Concerning the MI 800, the minimum distance is 60 cm. The gas connection pipe must not be
laid on or beside the device.
•
Position the device in an area of your greenhouse with good air circulation.

•
This device is not suitable for orchid breeding, since some orchids do not tolerate CO2
accumulation. If you are unsure of whether your greenhouse plants are suitable for C02
accumulation, ask a gardener.

may not be changed. After fitting the gas pipe, please check that a distance of 15 mm exists
between the burner tip and the floor panel.
