Gas Heater

The other day we bought a gas heater. The brand is Taster, but it look similar to all others I have seen with 3 different levels. We bought it used, even if it is only one season old and used very little.

My problem is I cant find out how to shut it off,:confused: there is no manual to it. I assume all works the same so perhaps someone who has a similar one can advice.

Our is the same. You have to turn off the gas completely, there's a switch (or something like that) on the regulator.It's always better to do it because you never know with gas.

I think you will find that it is normal for the only way to switch them off is by turning of the gas bottle. Both of ours work that way. I have never heard of one that has a switch on the fire to turn it off.

sorry, thought we were still talking about gas water heaters - different thread! Agree with Veronica, I have only ever had the on/off lever on the regulator on the several different types of room heaters I have had, including gas catalytic.

I think this is a means of forcing safety. All of this type of heater that I have ever seen turn off this way.
