SAFIRE 3200B AND 3800A FUEL OIL HEATER
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
You have selected the new generation
SAFIRE
oil heater as your heating solution.
Although our goal is to take into account all problems arising from normal installation during designing the
product, it is important that persons using this product familiarise themselves with these instructions.
Correct installation and use ensure that the heater works flawlessly for many years to come.
1.
INSTALLATION
1.2
PLACEMENT
Place the heater so that warm air circulates in the best possible way in the heated space.
Flue gases can be led to a chimney or directly out through the wall.
The heater should preferably be connected directly to the battery with a dedicated power
cable.
The tank and pump should be placed under the heater. It is advisable to place them outside
the heated space.
There should be 70-100 mm clearance behind and on the sides of the heater in order to help
keep its environment clean and free from foreign objects.
There must be at least one metre of clearance above the heater.

DUCT INSTALLATION
1.
Drill a suitably sized hole for the flue gas pipe to the chimney. Note that the flue gas pipe is not
laterally in the centre of the heater.
2. Seal the flue gas pipe into place with heat-resistant material (e.g. mineral wool or mortar). The flue
gas pipe must lead to the top of the chimney, and it should preferably be insulated with vermiculite.
This will avoid the condensation of the flue gas in the cold chimney, as well as failures and weathering
of the chimney resulting from the condensation.
3. Install a piece of thermal insulation cut to a suitable length.
4. Mount the heater and tighten the flue gas pipe and a potential air intake pipe with their fasteners.
5. The combustion air can be led to the heater e.g. from under the floor. In this case, the air
intake must
be protected so that it cannot be clogged (snow, leaves, mice, birds, mosquitoes etc.). The intake pipe
must be insulated indoors in order to prevent condensation on the surface of the pipe.

When using a chimney, the combustion air can be
taken from the outside or inside, because there is no
danger of flue gas returning to the inside air due to the
wind pressure, even in case of a power outage.
As the combustion air is taken from the heated space,
the heater functions as a ventilation unit as well, which
reduces the amount of moisture.
It is preferable that the tank is placed outside the
heated space. However, the tank and the pump must
be placed under the bottom of the heater. The lifting
height must be under 2 metres.
If the fuel line is mounted inside the structures or
outside the building, it must be protected with e.g.
electric installation pipe or metal pipe.
A longer fuel line can be used, but the maximum length
between the pump and the fuel tank is 6 metres.
