1. Description / Applications
The Bijou Burner 90 (F = propane, N = natural gas) is a very stable laboratory bur­ner with easily adjustable working position and the option of operation with pilot flame or ignition flame.
The burner is supplied in the following versions:
No. 960-0000 F
>>> burner for propane
No. 961-0000 N (H)
>>> burner for natural gas E
No. 961-0001 N (L)
>>> burner for natural gas LL
Please note:
Old New
natural gas N (H) natural gas E
natural gas N (L) natural gas LL
The burner is type-tested and approved by the DVGW (German Association of Gas and Water Installers).
Type: GH-100-011, Reg.No. NG-2211AO0737 (93.01e044)
2. Installation / Operation
The burner may only be installed by qualified staff in accordance with the DVGW regulations.
1. Insert and fix the gas lever supplied with
the burner into the screw thread hole on the burner‘s operating element.
2. Check whether the type of gas and ope-
rating pressure required for the burner are compatible with your gas supply.
3. Inspect the connection pipe to ensure it is correctly fitted and in perfect condition.
4. Shut off the gas tap on the laboratory bench.
5. Push the gas hose (DIN 30664) onto the inlet nozzle of the Bijou Burner right up to the last groove. If necessary, secure the tube with a clip or circular spring to prevent it slipping off (see DVGW worksheet G 621).
6. Adjust the Bijou Burner‘s gas lever to po- sition A and open the shutoff valve on the laboratory bench. You should now clearly hear gas flowing out. Carefully ignite the burner from the side. Regulate the flame as described in point 4. (Handling).
3. Areas of Caution
• The burner should not be used in areas
where there is a strong draught, as this may cause the flame to be extinguished unintentionally.
• Laboratory burners must only be used
under constant supervision. After finishing work, the gas supply to the burner must be shut off (shutoff valve, disconnection from the gas main).
• When used in classrooms, laboratory
burners may only be put into operation after first switching on the upstream shutoff devices, such as central shutoff for the entire room, group shutoff device and shutoff valve.
• For installation and operation of gas
systems in labs and science lecture rooms the regulations in the DVGW Worksheet G621 (German regulations) must be heeded.
• After use, the gas supply should be
shut off immediately via the shutoff valve, or, by separating the gas connection safety valve.
• If there is a strong smell of gas, close
the gas shutoff valve immediately and take safety precautions (see DVGW regulations).
• Always observe the accident prevention regulations of the relevant employer‘s liability insurers.
• Never use water or compressed air to rinse or blow out burners!
3.1 Exclusion of liability
Renfert GmbH rejects any claims for compensation as well as warranty claims in case of:
• the product is used for any other purpose than those mentioned in the instruction manual
• the product is changed or amended in any way beyond those mentioned in the instruction manual
• the product is repaired by a non-autho­rized party or the product is not fitted with original Renfert replacement parts
• the product is used continuously despite visible safety faults
4. Handling
The laboratory burner does not have a closed position! The flame of the Bijou Burner can be preselected by means of the gas lever. The play in the control elements is intentional. It results from the prescribed decoupling of valve and control element. This guarantees that the valve is always activated under identical conditions, which is essential for operational safety.
A
Position A:
Ignition or pilot flame burns
Position B:
Main flame and ignition flame burn
Position C:
Main flame burns
When selecting positions A and C the gas lever must always be moved all the way to the limit stop so that, firstly, the position is quickly and unambiguously identifiable if the burner goes out and, secondly, to prevent any possibility of flashback to the burner‘s jet.

C
4.1 Regulating the main flame
The burner‘s main flame can be regulated by simply turning the knurled ring on the main burner tube.
A smooth flame is produced by turning the knurled ring upwards. The air feed is reduced and the flame becomes smooth.
A harsh flame is produced by turning the knur­led ring downwards. The air feed is increased and the flame becomes harsh.
4.2 Regulating the pilot flame
A smooth flame, which burns very stably, is produced by pushing the sleeve over the air­feed holes of the small burner tube.
A harsh flame, which is, however, more easily extinguished, is produced by pushing the slee­ve away from the air-feed holes of the small burner tube.
The ignition flame should be as stable, and therefore as smooth, as possible in order to ensure reliable burner operation. Adjust the flame so that it cannot be extinguished unintentionally.
4.3 Adjusting the burner position
The burner can be positioned at three different angles:
60° 90° 120°
To adjust the burner to the angle which suits you best, simply lift it out of its base and reinsert in the required position. The burner is thus equally well suited for left­handed and right-handed users.
The burner should not be used in the
90° position when working with wax, since dripping wax may block the jets and cause the burner to mal­function.
5. Troubleshooting Guide
Fault Cause Remedy If the burner will
not light in spite of the gas shutoff valve being open and no gas is heard escaping.
If the burner will not light even though there is a loud noise of escaping gas.
If there is a smell of gas when the burner is alight.
• Central gas supply has not been turned on / gas bottle is empty.
• Jets are blocked or dirty.
• Strong draught in the area of the burner.
• Incorrect type of gas or supply pressure.
• Connections are leaking.
• Burner is leaking.
• Operational error.
• Screw off burner tubes and carefully clean the jets with a soft cloth.
Do not screw out the jets!
• Eliminate the draught, reposition the burner.
• Check supply pressure and type of gas.
• Check the connections.
• If the burner leaks do not carry out repairs yourself, send burner for inspection.
6. Cleaning / Maintenance
The Bijou Burner requires no maintenance. From time to time the burner should be cleaned. Please observe the following cleaning instructions:
Never use water or compressed air
to rinse or blow out burners! This could flush out / blow out the sealant grease causing the burner to leak.
1. The maximum temperature for cleaning is
o
C (122ºF).
50
2. Do not use cleaning agents because of the risk of chemical reaction.
3. To clean the valve only use a duster or moist leather (must not be dripping wet)!
4. To clean the burner close the shutoff valve, pull the hose off the burner and wipe the burner clean with a cloth or leather. The burner tubes can be screwed off and cleaned separately.
5. Do not dismantle the burner!
6. Never drill out the burner jets.
7. Do not blow out the burner‘s inlet nozzle with compressed air. This could blow away the sealing grease and cause the burner to leak.
8. The burner jets must not be screwed out for cleaning. The burner could start to leak and safe use is no longer guaranteed.
If the burner nozzle becomes
plugged, disassemble the tubes than hold the burner with the nozzle fa­cing down. Use a hair dryer or other device generating hot air, melt the wax plug and allow the molten wax to completely run out. If this method fails to clean the nozzle, it must be either cleaned or replaced by an authorized technician.
7. Switching to a different
type of gas
The Bijou 90 conforms with the regulations set out in DIN 30665 Part 1 and enables a switch to another type of gas by changing the set of burner nozzles.

The installed nozzles are not marked.
• The natural gas H version is distinguished with the sticker „Erdgas H“ (Erdgas E).
• The natural gas L version is distinguished with the sticker „Erdgas L“ (Erdgas LL).
• The liquid gas version is distinguished with the sticker „Flüssiggas“.
The predetermined lab burner can be switched over to natural gas H (E), natural gas L (LL) and liquid gas by changing the set of nozzles and its respective sticker. The relevant conversion sets are given in the table above. Each set consists of a small nozzle, a large nozzle and a sticker naming the respective type of gas. The conver­sion sets are featured in the spare parts list.
The changeover of the nozzles must
only be carried out by qualified specialists in accordance with DVGW regulations (German legislation - check local regulations).
