Adjusting the heater head angle

1. To set the head angle at the high position, manually push the heater head up to align the hole, then insert the slip pin.
2. To set the heater head angle at the low position, remove the slip pin & allow the heater head to rest in the low position. The slip pin does not need to be inserted.

Leak Test

Gas connections on the heater are leak tested at the factory before shipment. A complete gas leak test must also be performed after assembly before operating the heater due to possible damage occurring during transportation.

For Natural Gas Model

• The appliance and its shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures over 1/2 psi.
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

For NG/Propane Model

• Never leak test while smoking.
• The heater must be checked with a full gas cylinder (Propane model only)
• Ensure connection all 3 connections illustrated below are connected correctly & tight.
• Make sure the control knob is in the OFF position.
• Make a mild soapy water solution. The soapy solution can be applied with a spray bottle or a soft cloth.
• Turn on the gas supply at the gas cylinder.
• Apply the soapy water solution to the 4 connections illustrated below. For the Natural gas model, replace connections 1 and 2 with hose connections on either side of the regulator.
• If bubbles appear at any of the connections, there is a gas leak.
• Tighten any leaking fittings, and repeat the process described above.
• If soap bubbles still appear (gas is still leaking), turn off the gas supply at the cylinder, disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder or fixed gas supply hose from the natural gas supply outlet, and contact the store of purchase for assistance and advice.

FAQs

Q: Is this heater powered by gas or electricity?

Ans: Depending on the model, either natural gas (NG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can power the Tungsten Portable Heater. Make sure you connect your unit to the proper gas supply and confirm the fuel type before setting it up.

Q: How much area does it heat?

Ans: A single Tungsten portable heater can efficiently heat up to 215 square feet (20 m2) in the right circumstances.

Q: How does the heater generate warmth?

Ans: Instead of only warming the air, the unit harnesses radiant heat through a ceramic burner grid to warm people and objects directly. This guarantees comfort even in windy weather.

Q: Does the heater require assembly?

Ans: Indeed. It requires very little assembly right out of the box. Before using, always make sure there are no leaks in the gas connections.

Q: Can I move the heater while it’s running?

Ans: Moving a hot unit can result in injuries or strain on the gas line, despite its portability and smooth wheels.

Q: Is the unit safe to use around children or pets?

Ans: Use caution. Despite the heater’s tilt safety shutoff and flame failure protection, using it can cause the surface to get quite hot. Keep an eye on kids and dogs near the heater at all times.
