When you are not using the Cosiloft, make sure you always turn off the valve of the gas bottle.
- Installation of the gas bottle outside of the Cosiloft
If you want to place the gas bottle outside of the Cosiloft, for example because you are using a gas bottle
with more capacity than is specified in the list, you can also place the gas bottle outside the Cosiloft.
This can be done in the following way:
1. Guide the gas hose outside the Cosiloft by placing the gas hose underneath the model.
2. The supplied hose has a length of 1.5 m. Therefore, the gas bottle should be placed at a maximum
distance of 1 meter away from the Cosiloft. Children and pets can trip over the hose, so place the
hose outside of the walking area, where children and pets can’t reach it.
3. Connect the gas bottle to the supplied pressure regulator and open the gas bottle open when you
want to use the Cosiloft. When you are not using the Cosiloft make sure the gas valve on the gas
bottle is turned off.
3. Replacing the cylinder
Do you need to replace the gas bottle, because it’s empty? Make sure the model, ceramic logs and lava rocks
are completely cooled down! Use the description in point 2 “placing the gas bottle” and remove the old bottle.
You can have the old bottle filled up at your local gas supplier.
4. Replacing the hose and pressure regulator
Replace your propane gas hose every four years. This is a national advice. Pressure regulators can go for five
years. After the pressure regulator and the gas hose have been replaced, the unit must always be checked for
gas leaks.
How to check your Cosiloft for gas leaks:
- Open the gas bottle but do not turn on the Cosiloft!
- Make a solution with 50% water and 50% detergent, and spray this solution on each connection and the
hose. If there is a gas leak in the connection or the hose you will see air bubbles arise.
- If bubbles are visible, immediately shut off the gas. Buy a new hose or regulator.
- Does the problem keep occurring? Please contact a qualified gas engineer.
Replace the hose or pressure regulator and make sure that they are installed in the exact same way. In the
Netherlands, a 30mbar pressure regulator should be placed. The hose must not be longer than 2.5 meters.
When in doubt, always consult a qualified gas engineer.
5. Replacing the battery for the piezo ignition
The Cosiloft features a piezo ignition that runs on one AAA battery. This battery may run out after repeated use
of the device. The battery can be replaced as follows:
- Make sure the Cosiloft, ceramic logs and lava rocks are completely cooled down.
- Make sure the Cosiloft is no longer connected to the gas bottle.
- On the control panel you will find a smaller black button besides the control button. This is the ignition
where you will find the battery.
- You can now twist the black ignition open and place the battery on the ignition, according to the
instructions. Please mind the +/- sides.
- The old battery should be returned to a collection point.
6. Moving the unit
It is advisable to move the Cosiloft as little as possible. With every move you risk damage to the Cosiloft. If you
still want to move the unit, make sure that the Cosiloft is shut off from the gas bottle. The new location for
Cosiloft needs to be clean, flat and hardened again.
7. Installing the cover
Each Cosiloft is supplied with a protective cover. This protects your Cosiloft against weather influences. It is
always advised to use this cover. Only place the cover when the Cosiloft is completely cooled down. If you place
the cover immediately after usage of the device, the cover will gain damage and possibly even catch fire.
Note: Have you purchased a teak Cosiloft? Than you should take notice to never place the cover over teak
wood. Unfortunately, teak is not suitable to be covered. You can leave the teak table top outside or store it in a
garage or garden shed, for example. For information about the maintenance and treatment of teak wood, see
