4. Setup and Installation

Installation must be carried out by a qualified and authorized technician in accordance with local regulations and standards.

4.1 Location Requirements:

• Install the heater on a stable, non-combustible surface.
• Maintain minimum clearances from combustible materials as specified in local building codes.
• Ensure the installation area has adequate ventilation to prevent oxygen depletion.
• Do not install in bathrooms, bedrooms, or areas with high humidity.

4.2 Gas Connection:

• Connect the heater to a methane gas supply line.
• Use only approved gas fittings and flexible connectors.
• Perform a leak test on all gas connections using a non-corrosive leak detection solution. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.

4.3 Electrical Connection:

This model is a fanless heater and typically does not require an electrical connection for its primary heating function. However, if any auxiliary components (e.g., igniter, control panel) require power, ensure they are connected to a grounded electrical outlet according to local electrical codes.

4.4 Initial Checks:

• Verify that all connections are secure and free from leaks.
• Ensure the heater is level and stable.
• Confirm that the gas supply valve is open.

5. Operation

Before operating, ensure you have read and understood all safety warnings.

5.1 Controls:

The heater typically features a control knob for ignition and flame adjustment. Refer to the specific markings on your unit for precise control functions.

5.2 Starting the Heater:

1. Ensure the gas supply valve is fully open.
2. Turn the control knob to the 'Pilot' position.
3. Press and hold the control knob while simultaneously pressing the igniter button (if present) until the pilot flame lights. Hold for 30-60 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
4. Release the control knob. If the pilot flame extinguishes, repeat steps 2-3.
5. Once the pilot is stable, turn the control knob to the desired heat setting. The main burner should ignite.

5.3 Adjusting Heat:

Rotate the control knob to increase or decrease the flame intensity and heat output. Some models may have numbered settings (e.g., Min, 1, 2, 3, Max).

5.4 Shutting Down:

1. Turn the control knob to the 'OFF' position.
2. For prolonged periods of non-use, close the main gas supply valve to the heater.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your heater. Always disconnect the gas supply before performing any maintenance.

6.1 Cleaning:

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Air Vents: Periodically vacuum or brush dust and debris from the air intake and exhaust vents to ensure proper airflow.
• Pilot and Burner: Keep the pilot light and main burner area clean. Dust or lint can obstruct the flame. Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently clean these components.

6.2 Inspections:

• Regularly check gas connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion.
• Inspect the gas hose (if applicable) for cracks, kinks, or damage.
• Ensure the heater is stable and not leaning.

6.3 Professional Servicing:

It is recommended to have the heater inspected and serviced by a qualified technician at least once a year, especially before the heating season. This includes checking gas pressure, burner operation, and safety devices.
