4.1.5. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas which can be produced if the heater is not working
correctly. It is difficult to recognise as it has no colour, odour or taste. Some symptoms of CO poisoning are:
Weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, (severe) headache, convulsions, coma, slowed respiration, depressed
heart action, tightness across the forehead. If the exposure is severe it can cause death.
If the heater is showing any signs of the following it could be producing Carbon Monoxide:
Ceramic burner panels are dull, gas burns with a blue haze, soot deposits on the burner panels, burner panels
or cement fixings are damaged, heater does not burn quietly. If there are any of these signs and/or any of the
symptoms present, switch the heater off and have it checked by a qualified gas engineer.
CONNECTIONS
1. Remove all the packaging from the heater.
2. A standard Butane gas cylinder up to a maximum size of 15kg is required.
3. Connecting the regulator to the gas cylinder – ensure that the regulator tap is in the 'Closed' position (fig.3) and
that the heat control dial is in the ignition position1 (fig.5) before doing so. Remove the cap from the gas
cylinder, place the regulator onto the gas cylinder and push down firmly and vertically. A clicking sound should
be heard, indicating that the regulator is securely installed (if it is difficult to push down, slight pressure on the
release button may be needed). NEVER attempt to install or remove the regulator whilst the tap is in the 'Open'
position (fig.4).
4. Turn the regulator tap to the 'Open' position, by lifting the release button first (fig.3).
5. Check the hose and fittings for gas leaks. WARNING! DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME to check for leaks, the
use of a foamy soap solution or leak detector spray is recommended.
6. Remove the gas cylinder retainer (fig.2.D) from its transit position in the heater, by removing the four screws.
Carefully lift and install the gas cylinder into the heater, seek help lifting the gas cylinder if required. Ensure that
the flexible gas supply hose does not get trapped or kinked. Retain the gas cylinder with the gas cylinder
retainer, using the 4 screws to fix it into place (fig.2.D).
7. Site the heater in the preferred location, ensuring all safety instructions in section 1 are adhered to.
