SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. PLUG & MAINS POWER SUPPLY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets, and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimized by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated into the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply that is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
NOTE: 110-volt heaters are usually operated by connecting to a transformer or a generator. Check to ensure all supplied equipment is compatible with the rating of the heater.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuits and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating on right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs, or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin 13 amp plug or 110-volt plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (the UK only – see diagrams on right).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint, and that the restraint is tight.
1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Disconnect heater from mains electrical supply and gas cylinder before servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! NOT to be used for the heating of habitable areas of domestic premises: for use in public buildings, refer to national regulations.
WARNING! If the heater is used for prolonged periods at maximum power, ice may form on the propane cylinder. This is due to excessive evaporation. In such a case DO NOT use the heater to de-ice the cylinder.
WARNING! If the smell of gas is present, immediately isolate the gas cylinder and investigate the reason before re-connecting it.

INSTALLATION
Note: If a small gas cylinder is used, the heater may not operate at maximum efficiency. It is recommended to use two or more cylinders linked in parallel, to achieve maximum continuous efficiency (fig.1).
3.1. Connections
3.1.1. Check the heater and a gas cylinder to ensure that they are both in good condition. If not, stop and contact your supplier immediately.
3.1.2. Site the heater and gas cylinder in the location to be heated.
3.1.3. Connect the heater to an electrical supply outlet, ensuring that the machine is correctly earthed. See safety instructions.
3.1.4. Connect the gas supply hose to the pressure regulator, and connect the regulator to the gas cylinder (fig.3). Note: Left-hand threads.
Connect the other end of the gas supply hose to the heater’s gas inlet connector (fig.4). Ensure all connections are tight.
3.1.5. Gradually open the tap of the gas cylinder. Check hose and all fittings for gas leaks. Close gas tap if gas is present
WARNING! DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME! To check for leaks, we recommend the use of a foamy soap solution.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: To ensure continuous ventilation to the heater area, a ventilation opening must connect to the outside of the premises where the heater is to operate. The opening must be 100cm² for every kW and must be set at an equal distance from the upper and lower parts of the heater operating area.
4.1. Switching Heater On
4.1.1. Turn the On/Off switch to the ‘ON’ position.
4.1.2. Push in and turn the gas control knob (fig.2) counterclockwise to the LOW/* position, (HIGH/* on Models LP40 and LP40S). This will light the burner, if it doesn’t repeat once or twice until it lights, then hold the gas control knob in for a further 30 seconds before releasing.
4.1.3. If the burner stops when the gas control knob is released, leave the fan on, but wait for one minute before repeating the ignition sequence, again holding the gas control knob in for 30 seconds before releasing.
4.1.4. When the burner is lit, push in and turn the gas control knob counterclockwise to the desired setting (1/2/3), (for all models, except LP40 and LP40S which only have one setting).
4.2. Switching Heater Off
4.2.1. Turn the gas control knob (fig.2) fully clockwise to the O position. Allow the fan to continue running until the flame has shut down, then turn the On/Off switch to the ‘OFF’ position. Shut off the gas cylinder tap. Isolate the heater from the electrical supply.
4.2.2. When the heater is not in use for any length of time, disconnect it from the electrical and gas supply and store it in a safe, dry, childproof location.
WARNING! If the flame shuts down during operation, before repeating the ignition sequence, make sure that the fan is not jammed, and the air inlet and outlet are completely free of obstructions. If it is due to overheating, the cause of the problem must be determined and corrected before repeating the ignition procedure.
