Safety Information
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
- This appliance is designed for indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.
- Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the heater. Do not use in unventilated areas.
- Use only with butane gas G30 or propane gas G31. Ensure the gas cylinder and regulator are compatible with the heater and local regulations.
- Keep flammable materials at a safe distance from the heater.
- Do not obstruct the air inlets or outlets of the heater.
- Never leave the heater unattended while in operation.
- Keep children and pets away from the heater.
Integrated Safety Systems:
- Double Safety System: The heater is equipped with a double safety system that automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out or if the percentage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere exceeds safe levels. This prevents gas leaks and CO2 poisoning.
- Overheat Protection: The heater includes a mechanism to prevent overheating, automatically shutting down if internal temperatures become too high.
- Tip-Over Protection: A fall protection system (tilting sensor) automatically turns off the heater if it is accidentally knocked over.
Figure 1: Double Safety System. This image highlights the double safety system, which automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame extinguishes or if CO2 levels in the atmosphere exceed safety thresholds. It also shows the top cover and underside of the heater.
