ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incor-

porate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the
plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an app­ropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug
after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a
shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the cir­cuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be
re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta
approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the
fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replace­ment fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest
electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement
fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please fol-

low the instructions provided below:

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not corre­spond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the termi­nal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol

or coloured green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked

Safety device

The heater you have purchased is fitted with safety devices which come on in the event of
malfunctioning while the appliance is in use. If the pilot light (placed opposite the burner)
accidentally goes out, or if the room is not sufficiently ventilated, the safety device will block
the gas flow, causing the heater to go off.

Gas leakages

If a leak is suspected, turn off gas at the gas bottle, open the window and air the room. DO
NOT disconnect the pressure regulator. Extinguish all naked lights. Slowly turn the gas on
and brush the connections with soapy water or liquid detergent - a gas leak will form bub-

bles. If a leak is found, turn the gas off and inform your Dealer. DO NOT use the heater
again until it has been inspected by your Dealer.

NEVER USE MATCHES TO FIND LEAKS.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Gas bottle

Gas Bottle with 15 kg of maximum capacity can be installed.
Changing of gas bottle must not be carried out in the presence of a naked flame.
Use the gas bottle always in upright position. If a screw on regulator is used ensure that the
regulator washer is present and in good condition -replace if in any doubt.
To place the bottle in position, remove the rear panel which faces the inside during tran­sport, by unfastening the screws; than put the bottle in position and replace the panel.
Do not turn the bottle upside down to use completely its content.

Pressure regulators, rubber tubes and clips

CHECK that tubing is completely over the nozzles at each end of the tubing and that it is
held firmly in place by tube clips (See fig.5). Examine flexible tubing regularly and get
your Dealer to fit new tubing 400 mm long complying to local standard, if perished, worn

or damaged. In any case replace the tube every 5 years.
When connecting the pressure regulator to the gas bottle avoid undue twisting of the flexi­ble tubing.
A 28 ÷ 30 mbar (11.2 in w.g.) pressure regulator for Butane or Propane complying to local
standard must be connected to the appliance with the above tubing, using suitable tube
clips.

Ventilation

USE ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM

Adequate ventilation must be provided in rooms in which the heater is used. This ensures
removal of the products of combustion and allows the entry of replacement air.
The following table shows the smallest size of room suitable for each heat setting and the
dimensions of the aperture which must be provided equally divided between high and low
level, according with the maximum, medium or minimum power.

Safety guard

The guard is to prevent risk of fire and no part of it should be permanently removed.

It does not give full protection for young children or the infirm.
