, use a spanner to secure the gas line to the line fi xing at the rear of the heater (III).
In a second step, use a spanner to attach the regulator to the outlet connection of the gas cylinder (IV).
When connecting the regulator, observe the direction of gas fl ow indicated by the arrows on the regulator housing.
In the third step, use a spanner to fi x the gas line to the regulator (IV).
WARNING! Torsional stress on the hose must be avoided when fi xing the hose.
Under normal conditions of use, it is recommended to replace a correctly installed regulator and gas hose every 10 years from the
year of manufacture shown on the regulator and gas hose. Local regulations may require diff erent replacement intervals for the
regulator and gas hose. To do this, contact an authorised workshop of the manufacturer. If the reducer is used outdoors, it shall
be installed or protected against the ingress of any water. When using the reducer, ensure that there is good ventilation to prevent
condensation of water vapour inside the unit. The reducer is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -20 to +50 degrees
Celsius. If the reducer is installed after another reducer then the pressure in the system should be adjusted so that it is within the
range of inlet pressure served by the reducer attached to the heater. The regulator should not be placed below the outlet valve of
the gas cylinder or tank. This will avoid evaporation of the gas, which can liquefy again after fl owing into the regulator. The pipes
and hoses used to connect to the regulator inlet should form a slope towards the gas cylinder or tank.
The gas hose should be laid evenly without excessive bends. It must not be twisted or kinked. All connections of the gas circuit
between the cylinder and the heater must be gas-tight.
Checking for gas leaks
Slowly unscrew the cylinder valve until it is fully open and check the connections for leaks.
WARNING! If leaking gas can already be heard and smell of gas can be clearly detected while the cylinder valve is being opened,
close the cylinder valve immediately. It is forbidden to check the tightness of the connection by means of fi re. This can result in
burns, fi re and explosion. Use commercially available electronic or chemical testers. Before using them, please read the instruc-
tions supplied with them. Alternatively, you can prepare a mixture of water and soap at a ratio of about 1/4 soap to 3/4 water and
coat the gas installation with it. If gas bubbles are noticed, this means that the system is leaking. If leaks are observed, close
the cylinder valve and remove the leaks, e.g. by tightening the connections. Repeat the installation leak test. If leaks cannot be
remedied, close the cylinder valve, disconnect the bottle from the heater and return it to an authorised repair shop. If the gas
tightness check has not detected any leaks, the heater may be put into operation. When the gas leak check is complete, close
the gas cylinder valve.
Connection of the heater to the electrical supply
Ensure that the gas cylinder valve is closed and the heater switch is in the off – in O position. Plug the heater into a mains socket.
Handling gas leaks
In the event of a gas leak or even a suspected gas leak, for example if you smell a distinct odour of gas, close the gas cylinder
valve completely immediately. Then disconnect the gas cylinder from the regulator. If the heater is hot, wait until it has cooled
down. Wait until the gas is aired, check the gas system for damage. If this is not the case, prepare a gas detector, connect the gas
cylinder to the heater and open the cylinder valve to start detecting where the gas is leaking. If no leakage site is found and the
eff ects of the gas leakage can still be observed. Take the heater to an authorised service centre for repair.
Burn protection
The heater heats up to high temperatures during use. Do not touch the casing and hot air outlet components while the appliance is
running and immediately after operation, this can cause severe burns. When the heater is in operation, do not stand within range
of the hot air outlet, this can cause severe burns. Children and pets must not be near the appliance when in use.
