Using the Heater near Persons or Animals
The heater can be used in a well-ventilated room where the pollutant percentage does not
exceed the allowed levels.
Sufficient ventilation is guaranteed only when the minimum room volume, in m³, is 30 times
the nominal thermal power (in kW) of all the switched-on devices used in that room, and when
the ventilation happens through doors, windows or other openings which have a minimum total
volume, in m³, of 0.003 times the nominal thermal power (in kW) of all the switched-on
devices used in that room.
Do not use the heater to permanently heat stables or other animal housings.
11.
Using the Heater far from Persons and Animals
This heater may only be used for heating rooms if the necessary airflow needed for the burning
of the fuel can be guaranteed.
The necessary air volume is guaranteed when the minimum room volume, in m³, is 10 times
the nominal thermal power (in kW) of all the switched-on devices used in that room.
A normal airflow through doors and windows must be guaranteed.
