DESCRIPTION

This series of heaters is particularly suited to heating medium to large-sized rooms or areas. Thanks to a heat exchanger, indirect heaters (PIC. 1) separate combustion gases from the hot air released into the environment. This way it is possible to introduce a flow of clean hot air in the area that needs to be heated up and direct exhaust fumes outside.
These heaters have been designed in line with the most recent safety, operating and duration criteria. The safety devices ensure the machine always operates correctly.

WARNING: The packaging material is not a toy. Keep the plastic bag out of the reach of children; danger of suffocation!

• Remove all packaging materials used to wrap and deliver the heater and dispose them in compliance with current regulations.
• If the heater is placed on a moving platform, make sure it is moved gently.
• Check for any damage that might have happened during transport. If the heater looks damaged, immediately inform the dealer from which it was purchased.

ASSEMBLY

These heaters are fitted with wheels, a handle and a chimney depending on the model (PIC. 2). These parts, which come with the relative nuts and bolts, are in the heater’s packaging.

FUEL

WARNING: The heater only works with DIESEL or KEROSENE.

In order to avoid explosions or any fire hazards, use only diesel or kerosene fuel.
Never use petrol, naphtha, paint solvents, alco-hol or any other highly inflammable fuels. Non-toxic, anti-freeze additives can be used in case of very low temperatures.
It is advisable to use winter diesel below 5°C.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

• A. Combustion chamber and burner,
• B. Fan,
• C. Motor,
• D. Pump,
• E. Tank,
• F. Chimney.

The pump draws fuel from the tank and brings it to the operating pressure. The fuel is brought to the nozzle that sprays it into the combustion chamber. The combustion is carried out with a mix of air and fuel and the flow of air generated is pushed outside via the rotation of the fan. In direct models combustion products flow together with heated air. In indirect models combustion products are directed outside through the chimney. A series of sensors connected to an electronic control board constantly keep the correct operation of the heater monitored and stops the cycle in the event of anomalies.

OPERATION

WARNING: Carefully read the “SAFETY INFORMATION” before switching on the heater.

•  SWITCHING ON THE HEATER:
• Follow all the safety instructions.
•  Check if there is any fuel in the tank.
• Close the tank cap (FIG. 3).
• Connect the power plug to the mains (PIC. 4) (SEE VOLTAGE IN “TECHNICAL DATA TABLE”).
• Set the “ON/OFF” switch to “FLAME” (A PIC. 5). The heater should turn on within a few seconds. If the heater does not start, refer to paragraph “12. “TROUBLESHOOTING”.
• Maximum power is achieved by setting the power switch to “DOUBLE FLAME” (B PIC. 5).
• The heater can be used in ventilation mode, which is activated by setting the ON/OFF switch to “FAN” (A PIC. 5).
• For models with a room thermostat, check the set temperature (PIC. 6).
