ASSEMBLING
Once the heater has been taken out of its packaging:
• Remove the back panel from inside the apparatus.
• Connect the flexible tube to the gas inlet coupling of the heater and to the regulator, ensuring a
gastight fit with the collar clips well screwed down. Avoid twisting the hose.
• Place the gas bottle on the base and fit the regulator to the bottle. On opening the regulator,
check that there are no gas leaks by applying soapy water with a paintbrush at the union of the
flexible tube with the heater and with the regulator.
• Fit the back panel using the attached fixing lugs.
Note: Changing of the bottle should be carried out in a non-flammable environment.
The heater incorporates a safety device which extinguishes the pilot flame if the ventilation in the
premises is insufficient. It is usual for this device to operate in very small premises and if the heater
does go out, ventilate the room well and wait a few minutes before reigniting the heater.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
Before performing the test, extinguish all the flames and turn off all the electrical appliances. Do not
smoke while checking for gas leaks.
− The test must be performed outdoors or in well ventilated rooms.
− Check that the gas valve is closed.
− Prepare a solution of water and soap using equal amounts of each one.
− Using a brush, apply the solution on the joints between the cylinder, the regulator and the
heater.
− Open carefully the valve.
