3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport. Inspect the heater for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Placement: Position the heater on a stable, non-combustible, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 1 meter (3 feet) clearance from any combustible materials (furniture, curtains, walls, etc.) on all sides. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
- Gas Cylinder Connection:
- Ensure the gas cylinder valve is closed.
- Connect the gas regulator to the gas cylinder valve according to the regulator's instructions.
- Connect the gas hose from the regulator to the heater's gas inlet. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Leak Test:
- Open the gas cylinder valve slowly.
- Apply a soapy water solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the gas valve immediately and tighten the connections. Repeat the test. If leaks persist, do not use the heater and contact qualified service personnel.
- Battery Installation (for ignition, if applicable): If your model requires batteries for the igniter, install 1 AA battery as indicated in the battery compartment.
4. Operating Instructions
- Starting the Heater:
- Ensure the gas cylinder valve is fully open.
- Turn the control knob to the desired heat setting (e.g., Low, Medium, High).
- Press and hold the control knob inward while simultaneously pressing the igniter button repeatedly until the pilot flame ignites.
- Continue to hold the control knob for 10-20 seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up. Release the knob. The main burner should now ignite.
- If the burner does not ignite, repeat the process. If it fails after several attempts, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
- Adjusting Heat: Rotate the control knob to select the desired heat output. The Orbegozo HBF 120 features adjustable flame and thermostat settings for optimal comfort.
