4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the hot air generator and all accessories from the packaging. Check for any damage.
2. Positioning: Place the generator on a stable, level, non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure adequate clearance from walls and flammable materials.
3. Gas Cylinder Connection:
   • Ensure the gas cylinder valve is closed.
   • Connect the supplied pressure regulator to a standard 5 kg or 11 kg propane/butane gas cylinder.
   • Attach the gas hose from the pressure regulator to the gas inlet on the hot air generator. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
   • Perform a leak test on all gas connections using soapy water. Bubbles indicate a leak. Do not proceed if a leak is detected.
4. Power Connection: Connect the power cable to a suitable electrical outlet (refer to specifications for voltage requirements).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting the Generator

1. Ensure all setup steps are completed and safety precautions are observed.
2. Open the valve on the gas cylinder.
3. Press and hold the gas valve button on the generator.
4. While holding the gas valve button, press the ignition button (piezo ignition) repeatedly until the flame ignites. You should hear a clicking sound and see the flame.
5. Continue to hold the gas valve button for a few seconds after ignition to allow the flame protection device to engage.
6. Release the gas valve button. The flame should remain lit.
7. Switch the fan on using the integrated fan switch. The fan will start circulating hot air.

5.2 Shutting Down the Generator

1. Close the valve on the gas cylinder first. This allows any remaining gas in the hose to burn off.
2. Once the flame extinguishes, switch off the fan using the integrated fan switch.
3. Disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet.
4. Allow the unit to cool down completely before moving or storing.
