User Manual for Eurom HKG 10-BE Gas Heater

Quick guide from the manual

The Eurom HKG 10-BE is a direct-combustion gas heater designed for industrial use. Important: This heater is not intended for household use, living, working, or sleeping areas, nor for use in campers, caravans, or boats. Always ensure sufficient ventilation (minimum 300 cm² opening) and keep flammable materials at least 2.5 meters away (3 meters from the front).

Description

The HKG 10-BE features a motor-driven ventilator for air circulation and oxygen supply. It includes safety mechanisms such as flame security (shuts off gas if flame goes out), overheating protection, and tipping security (shuts off gas if the unit tips over).

Installation and Gas Connection

Before use, ensure the heater is placed on a level, stable, and non-flammable surface. The gas supply hose is factory-mounted to the pressure regulator. When connecting to the gas bottle:

• Ensure the gas bottle is full and contains propane or butane.
• Connect the pressure regulator to the gas bottle, tightening the nut firmly by hand.
• Connect the gas supply hose to the heater (note: left-hand thread).
• Always perform a gas leakage test before ignition.

Gas Leakage Test

A leak test must be performed during installation, after changing a gas bottle, and after storage. Never use fire to check for leaks.

1. Prepare a soap solution (one part liquid soap, one part water).
2. Apply the solution to all gas connections using a spray bottle, brush, or cloth.
3. Open the gas supply. If bubbles form, a leak is present.
4. If a leak is found, close the gas supply, tighten the connection, and re-test. If bubbles persist, contact your supplier.

Operation

To ignite the heater:

1. Open the gas tap on the gas bottle.
2. Plug the heater into a grounded 220-240V socket and set the power switch to I (ON).
3. Wait for the ventilator to run steadily.
4. Press and hold the gas valve button for 10 seconds.
5. While holding the valve, press the ignition button repeatedly until the gas ignites.
6. Continue holding the gas valve button for another 15 seconds after ignition, then release.

To switch off: Close the gas tap on the bottle, wait for the flame to extinguish, then set the power switch to O (OFF) and unplug the unit.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Always switch off, unplug, and allow the heater to cool before maintenance. Keep the grills and ventilator blades clean by removing dust regularly. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaners. The heater should be inspected by a qualified person at least once a year.
