Fitting the nozzle for the gas in use
FIREBOY may only be operated with the nozzle that corresponds to the gas type in use.
Type of gas
Nominal = maximal
gas input pressure
Inscription nozzle
Natural (methane) gas
20 mbar
N80
Butane/propane gas
50 mbar
P60
The P60 nozzle for butane/propane gas is fitted ex-factory. If necessary, replace the nozzle. Unscrew
the brass screw on the lower side of the device with a small coin. Turn over the device and allow the
nozzle to drop out. Insert a new nozzle and retighten the brass screw.
Adapters for the gas connection
When replacing the adapters, always close off the gas supply, remove the gas cartridge,
switch off the device and disconnect the mains pug.
•Insert the appropriate adapter in the brass gas adapter opening on
the rear side, make sure it audibly clicks into position.
•To remove the adapter, use a pointed tool to press the grey adapter
mechanism on the lower side inward and pull the adapter to the rear.
Connecting the gas cartridge
The P60 nozzle and the gas cartridge adapter must be installed. Gas cartridges may only
be used at 15 .C°53 – Only replace a gas cartridge, if the adapter is connected to the
device and closed.
Connect the cartridges as described in the enclosed instructions for the adapters.
52 g butane cartridge adapter, e.g. for CV360:
•Ensure that the flat side of the cap (a) points towards the device.
•Turn the milled knob fully clockwise in OFF direction.
•Press the gas cartridge into the cap until its audibly clicks into
position.
•Turn the milled knop fully counterclockwise in ON direction.

Connecting a tubing
A propane/butane gas cylinder must be equipped with a pressure regulator to not exceed
the maximum input pressure of 50 mbar.
•Connect the tubing from the central gas supply or from the gas
cylinder to the previously installed adapter and fix it with a clip, if
necessary.
Electricity supply and connecting a switch
•Insert the mains plug in the socket on the rear side of the FIREBOY
