HEATER SET-UP
After the heater has been removed from its packaging and properly assembled:
1. Place the filled butane gas cylinder on the back of the heater with the valve outlet facing
out.
2. Connect the supplied "push-in" regulator to the gas cylinder valve outlet. (Follow instruction
sheet provided for SNAP ON COMPACT LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR).
3. Important Leak Test:
This must be done in a well-ventilated area, free from open flames or other sources of
ignition.
- With the regulator connected to the cylinder, open the regulator valve of the
gas by turning it fully anti-clockwise.
- Smear or lightly wet all hose connections, hose connections,
pipe connections to the gas valve, the regulator connection to the cylinder, and the
gas cylinder valve with a 50:50 solution of detergent and water.
- A stream of bubbles forming is an indication of a leak.
- If you find a leak, close the cylinder valve (turn the regulator lever in the
clockwise), disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder and bring it to
a cool, open-air, well-ventilated area.
- Contact your dealer or gas supplier for help.
- DO NOT USE THE HEATER IF YOU FIND A LEAK.
- NEVER USE A FLAME TO LEAK TEST.
- DO NOT OPERATE ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE PRESENCE OF A GAS
LEAK.

necessary to rotate the cylinder slightly to allow the regulator and hose to fit inside the back
panel without kinking the hose.
