Note:
If a new tank has just been connected, please allow at least one minute or more
for the air in the gas pipeline to purge out through the pilot hole.
If the burner flame goes out accidentally or it is blown out by wind, turn off the
heater and wait at Ieast 5 minutes or more to let the gas dissipate before re-ligh-
ting to avoid possible gas explosion.

The whole gas system. hose, regulator, pilot and burner should be inspected
for Ieak before use. But at least once a month and each time the gas cylinder
is changed. Check the hose assembly for sign of extreme abrasion, cuts or
wears. Suspected areas should be Ieak tested. If the hose Ieaks, it must be
replaced with a new one that conforms to IocaI standard codes. ). If it shows
signs of cracking, splitting or other deterioration it shall be exchanged for
new hose of the same length and of the equivalent quality.
Always keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher readily available.
For safety, always allow a 5-minute complete shut off period before re-ligh-
ting a hot heater.
Replace the gas tube/hose within the interval described with the hose.
Shut off heater.
Close the valve of the gas cylinder.
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder following the instructions that
came with your regulator.
Replace the cylinder.
Make sure there is no flame. Only when no flame: remove the plug or seal
cap from the cylinder valve.
Check for the presence and good state of the gasket before connecting the
regulator to the new cylinder
Check that the regulator seal is correctly fitted and able to fulfil its function.
Perform leak test using soapy water solution.
WARNING: only change the gas cylinder in a amply ventilated area, away
from any ignition source (candle, cigarettes, other flame producing applian-
ces, ...).
For every kW it is necessary to have permanent ventilation of 25 cm², equally
distributed between the floor and high level, with a minimum outlet of 250
cm².
Never direct the hot air flow towards the cylinder.
Never use the heater without its cover.
Do not exceed 100 W/m³ of free room. The minimum volume of the room
must be larger than 100 m³.
Do not obstruct the inlet or outlet sections of the heater.
If the heater has to work for a long period at its maximum capacity, it's possi-
ble that ice will form on the cylinder. This is due to excessive vapour withdra-
wal. Not for this reason, or for any other, should the cylinder be heated. To
avoid this effect, or at least to reduce it, use a large cylinder or two cylinders
linked together (Fig 1).
Do not use the heater in cellars, basements or in any room below the ground
level.
