„ TURNING ON
Press the ON/OFF button to operate the heater. The ON
indicator will glow green. After approximately 20 seconds
the spark generator will be heard before the burner ignites
and the ON indicator glows red, indicating that the burner
is alight. Warm air can be felt coming from the louvres 15
seconds later.
If the heater does not ignite on initial use, this may be due to air remaining in the gas supply
line. The spark generator will only continue for 15 seconds. After this it will be necessary to
press the ON/OFF button OFF, then ON again.

continue to operate for several minutes after the burner has
