We recommend not using the stove in a room with erywithuently of aerosols.
Connection of the apparatus
The apparatus can be connected to the gas bottle by the user without recourse to a fitter/technician. In order to do so, you should have at hand the required accessories.
Required accessories
- 1 gas bottle of butane or propane, bottled only by Official Distributors.
- 1 standardised specifications pressure regulator.
- 1 flexible gas tube Orbegozo Catalytic Gas Heater with at least 0.5m
- 2 screwed collar-clips for the flexible tube. In order to identify these elements, consult the specifications plaque and contact your gas distributor.
- Check the characteristics plate and contact your gas provider.
Assembly

- On opening the regulator, check that there are no gas leaks by applying soapy water with a paintbrush at the union of the flexible tube with the heater and with the regulator.
- Fit the back panel using the attached fixing lugs.
Gas Leaks
Before performing the test, extinguish all the flames and turn off all the electrical appliances. Do not
smoke while checking for gas leaks.
- Prepare a solution of water and soap using equal amounts of each.
- Using a brush, apply the solution to the joints between the cylinder, the regulator, and the
heater. - Open the valve carefully.
- If there are gas leaks, bubbles will be formed at the points corresponding to the leaks.
- Close the gas valve. If there is a leak, tighten all the joints and repeat the test. Should the leak
continue, contact the supplier immediately.
Ignition
- Open the gas valve.
- Press the power controller and turn it to Position 1 (Ignition/Low).

Once the flame is on, keep it pressed for a few seconds and then release it. - Then, if you want to increase Orbegozo Catalytic Gas Heater the power, press it slightly and turn it anticlockwise to the
desired level. Never use the heater at intermediate positions. - The ODS system will automatically turn off the appliance if the content of oxygen content goes down.
Before restarting the appliance, close the gas valve, ventilate the room, and then repeat the
process.
Maintainance
- If any anomaly is observed or spare parts are required, contact our Technical Service.
- The periodical maintenance Orbegozo Catalytic Gas Heater must be carried out exclusively by an authorised technician.
- We would recommend that you have a service carried out every two years by an authorized
technician. - Watch the pilot light, which should be stable.
- Check to see if it is necessary to change the flexible gas tube. If it proves necessary, obtain a new
Tube and connect it as explained in the Apparatus start-up. - It is recommended that the cleaning of the apparatus be carried out with the gas tap closed, the
The heater is completely cold and with non-abrasive products. - We recommend, when the heater is not in use, maintaining it in a dust-free atmosphere,
protected with a cloth or plastic cover in a dry place.

FAQs
Q: How does the catalytic heating system work?
The Orbegozo HCE 74 employs a catalytic panel that burns gas through surface combustion at a lower temperature than conventional flame heaters. This reduces pollutants and fuel waste by safely and effectively producing radiant heat without open flames.
Q: What type of gas does the Orbegozo HCE 74 use?
Always check national safety guidelines (usually 28-30 mbar pressure) and use a certified regulator and butane-compatible hose.
Q: How long does it take to heat a room?
Depending on insulation and airflow, the Orbegozo HCE 74 may efficiently heat spaces to 25–30 m² and produce significant warmth within minutes of burning.
Q: Does the heater need electricity?
No. The device uses an integrated piezoelectric igniting system and runs solely on petrol. Because of this, it is perfect for usage in areas without electrical outlets or during power outages.
Q: How do I control the temperature or heat level?
To choose between low, medium, and high heat settings, use the three-position control knob. Each setting adjusts the gas flow to the catalytic panel, allowing you to control both temperature and gas consumption.
Q: How long does a gas cylinder last?
Depending on the power setting and ventilation settings chosen, a typical 12.5-kilogramme butane cylinder may heat for 40–60 hours.
