2.1 Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinder Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.
The gas cylinders should always be placed in a vertical position � during use and transport.
Always store the gas cylinder in an easily accessible place to allow its immediate turn-off.
Change the gas cylinder in a amply ventilated area, away from any ignition source (candle, cigarettes, other flame producing appliances).
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes of the cylinder housing. In the event of gas leakage, the appliance shall not be used or if alight, the gas supply shall be shut off and the
appliance shall be investigated and rectified before it is used again. During the installation process do not allow an open flame or any ignited object to reach the gas cylinder.
The gas cylinder should be in a distance not shorter than 1,5 metres away from the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert fireplace.
Leaks should be found with the use of a cleaning liquid and water. If bubbles form on the surface that means that a there's an existing leak.
Always use a pressure regulator between the gas cylinder and the device. Replace the pressure regulator every 5 years.
Use only approved and certified gas connection linkage. Replace the linkage every 2 years.
Check the flexible hose at least once per month and each time the cylinder is changed. If it shows signs of cracking, splitting or other deterioration it shall be exchanged for new hose of the same length and of the equivalent quality.
Do not connect the gas cylinder directly to the appliance without regulator. The tubing or the flexible hose must be changed within the prescribed intervals. Use only the type of gas and the type of cylinder specified in these instructions
The elastic linkage connecting gas to the fireplace is to be led away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Refrain from bends and twists of the elastic connection on its full length.
Remember that the LPG bottle should be stored in a well-ventilated place. LPG gas is heavier than air and its accumulation near the surface may generate an explosive mixture.
The housing in which the LPG bottle is (optionally) placed needs to have an appropriate ventilation. The housing needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the housing).

6. TESTING
WARNING!!! NEVER TURN ON THE DEVICE IF THE CHARACTERISTIC SMELL OF GAS IS PERCEPTIBLE. If you smell gas during the operation of the fireplace turn off the device immediately and cut off the gas supply from the gas cylinder by shutting its valve.
6.1 Checking for gas leaks Check if all connections are airtight. To do that apply all connections with soapy water (or water with another foamy substance) or with a
professional spray for leak detection. If air-bubbles are present that means the connection has a leak. Remove the leaks in the identified spaces. Check for leaks once again. After the inspection dry the inspected connections. The device may only be used again after all leaks are removed. If the problem happens again please contact the dealer.
6.2 Checking the flame appearance Burn the GaLiO Fire Pit Insert on max flame height and check the appearance of the flame. The flame should be linear and evenly placed on the whole length of the main burner. If visible gaps are present or there are substantial differences in flame height turn off the fireplace and after
the device is cooled adjust the placement of decorative stones in such a way for them to be evenly placed on the whole surface of the main burner. WARNING!!! Remember not to cover the cover, which houses the ignition and the pilot flame, with stones! Turn on the fireplace and check the appearance of the flame once again.

7. MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
We recommend cleaning the pilot flame and the main burner unit before the device is started again after its been removed from storage during the winter period.
7.1 Testing and cleaning Please check and clean if necessary:
The main burner - if necessary, remove broken parts of stones and the existing dust. Pilot burner and thermo-couple (if necessary, remove the existing sediment). In the event of visible damage
contact your dealer. Igniter - gap between igniter and pilot flame should not be bigger than 5 mm. Glass screens � check for dirt smudges or possible scratches or cracks. If cracks are present replace the glass
screen for a new one. To conduct this contact your dealer. Gas linkage and pressure regulator (in case their expiry date is invalid replace these ancillaries for new ones). If you encountered problems with the regulator, gas linkage, burner or regulation valves do not try to fix these
parts. Contact a sales person, an authorised service or an importer in order to acquire spare parts. To ensure the device is working efficiently use only original spare parts.
7.2 Glass cleaning (if optionally installed) Most of the existing types of smudges may be wiped with a dry cloth. In case of more substantial smudge you may use liquids normally applied to ceramic tiles or windows. Always dry the glass screen to avoid damp patches which could irreversibly embed into the glass. Warning!!! Avoid leaving fingerprints on the glass. They will be embedded into the glass and you will not be able to clean them.
