Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions

INSTALLATION

3. Proper clearance from combustible materials must
be maintained at all times. The minimum clearances
are as follows:

Minimum Clearance from Combustibles:

Side 500 mm Rear 500 mm

Ceiling 1000 mm

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. Heaters must be placed on a level and adequate
footing and be readily accessible.

5. The gas manifold supply pressure must be regulated
at 2.75 kPa utilising an AGA approved regulator
(supplied with heater).

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 heater
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 should be visually checked

whenever heater is operated. If flames extend
beyond surface of the guard the appliance should
be turned off and should not be operated again until
the unit is serviced and or repaired.

e. Any cleaning agent used on the heater should be of

a non-combustible and non-corrosive nature.

f. The stainless steel emitter normally does not require

cleaning and should NEVER be painted.

7. 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 heater. If
excessive abrasion or wear is evident, or the hose
is cut, it must be replaced prior to operating the
heater. The replacement hose assembly may be
obtained from the manufacturer.

8. DO NOT use any pressure regulator or hose
assembly other than those supplied with the

to cover it with a dust cap. A leak test should be
performed with soapy water whenever connecting a
new cylinder. NEVER use a match to test for leaks.

12. The propane cylinder must be turned off whenever
the heater is not in use. When the heater is to be
stored indoors, the propane cylinder and the heater
must be disconnected and the cylinder stored in
accordance with the Standard for Storage and
Handling of Liquefied Gases.

13. The appliance has been designed with several
safety features which include a tip over switch.

IMPORTANT

Storage of an appliance indoors with the cylinder
attached is only permitted if the size of the cylinder
complies with AS/NZS 1596; otherwise cylinders
must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area.

The guards are fitted to this appliance to reduce the
risk of fire or injury from burns and no part of it should
be removed.

this appliance. Special concern is as follows:

(1) DO NOT bypass thermocouple safety burner;

(2) DO NOT operate heater without the guard;

Clothing or other flammable materials should not be
hung from the heater, or placed on or near the heater.
The area above the burner may be extremely hot. Direct
contact with these metal surfaces should be avoided in
order to prevent burns or clothing ignition.
