Notes on connecting the gas bottle to the appliance
•
Use only the type of gas and gas bottle recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
The device is equipped with a gas pressure regulator, a flexible gas-rubber
hose and clamps that comply with the national regulations applicable in
the country of destination.
•
The appliance must be equipped with an approved gas pressure regulator
(approved for an operating temperature of at least 50 °C) in accordance
with the EN standard (see information on the required gas pressure in the
"Gas specifications" section and the description of how to connect the
gas pressure regulator at the inlet and outlet in accordance with the
applicable national regulations in the "Assembly" section) and a flexible
gas hose in accordance with EN 16436-1 (with a suitable internal diameter
corresponding to the connection at the gas inlet in accordance with
the applicable national regulations) with a maximum length of 2 m and
approved for an operating temperature of at least 60 °C). Only replace the
gas pressure regulator, the flexible rubber gas hose and the clamps with
replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer. The gas pressure
regulator should be replaced at least every 10 years.
•
Handle the flexible gas hose with care. Make sure that it is not twisted or
bent. Never use a damaged gas pressure regulator.
•
Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas source (the use of a gas
pressure regulator is mandatory).
•
When the device is not in use, turn the gas bottle valve to the "OFF"
position.
•
The flexible gas hose must be inserted carefully into the gas bottle
compartment. Be careful not to twist it.
•
After connecting a gas cylinder, always carry out a leak test of the gas
connections using a soap solution. If bubbles form, this indicates a leak. Do
not use the unit until you have fixed the leak. Never carry out a leak test
with an open flame! This is strictly forbidden and dangerous!
•
Always change gas bottles in a well-ventilated area outdoors, away from
ignition sources.
•
Place the gas cylinder at a distance of 60 inches (approx. 1.50 m) from the
gas fireplace (see illustration below).
