2. InTroDucTIon
Many users have found the advantages of propane heaters far outweigh the small additional running costs. The fuel is more completely burned
and does not leave an oily residue as experienced with paraffin heaters. There is no odour, except for the few seconds during start-up and the
units run a little more quietly since they do not need a compressor to drive the fuel to the burner.
Heaters are fan assisted, fitted with a piezoelectric ignition system for trouble-free starting and feature a direct gas head assembly. Safety
solenoids prevent the heater from leaking gas without first being electrically started. Supplied with an approved propane gas regulator and hose.
All models are tested and certified to CE/EN standards. Manufactured to BS EN 1596.
