Make sure there is no fire or sparks in the vicinity when you are performing the
leakage test and do not smoke!
If the gas hose shows signs of bursting, cracks or other damage, it must be replaced
by a new hose of the same length and equivalent quality. Replace it at least every 3
or 4 years; see the writing on the hose.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Switch the unit off, unplug it and give the heater time to cool off before you clean it or
perform maintenance.
Keep the unit clean (particularly the grills and the ventilator blades) and remove dust
regularly. You can clean the housing with a damp cloth. Never use aggressive,
corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents.
You can carefully try to remove dust and other dirt in the unit with a brush, vacuum it out
or blow it off (carefully) with a compressor.
Check the incineration after the heater is ignited. The normal flame is blue and not
outside of the unit. The flame must be stable and the entire flame circle must be uniform
in shape. If that is not the case, there is something wrong with the incineration. Contact
your service department.
Regularly check the gas hose and its screw connections. If the hose is damaged
(kinked, burst or worn out, shows signs of burns or anything), this must be replaced
immediately. Even without visible damage, the hose must be replaced at least every 3
or 4 years (see the printing on the hose). Only use an approved gas hose.
If the gas tap on the gas bottle falters and the gas supply cannot be turned off normally,
first press the power regular to (O) and unplug the unit. The gas valve will now block the
gas supply and the heater will shut off. Allow the unit to cool off, but don't disconnect the
gas hose! Take the gas bottle and the connected device to your gas supplier to have
the problem solved. This defect is not in your unit.
If you think you won’t use the device for a long time, you should disconnect the gas
supply hose from the unit and place the protective cap on the opening. Put the unit in
the original packaging (or another dust-free box or bag) and keep it in a cool, dry place
outside the reach of children. Before you use the device again, you must check whether
the ventilator is working properly and no flammable materials are still next to/in/on the
heater. Also perform a gas leakage test.
Repairs must only be performed by qualified people. Never open the heater yourself!
Make sure that only original parts are used; that definitely applies to the gas hose and
the pressure regulator!
The heater must be inspected at least once a year by a qualified person.
