IMPORTANT
Before using the heater, read and understand all
instructions and follow them carefully. The manufacturer
is not responsible for damages to goods or persons due
to improper use of units.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The heater described in this manual is a portable oil-fueled
infrared heat generator running on heating oil.
Its easy handling and large fuel tank allow it to be used locally and
temporarily with complete stand-alone operation. The area to be
heated is therefore hit by an even and uniform flow of heat, as can be
seen by the shape of the irradiation cone (18), without air movement.
The unit is a direct combustion hot generator that works by
sending both hot air and combustion products in the room you wish
to heat: all the necessary precautions must therefore be taken to
guarantee a sufficient exchange of air.
Always follow local ordinances and codes when using this heater:
•Read and follow this owner’s manual before using the heater;
•THE INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT SHALL BE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. Also, as a
recommended installation practice reference should be made to
the current issue of CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil Burning
Equipment in Canada and NFPA 31 Standard for the Installation
of Oil-Burning Equipment In the USA;
•Use only in places free of flammable vapours or high dust
content;
•Never use heater in immediate proximity of flammable materials
(the minimum distance must be 10 feet);
•Make sure fire fighting equipment is readily available;
•Make sure sufficient fresh outside air is provided according to
the heater requirements. Direct combustion heaters should only
be used in well vented areas in order to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning;
•A rough estimate of opening required for each gallon (US) of
capacity is three square foot at heater level, for direct-fired
heaters;
•The heater is installed and connected to an electrical
switchboard;
•Ensure that the machine resting surface or ground is not made
of flammable material;
•Minimum clearances from combustible material must be:
30” from side and rear (air inlet) of heater
80” from ceiling
40” on air outlet of heater.
•Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front);
•In case of very low temperatures add kerosene to the heating
oil;
•Connect the power cord to the mains and wait 15 min at least
be fore starting heater, to allow pre-heated filter warming
heating oil inside the filter;
•Make sure heater is always under surveillance and keep
children and animals away from it;
•Before starting the heater always check free rotation of
ventilator;
•Heater is not ductable.
•Unplug heater when not in use.
