FAQs
What type of gas does this heater use?
This heater is designed for Propane Butane gas and operates at a nominal pressure of 37mbar.
What is the maximum size of the gas cylinder it can accommodate?
It can accommodate gas cylinders up to 11 kg.
Is this heater safe for indoor use?
Yes, it is designed for indoor use, but like all gas heaters, it requires adequate ventilation to prevent the buildup of combustion byproducts. Ensure the room is aired regularly.
How large of an area can this heater effectively warm?
The heater is effective for heating rooms up to 65m2.
Does the heater have safety features?
Yes, it includes an anti-tilt switch and thermoelectric protection to ensure safe operation.
How is the heater ignited?
The heater uses a PIEZO ignition system. You need to press and hold the control knob while repeatedly pressing the ignition button.
How do I adjust the heat output?
The heater has three adjustable power settings: 1400W, 2800W, and 4200W. You can select the desired setting using the control knob.
Troubleshooting
Heater will not ignite
Check that the gas cylinder is connected properly and the valve is open. Ensure the PIEZO igniter is being pressed correctly and repeatedly. Verify the gas type and pressure are correct.
Pilot light goes out after ignition
The thermoelectric safety device may be preventing operation. Ensure the pilot flame is strong enough. If the issue persists, check for obstructions around the pilot light or consider a service.
Low heat output
Ensure the heater is set to the desired power level (1400/2800/4200W). Check the gas cylinder level; a low cylinder can reduce output. Ensure gas connections are not restricted.
Heater shuts off unexpectedly
The anti-tilt switch may have been triggered. Ensure the heater is on a level surface and upright. Check for any obstructions that might be causing it to tilt. The thermoelectric protection may also be a cause; allow the unit to cool and check pilot flame stability.
