SCOPE OF USE
CONNECTING TO A GAS CYLINDER
Proceed as follows to connect the appliance to a gas container:
- Ensure that all valves are closed.
- Make sure that the seal (between the pressure regulator and the gas container) is in place and is in
good condition. Depending on the version / country, the seal may be located in the pressure regulator
connection, in the gas cylinder connection or in both connections. In case of doubt, please contact
your local gas dealer.
- Check the condition of the hose and regulator each time before using the burner. Do not use a hose
or regulator that is damaged or worn.
- Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the thread
is correct (there may be differences according to country).
- Install the hose failure safety device, if available.
- Connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator and to the appliance. The hose end connector and
the appliance connector have left-handed threads.
- Tighten the connections with suitably sized open-ended wrenches (M 17, 18, 19, 30). Do not exert
excessive force to prevent over-tightening or damaging the threads.
- Open the cylinder valve. Ensure that all the connections are tight. Use a leakage detection spray or
soapy water for this purpose. The connections may have to be re-tightened.
- Do not use the device if you suspect that there is a leak in the system.
- Close the cylinder valve after performing the leakage test.
LIGHTING AND ADJUSTING THE BURNER
Proceed as follows to ignite the burner and to adjust the flame:
- Open the cylinder valve first, then open the appliance's adjustment valve. Follow the indicated direction
of rotation (+: anti-clockwise. -: clockwise).
- In case of small burners and freshly filled cylinders in particular, wait for a short duration so that the
trapped air may escape.
- Model 030954E, 030957E, 030958E, 030961E: Ignite the flame at the lower edge of the burner
connection (using a gas lighter).
- Model 030955E: Press the Piezo ignition (several times if necessary).
- Open the gas valve further at the handle. The flame should not split at the burner edge forcing the output
to fall below the required temperature.
- The economy flame (030954E, 030955E, 030957E, 030958E) or the preset flame (030961E) is maintained
without pulling the gas lever. On pulling the gas lever a full flame is produced according to the preset
flame pattern setting (030954E, 030955E, 030957E, 030958E) or the maximum flame is produced
(030961E).
- Release the gas lever during short breaks.
- Place the burner only on the burner stand provided. Burners without stands (030961E) may be put down
only in fully cooled state.
- Avoid twisting and stessing the hose.
FINISHING WORK - EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME
- After finishing work first shut the gas cylinder valve.
- Continue to use the burner and do not put it down it until any gas remaining in the hose has been
consumed, and the flame is extinguished.
- Close the gas regulating knob after extinguishing the flame.
- Allow the appliance cool down, as some components may become very hot even after a short period
of operation.
- The appliance must be allowed to cool down completely before dismantling and storage!
