2.2 Assembly of Patio Heater
ASSEMBLY – please refer to diagrams. The installation of this appliance shall only be carried out by competent persons and be in accordance with the relevant Codes of Practice. Make sure to avoid any twisting of the hose while you perform this operation.
1. Unpack the base unit, emitter, control box and heater pole.
2. Screw the gas hose to the connector at the bottom of the control canister (unless already attached)
3. Place the base unit in a suitable position on an even surface.
4. Holding the emitter and control cannister and feed the rubber hose through the top of the heater pole and secure with fixing screws and washers (see fig 1).
5. Hold the pole with emitter and control box attached above the base and carefully feed the gas hose through the upright pole of the base (see fig 2).
6. Take the 2 washers and 2cm screws and screw into the bottom of the pole fixing it to the base (part 2).
7. Place the reflector on top of the emitter; fasten down using the butterfly nut and washer (part 3-4).
2.3 To fit Gas Cylinder (not supplied)
WARNING - Fitting gas cylinders to appliances must be in accordance with the code of practice. Ensure all naked flames are extinguished. There are several brands of bottled propane gas (e.g. Calor, Supergas, Handygas). This heater has been designed to accommodate most manufacturers’11-13 kg propane cylinders – 58 cm high, 32cm diameter, but we recommend that owner take the base and cylinder bag to their local gas retailer and check the fit before purchasing. Avoid twisting the flexible tubing.The hose length is 1.5 metres long.
1. Check the metal connection on the regulator is clean. (Dirty connections can cause leaks).
2. Check the cylinder valve is in the closed position before removing plug from outlet connection.
3. Screw regulator connection into cylinder valve and tighten with spanner firmly to give a gas tight fit.
4. Lift the base and rest on the retaining screw on the arch of the base pole. (Bullet Only)
5. Place gas cylinder on the foot of the base.
6. (Not for bullet base heaters) Slip cylinder bag over gas bottle, making sure that access slit is over regulator.
7. (Not for bullet base heaters) Place spiral base over the top of the cylinder.
8. (Not for bullet base heaters) Secure base clip at the bottom of the spiral to the bracket with the supplied “R” clip.
9. Connect hose to gas regulator so that the nozzle is fully inserted into the hose and secure with hose clip (see fig 3). Or screw the nut at the end of the hose on to the regulator if hose is fitted with a screw connector.
3.0 LIGHTING HEATER
W
ARNING: The burner control knob must be in the OFF position before opening the LPG cylinder valve.
1 Open the LPG cylinder valve in an anti-clockwise direc­tion until it stops. DO NOT FORCE THE VALVE! 2 To light the “PILOT LIGHT”– push in the control knob and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the “PILOT”position. Note: for initial start or after any cylinder change, hold con­trol knob in for two (2) minutes to purge air from gas lines before proceeding. 3 Press the piezo igniter button a few times (you should hear a clicking sound). The “PILOT-LIGHT”should then ignite. Continue to hold the control knob in for approxi­mately one (1) minute after the pilot light is lit. The Pilot­Light should remain lit and control knob should pop back out when released. WARNING: If the pilot does not light, turn the burner con­trol knob to the OFF position and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to light the heater. 4 To light the main burner in the “LOW”position, turn the control knob in an anti-clockwise direction until it reaches the low position. To light the burner in the “HIGH” position, continue to rotate the control knob in an anti-clockwise direction until it stops. WARNING:Allow the heater run for minimum five (5) min­utes in the “LOW”position before switching to the “HIGH” position. WARNING: If the main burner does not light, turn the burner control knob to the PILOT position and wait five (5) minutes. If, after repeated attempts the burner does not light, call the Customer Service Centre or your installer. WARNING: Should the burner go out during operation, TURN ALL GAS VALVES OFF! Wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light the patio heater.
4.0 TO TURN THE HEATER OFF
To shut off the patio heater after use, turn the burner con­trol knob clockwise to the OFF position. After the flame has gone out, turn off the gas supply at the LPG cylinder.
• THE HOTSPOT HEATER IS MOST EFFECTIVE ON A LEVEL SURFACE.
• DO NOT LEAVE THE HOTSPOT OUTSIDE DURING PERIODS OF PROLONGED BAD WEATHER. If flame goes out during lighting or use: a) Check the bayonet gas connection. b) Check the regulator connection to the bottle c) Check gas cylinder to see if it is empty. IMPORTANT - If a gas leak is suspected extinguish all naked light and disconnect bottle from heater. NEVER USE a naked flame when looking for leaks.Use liquid detergent and small bubbles will indicate position of a leak. If in doubt contact your local supervisor for assistance.
5.0 CLEANING
Do not attempt to clean heater while it is warm. Generally cleaning can be done with a damp soapy cloth followed by polishing with a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners should never be used.
6.0 STORAGE
1) Disconnect gas cylinder.
2) Remove cylinder from housing.
3) To dismantle heater for storage, reverse the assembly procedure (see 3.2). If the appliance has been in storage carry out the following checks: Gas soundness Hose check for any signs of wear
Check burner for any blockages Clean venturi
WARNING
Always store cylinders in accordance with the ‘Code of Practice for keeping liquefied petroleum gas in cylinders’ Published by the Health and Safety Executive and available from HMSO. SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS To ensure continued and safe operation it is advised that a qualified person should carry a full service out once a year. WARNING:It is strongly advised that all servicing is carried out by a competent person in accordance with Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 and BS 5482: Part 1: 1979 or the Rules in Force. IMPORTANT - Regularly check the flexible connecting hose for signs of wear and tear or perishing. If you have any doubts about the hose do not use the appliance until you have replaced it with a new one. (Replacement hoses and clips can be ordered from Direct Designs Ltd on +44 1460 234300 or from most Gas retailers) IMPORTANT – If you suspect a gas leak, extinguish all naked light and turn off gas cylinder tap.NEVER USE naked flame when looking for leaks.Apply washing up detergent to joints and bubbling will reveal source of leak. If in doubt contact your local supplier for assistance.
7.0 SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
PERIODIC SERVICING SCHEDULE (to be carried out once a year by a qualified engineer)
1. Gas soundness check.
2. Gas supply pressure check.
3.Verification of the burner function: The correct functioning of the burner may be checked with the use of a gas analyser.Allow the burner to operate on full for 5 to 10 minutes.Sample the products of combustion from underneath the canopy/reflector. The concentration of CO should not exceed 40 to 50 ppm for a CO2 concentration of between 6 and 9.5% volume. The flame should appear fairly clear and blue.Some slightly yellowing is normal as long as it is not excessive and the flame does not appear lazy or floppy and there is no formation of soot appearing on the inside of the reflector canopy. Sooting can be checked if necessary using a smoke pump, in accordance with the manufactures directions, as an additional check on the burner function.The smoke number should be 2 or less. ROUTINE SERVICING PROCEDURE (to be undertaken by user once or twice a year according to frequency of use)
1.Turn off gas at cylinder valve.
2. Detach reflector head (unscrew wing nut).
3. Remove emitter.
4. Clean the perforated emitter with a wire brush to remove any deposits, then clean with warm soapy water.
5. Regularly check the flexible connecting hose for signs of wear and tear or perishing. If you have any doubts about the hose do not use the appliance until you have replaced it with a new one which should be no longer than 2 metres (supplied with a 1.5 metre hose). (Replacement hoses and clips can be ordered from Direct Designs Ltd on +44 1460 30600 or from most Gas retailers) Warning If the appliance can’t be left in a safe condition disconnect and remove the gas cylinder from the appliance
