8.  DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF  
 

THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.

9.  Certain materials or items, when stored under or near  
 

the appliance will be subjected to radiant heat and   

 

could be seriously damaged.

10. Any guard or other protective device removed for    
 

servicing must be replaced prior to operating the    

 appliance.
11. The guard is fitted to this appliance to reduce the risk  
 

of fire or injury from burns and no part of it should be  

 

removed.

12. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified  
 

service person. The appliance must be inspected    

 

before use and at least annually by a qualified service  

 

person. More frequent cleaning may be required as   

 

necessary. It is imperative that control compartment,  

 

burners and circulating air passages of the appliance  

 

and light be kept clean.

Prior to assembling your appliance, the following must be
reviewed. Compliance with the following should result in
satisfactory appliance operation. This instruction manual
should be retained for future reference. The installation 
must conform with local codes or authority having 
jurisdiction.
1.  The appliance is intended for residential and  

 

 

nonresidential outdoor spaces. The installation must   

 

conform with New Zealand Standard 5601 “Gas  

 

 Installations”.
2.   Adequate clearance around air openings into the  

 

 

combustion chamber, clearances from combustible     

 

materials, provisions for accessibility and for  

 

 

combustion and ventilating air supply must be  

 

 

maintained at all times when the appliance is operating. 

3.   Proper clearance from combustible materials must be
 

maintained at all times. The minimum clearances are  

 

found on page 3.

Combustible materials are considered to be wood, 
compressed paper, plant fibres, plastic, plexiglas or other 
materials capable of being ignited and burned. 
Such materials shall be considered combustible even 
though flame proofed, fire-retardant treated or plastered. 
Additional clearance may be required for glass, painted 
surfaces and other materials which may be damaged by 
radiant or convection heat.
4.  The appliance must be located on a solid table which  
 

should be situated on a level and adequate footing.   

 

Timber tables are recommended.

5.  The gas manifold supply pressure must be regulated
 

at 2.75 kPa utilising an approved regulator (supplied  

 

with appliance).

6.   The appliance must be inspected before each use, and
 

at least annually by a qualified service person.

 

a.  The appliance area must be kept clear and free of

 

  combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

 

  vapours and liquids.

 

b.  Gas orifices and burner must be kept clear of dirt   

 

  and cobwebs. Flow of combustion and ventilation air  

 

  through the perforated portions of the appliance    

 

  must not be obstructed. Cleaning with a soft brush  

 

  before use and at least every six months is  

 

   recommended.
 

c.  All gas connections should be checked for leaks

 

  utilising a soap solution. NEVER use a flame for this

   purpose.
 

d.  The flame pattern at the emitter grid should be    

 

  visually checked whenever the appliance is operated.

 

  If flames extend beyond surface of the emitter grid  

 

  or black soot is accumulating on the emitter grid or  

 

  reflector, the appliance should be turned off  

 

 

  immediately. The appliance should not be operated  

 

  again until the unit is serviced and or repaired. 

 

e.  Any cleaning agent used on the appliance should be

 

  of a non-combustible and non-corrosive nature.

 

  Warm soapy water is ideal. While washing the

 

  appliance, be sure to keep the area around the    

 

  emitter grid and ignition assembly dry at all times. If  

 

  the gas control is exposed to water in any way, do  

 

  NOT try to use it. The appliance should be regularly  

 

  cleaned and protected to reduce oxidation, ideally a  

 

  cover should be used when not in use.

 

g.  The emitter grid normally does not require cleaning  

 

  and should NEVER be painted. The reflector may be  

 

  cleaned, but never painted. 

7.  The hose assembly should be properly located out of
 

pathways where people may trip over it. The hose must  

 

be protected from contact with hot or sharp surfaces  

 

both during use and while in storage. The hose  

 

 

assembly should be visually inspected prior to each use  

 

of the appliance. If excessive abrasion or wear is  

 

 

evident, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to

 

operating the appliance. The replacement hose  

 

 

assembly may be obtained from the distributor.
