5.2 Ventilasie

Adequate ventilation is critical for gas heaters to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases. Ensure your greenhouse has proper ventilation openings or systems to allow for fresh air intake and exhaust of combustion byproducts.

5.3 Gasaansluiting

1. Ensure the gas cylinder valve is closed before connecting.
2. Connect a suitable gas hose and pressure regulator (not included) to your gas cylinder (e.g., propane or butane). Ensure the regulator is compatible with the gas type and pressure requirements of the FY 45 heater.
3. Connect the other end of the gas hose to the inlet connection on the heater. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
4. Once connected, slowly open the gas cylinder valve.
5. Apply a soapy water solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Immediately close the gas valve and tighten the connection. Re-test until no bubbles are present.

4. Continue to hold the control knob down for approximately 10-20 seconds after the pilot flame ignites to allow the thermocouple to heat up and hold the pilot flame.
5. Release the control knob. If the pilot flame extinguishes, repeat steps 2-4.
6. Once the pilot flame is stable, turn the control knob to the desired heat setting. The main burner will ignite.
