•
Improper assembly, settings, or structural changes can result in property damage or injuries.
•
Adults and children must not come too close to the very hot surfaces of the radiant heater so
that they do not get burned and so that their clothing does not catch fire.
•
Children near the radiant heater must be carefully supervised.
•
Clothing or other flammable materials must not be hung on or near the heater.
Safety during repair and maintenance
•
The heater should only be repaired by a specialist.
•
Put a protective device that has been removed for mainte-
nance purposes back on before restarting the heater.
Assembling and locating the heater
•
The heater may only be used in outdoor areas and only in
places where a sufficient supply of fresh air can be ensured.
•
Make sure that there is sufficient space around the heater, i.e.,
100
cm upwards and on all sides.
•
The heater must be set up on a level and firm surface.
•
Never operate the heater in potentially explosive environ-
ments, e.g., where petrol or other highly flammable liquids or
vapours are stored.
•
To prevent the heater from falling over in strong winds, its base
must be screwed to the ground.
Gas requirements
•
Only use propane or butane gas.
•
The assembly of pressure reducing valve and hose must correspond to the local regulations.
•
The installation must also comply with local requirements; if there are none, it must meet the
standard requirements for the storage and treatment of liquefied gases.
•
If the gas container is dented, rusted, or damaged, it should be checked by the seller of the gas
cylinder. It can be very dangerous in this condition. Never use a gas container with a damaged
valve connection.
•
The propane gas tank must be set up in such a way that the vapours generated by the gas
bottle can escape.
•
Never connect a propane gas tank to the heater without also using a pressure reducing valve.
Leakage test
The gas connections attached to the heater are checked for leaks before shipping. However, a full leak
test must also be carried out at the installation site, as damage may have occurred during transport due
to improper handling or excessive pressure.
•
Make a soap solution from one part liquid soap and one part water. This soap solution can be
applied with a spray bottle, a brush, or a scrap of cloth. If there is a leak, bubbles will appear.
•
The heater must be checked for leaks when the gas bottle is full.
•
Make sure that the safety valve is in the OFF position.
•
Turn on the gas supply.
•
If a leak is found, the gas supply must be switched off again. Tighten any leaky connections,
turn on the gas supply and check the tightness again.
•
Never smoke during a leak test.
