Warning
In order to avoid overheating and fire hazards, the
heater must not be covered.
Warning
Inhaling propane may cause damages to health. Ensure
the tightness of all connections. Only use the device in
well-ventilated spaces or out of doors.
Warning
Oxygen is consumed during the operation of the
device. In smaller rooms this would result in an oxygen
deficiency. Only use the device in well-ventilated
spaces or out of doors.
Warning
There is a danger of suffocation and poisoning due to
the carbon monoxide formed during unclean
combustion and the lack of fresh air supply/
ventilation.
Do not use the device in windowless basements or
other spaces below ground level.
Only use the device in well-ventilated spaces or out of
doors.
Do not leave the device running unattended.
Behaviour when having detected the smell of gas
If you suspect a gas leak, e.g. you smell gas, make sure to
observe the instructions below:
• Do not actuate any electrical switches! Do not switch on
the light!
• Do not use a phone – corded, wireless or mobile – in the
danger area.
• Do not use naked flames or other open sources of ignition,
e.g. a lighter or match. Do not smoke!
• Immediately close the gas cylinder's main valve by turning
the gas cock clockwise.
• Open all doors and windows to ensure a sufficient fresh air
supply.
Behaviour in the event of an emergency
1. Turn the gas off at the main valve.
2. Quickly leave the danger area. Remove other persons from
the danger area.
3. Notify the fire brigade.
Overheating protection
The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is
activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the
operating temperature).
As a result, the gas supply will be interrupted. The fan keeps
running.
The safety thermostat resets automatically when cooled down
sufficiently, but the device will have to be restarted. Investigate
the cause of overheating before switching the device back on.
Flame failure protection
The device comes equipped with a temperature sensor which
ensures that the temperature stays above 430°C. As soon as
the device falls below this temperature the valve closes and
interrupts the gas flow. This prevents an involuntary emission of
unburnt gas. So long as the gas flame heats the sensor, the gas
outlet is open. As soon as the flame dies, the gas flow will be
interrupted.

Device description
The device TGH 10 E / TGH 15 E / TGH 30 E was developed for
the purpose of generating hot air and may only be used in
roofed over outdoor areas or in well-ventilated interior spaces
whilst adhering to the technical data.
The device generates heat by burning propane. The fan sucks in
the ambient air and feeds it through the combustion area. In this
area the supplied gas is burnt under controlled conditions and
the warm air discharged through the air outlet.
The device comes equipped with a piezo igniter for lighting the
torch.
