• 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.
• If the gas tap on the gas bottle falters and the gas supply cannot be turned off
normally, first press the power regular to (O) and unplug the unit. The gas valve will
now block the gas supply and the heater will shut off. Allow the unit to cool off, but
don't disconnect the gas hose! Take the gas bottle and the connected device to your
gas supplier to have the problem solved. This defect is not in your unit.
• If you think you won't use the device for a long time, you should disconnect the gas
supply hose from the unit and place the protective cap on the opening. Put the unit in
the original packaging (or another dust-free box or bag) and keep it in a cool, dry place
outside the reach of children. Before you use the device again, you must check
whether the ventilator is working properly and no flammable materials are still next
to/in/on the heater. Also perform a gas leakage test.
• Repairs must only be performed by qualified people. Never open the heater yourself!
Make sure that only original parts are used; that definitely applies to the gas hose and
the pressure regulator!
• The heater must be inspected at least once a year by a qualified person.
