    Instruction manual SAFEX- 13/35 LAME ETTT Textversion 3.52 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Several turns are required to screw the cartridge in and while it should be hand-tightened, it must be screwed in to the point where there is substantial resistance. As a rule, no fuel/gas mixture es- capes during this procedure.

    O.K. button. Afterwards the system confirms: ® (In Version 3.5 the new developed SAFEX -SUPER-FLAMEJETTT-CARTRIDGE with approx. 1l combustible fuel mixture is already taken to account. It will be available in the second half of 2008, prospectively.) The apparatus can then use this information to gauge the approximate level or consumption of the fuel mixture and this is indicated continuously on the display.

    If the ducts inside is severely corroded and not sufficient reflective, there must be af- fixed a reflective metallic foil which can be requested free of costs from SAFEX. (Alternatively can be ordered the sensor protective housing with the duct made from stainless steel as a spare part, completely in- and outside metallic blank).

    -Logo)*. ® In a certain scope slanted flames can be produced as an original effect with the SAFEX-FLAMEJETTT in that the device is inclined side-ways. This is made possible now due to the improved igniting elec- trodes. The possibility of the slanting position is, however, limited by physical qualities of aerosol-cans also of the flames itself.
