Q: Whymusttherebeventilationwhenusingagas
 heater?
A: Whenever fuel (LP Gas in this case) is burned,
ventilation is needed. Any re needs oxygen to burn.
Think of a replace, you require a chimney or ue for
the smoke to exit the house. Even though a gas heater
does not generate smoke, it still generates carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide, which can be dangerous
if not diluted by fresh air. Always ensure adequate
ventilation by leaving a door or window open in the
same room.
Q: Howlongwillthegasinmycylinderlast?
A: This depends on how you use your heater. It is easy to
calculate your gas consumption. Take the capacity of
the gas cylinder in grams (i.e. 9000g for a 9kg
cylinder) and divide it by the gas consumption of the
heater, on your desired setting (refer to the Technical
Data section in this manual (page 13). The answer to
the calculation is the approximate number of hours that
your heater will burn for.
Q: WhatdoIdoifIhaveanover-lledcylinder?
A: The best method to determine if your cylinder is over-
lled is to weigh it. Subtract the ‘tare’ mass from the
cylinder weight – this gives you the weight of your gas.
If this gas weight exceeds your cylinder design weight
(9kg) then return the cylinder to your gas
supplier.
