IMPORTANT'

• Avoid twisting or kinking the flexible gas hose.

• If there is a leak in your appliance (smell of gas), immediately attempt to

turn off the cylinder valve. Remove the appliance to a well-ventilated
location away from any ignition source. Check for leaks using soapy
water. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame.

• Do not attempt to move or relocate the appliance when it is operating.
Extinguish the burner and allow it to cool. Disconnect the gas cylinder
then move the appliance using the handle.

CHECKING'FOR'GAS'LEAKS'

• Check that seals between the appliance and the gas container are in place
and in good condition before connecting the gas container.

• If the O-ring on the POL fitting of the gas hose is missing,
worn, or damaged, you must obtain a replacement from
an authorised service centre.

• NEVER check for leaks with a flame or pilot light.

• To safely check for leaks, use the ‘soapy water’ method.

Coat the connection points (i.e. the connection between
the hose and the hot water system, and the connection between the hose and
the gas bottle) with a thin layer of soapy water. If you see bubbles appear, turn
the cylinder gas control off and retighten the connection before re-testing.

• Inspect the appliance regularly for signs of wear, leaks or
incorrect operation. If symptoms such as burner flares,
lighting issues, hose or connection damage, or leaks from
the seals or gas controls are identified, do not attempt to
repair; contact customer service.

• There is a plastic ring seal inside the gas hose adaptor. If
the seal is missing, worn, or damaged, you must obtain a
replacement from an authorised service centre.

• To check if gas remains in the cylinder, disconnect from the appliance and
hold the cylinder in a vertical position then shake from side to side. If there is
a sound or feel of liquid movement inside the cylinder contains gas.

• Change the gas cylinder outside in a well-ventilated location away from
people, animals, and ignition sources such as naked flames, pilot lights, and
electrical equipment such as heaters.

HANGING'THE'APPLIANCE'

OUTDOOR USE ONLY – The appliance must be used outdoors only. Combustible
surfaces, fabrics, and flammable materials must be kept at least 1000mm away from
the sides and top of the appliance while it is operating.

The appliance is designed to be hung upright against a non-combustible vertical
surface. Do not operate from a non-upright position. Doing so can be dangerous and
will damage the appliance.

Do not operate the appliance in a dusty environment, or within 300mm of any
electrical appliances or electrical wires.

During operation, ensure that the combustion air inlets on the sides of the unit and
the combustion air exhaust on the top of the unit are kept free from obstructions.

APPLIANCE'PERFORMANCE'

Important – this appliance is designed to be used with a source water temperature of
20°C or below. If the temperature of the outlet water exceeds 50°C the burners will
shut off; you will be required to turn the water flow off and on again to reignite the
burners.

This appliance is designed to raise the outlet water temperature by a maximum
(average) of 25°C above the source water temperature. The temperature increase
can be adjusted using the gas regulator and water regulator control knobs located at
the front of the device. Increasing the gas flow, or decreasing the water flow, will
increase the outlet water temperature.

SAFETY'FEATURES'

The appliance is equipped with the following safety features:

Over temperature sensor. The appliance will not allow the burner to remain in
operation once the outlet water temperature reaches 50°C. To relight the burner you
will need to turn the water flow off and back on.

Water flow sensor. Water must be flowing through the system to allow the burner to
ignite. If the water supply is restricted (for example: if you shut off the water flow at
the showerhead), the burner will be extinguished and will not relight until the water
flow recommences.
