Instructions to change gas cylinders:

• Before connecting the (new) gas cylinder, first check if the rubber seals on the cylinder valve or on the regulator connecting nut are fitted properly and able to fulfil its function and are not damaged or worn. If the last case is true, do not use it and replace the seals first.
• After connecting the regulator firmly, open the cylinder valve and check with soapy water if the connection is leak tight. If bubbles appear, the connection leaks. Do not use the heater unless the system is sound.

Troubleshooting problems that may be to do with the Regulator:

Flames leave the – confines of the burner – or are sooting – or a blue cloud is under the reflector?

Check for the following:

• Gas pressure is too high. Check the gas pressure with the data plate.
• Is the gas regulator broken?
• Wrong gas used? Check data plate for the correct gas supply
• Venturi/air inlet is blocked/dirty
• Valve dual injection model (Di) is leaking
• Check the size of the venturi and injector with the table
• Not enough fresh air available due to mounting situation
• Dirty air filter
• Heater not suspended at 15 degrees angle
• Small o-ring (33) (Di) is missing or leaking
