HEATER SET UP
1. Before removing this heater from the packaging, read this manual in full and make sure that it
is what you want /need.
2. Remove the heater from the packaging.
3. After the heater has been removed from its packaging, remove the back panel from inside the
back cavity.
4. Check if the nose cone is present, secure and in good condition. (Figure H)
5. The regulator goes directly into the cylinder valve. Always make sure the regulator is pushed
fully to the bottom of the cylinder valve before tightening. The use of any adaptors is illegal.
6. Screw the regulator into the cylinder valve. DO NOT use a tool to tighten the regulator; it is to
be hand-tightened only.
7. Open the control valve 1½ turns to the left (anti-clockwise). (Figure H)
8. Push the control knob down for at least 10 seconds, but DO NOT try to ignite the heater. This
will allow gas to ow through the heater,making the leak test possible.
9. DO THE LEAK TEST (page 7). Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with any electrical
components of the heater.
10. After leak testing is satisfactorily carried out, t the rear panel onto the heater. It may be
necessary to twist the cylinder slightly to allow the regulator and hose to t inside the back
panel without kinking the hose. Ensure that the hose is positioned away from the heat zone
at the back of the cabinet. (Figure J)
NOTE: This heater incorporates a safety device that will shut the heater down in unsafe
conditions. In the case of accidental ame failure the gas heater will automatically shut down.
