5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to set up your heater. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during installation.

1. Unpacking: Remove all packaging materials from the heater.
2. Positioning: Place the heater on a firm, level, non-flammable surface. Ensure there is sufficient clearance from walls, furniture, and other combustible materials (e.g., at least 1 meter from the front, 0.5 meters from sides and rear).

   • Carefully place a 15 kg LPG gas bottle into the compartment. Ensure it is stable and upright.
   • Connect the supplied pressure regulator to the gas bottle valve. Tighten securely by hand, then use a wrench if necessary, but do not overtighten.
   • Connect the other end of the gas hose to the heater's gas inlet. Ensure all connections are tight.
4. Leak Test: Before first use, perform a leak test on all gas connections using a soapy water solution. Apply the solution to the connections; if bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten connections or replace faulty parts. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
5. Ventilation Check: Confirm that the room where the heater will be used has adequate ventilation.
