Make sure when you install the gas bottle that 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
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.
