Check the heater thoroughly for damage. Do not use a
damaged heater. Be sure the heating area is adequately
ventilated, free of moisture and dust, far away from any
combustible material. Always put the gas cylinder
behind the heater in a stable position. Never put the gas
cylinder in front of the heater (Fig.3.).

combustible materials. (Fig.4.)
Check the outlet pressure of the gas regulator and gas
hose according to the specification on the rating plate.

approved gas hose. Gas hose should be in its natural
form without excessive bending and not twisted or
kinked, ensure all connections are gas tight.
WARNING: When connecting to the gas cylinder, ensure
the area is flame free to prevent risk of explosion.
Screw fasten the gas hose with regulator to the cylinder
valve. Ensure the connection is tight.
NOTE:
The gas connection to the heater has a left hand
thread.
