WARNING NOTES FOR THE USER

HOW TO USE THE BURNER SAFELY

FOREWORD

These warning notes are aimed at ensuring the safe use of the components of heating systems for civil use and the production of hot water.

They indicate how to act to avoid the essential safety of the components being compromised by incorrect or erroneous installation and by

improper or unreasonable use. The warning notes provided in this guide also seek to make the consumer more aware of safety problems in

general, using necessarily technical but easily understood language. The manufacturer is not liable contractually or extra contractually for any

damage caused by errors in installation and in use, or where there has been any failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

GENERAL WARNING NOTES

• The instruction booklet is an integral and essential part of the product and must be given to the user. Carefully read the warnings in the

booklet as they contain important information regarding safe installation, use and maintenance. Keep the booklet to hand for consultation

when needed.

• Equipment must be installed in accordance with current regulations, with the manufacturer’s instructions and by qualified technicians. By

the term ‘qualified technicians’ is meant persons that are competent in the field of heating components for civil use and for the production

of hot water and, in particular, assistance centres authorised by the manufacturer. Incorrect installation may cause damage or injury to

persons, animals or things. The manufacturer will not in such cases be liable.

• After removing all the packaging make sure the contents are complete and intact. If in doubt do not use the equipment and return it to the

supplier. The packaging materials (wooden crates, nails, staples, plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must not be left within reach of

children as they may be dangerous to them. They should also be collected and disposed on in suitably prepared places so that they do no

pollute the environment.

• Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, switch off the equipment at the mains supply, using the system’s switch or shut-off systems.
• If there is any fault or if the equipment is not working properly, de-activate the equipment and do not attempt to repair it or tamper with

it directly. In such case get in touch with only qualified technicians. Any product repairs must only be carried out by BALTUR authorised

assistance centres using only original spare parts. Failure to act as above may jeopardise the safety of the equipment. To ensure the effi

ciency and correct working of the equipment, it is essential to have periodic maintenance carried out by qualified technicians following the

manufacturer’s instructions.

• If the equipment is sold or transferred to another owner or if the owner moves and leaves the equipment, make sure that the booklet always

goes with the equipment so it can be consulted by the new owner and/or installer.

• For all equipment with optionals or kits (including electrical), only original accessories must be used.

BURNERS

• This equipment must be used only for its expressly stated use: applied to boilers, hot air boilers, ovens or other similar equipment and not

exposed to atmospheric agents. Any other use must be regarded as improper use and hence dangerous.

• The burner must be installed in a suitable room that has ventilation in accordance with current regulations and in any case sufficient to

ensure correct combustion

• Do not obstruct or reduce the size of the burner’ air intake grills or the ventilation openings for the room where a burner or a boiler is installed

or dangerous mixtures of toxic and explosive gases may form.

• Before connecting the burner check that the details on the plate correspond to those of the utility supplies (electricity, gas, light oil or other fuel).
• Do not touch hot parts of the burner. These, normally in the areas near to the flame and any fuel pre-heating system, become hot when the

equipment is working and stay hot for some time after the burner has stopped.

•  If it is decided not to use the burner any more, the following actions must be performed by qualified technicians:
  a) Switch off the electrical supply by disconnecting the power cable from the master switch.
  b) Cut off the fuel supply using the shut-off valve and remove the control wheels from their position.
  c) Render harmless any potentially dangerous parts.

Special warning notes

• Check that the person who carried out the installation of the burner fixed it securely to the heat generator so that the flame is generated

inside the combustion chamber of the generator itself.

• Before starting up the burner, and at least once a year, have qualified technicians perform the following operations:

a) Set the burner fuel capacity to the power required by the heat generator.
b) Adjust the combustion air flow to obtain combustion yield of at least the minimum set by current regulations.
c) Carry out a check on combustion to ensure the production of noxious or polluting unburnt gases does not exceed limits permitted by

current regulations.

d) Check the adjustment and safety devices are working properly.
e) Check the efficiency of the combustion products exhaust duct.
f) Check at the end of the adjustments that all the adjustment devices mechanical securing systems are properly tightened.
g) Make sure that the use and maintenance manual for the burner is in the boiler room.

• If the burner repeatedly stops in lock-out, do not keep trying to manually reset but call a qualified technicians to sort out the problem.
• The running and maintenance of the equipment must only be carried out by qualified technicians, in compliance with current regulations.
