IMPORTANT
Before using the space heater, carefully read all of the instructions and follow them precisely.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage to persons and/or property caused by improper use of
the equipment.
This instruction manual is an integral part of the equipment and must therefore be stored carefully and passed on
with the unit in the event of a change of ownership.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
This heater runs on heating oil #2 (diesel). It is fitted with a flue
to discharge any fumes through the chimney.
Always follow local ordinances and codes when using this
heater:
• Follow the instructions in this booklet very carefully;
• 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 2 m);
• Make sure fire fighting equipment is readily available;
• Ensure that the machine resting surface or ground is not made
of flammable material;
• Make sure sufficient fresh outside air is provided according to
the heater requirements;
• An opening of roughly one square foot is required for each
gallon (US) per hour that the heater consumes;
• the indirect combustion heater is installed near a chimney to
take away the fumes (see the paragraph “CHIMNEY LAY-OUT
RECOMMENDATION”) and connected to an electrical
switchboard;
• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front);
• In case of very low temperatures add kerosene to the heating
oil;
• 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;
• Unplug heater when not in use.
SAFETY DEVICES
The heater is fitted with an electronic device that controls the
flame and the maximum safe temperature by means of a
photocell, an overheat thermostat and an air pressure switch.
The electronic device controls start/stop times and trips the
safety in case of malfunctions. It has reset button (13) that can
assume different colours (Function Light) depending on the
function mode:
• off: heater is in stand-by, waiting for heating call ;
• steady green: heater functioning normally;
• steady red: heater in safety stop;
To restart heating after a safety stop, push reset button (13)
for 3 seconds.
Warning
NEVER do more than two restarts in a row:
uncombusted diesel fuel may accumulate in the
combustion chamber and suddenly flare up at the
next restart.
If the safety stop persists, you have to find and eliminate the
cause of the stop before you restart the heater.
Warning
See “TROUBLESHOOTING” to identify the cause of
the malfunction.
OPERATION
Before switching on the heater and, therefore, before plugging
it into the electrical power supply, check that the power supply
specifications are the same as those stated on the identification
plate.
Warning
To operate the machine, must install the air
dispersion cone (18) on the front of the machine as
shown in the figure above (“Operating diagram”).
Warning
• The power line must be grounded and fitted with
a residual current circuit breaker.
• The heater plug must be inserted into a socket
equipped with a mains switch.
The heater must be placed on a flat, stable, and level surface
in order to prevent it from overturning and/or diesel leaks from
the tank filler cap.
You can run the heater in manual by setting switch (14) to ON.
The heater can only work automatically when a control device,
such as a thermostat or a timer, is connected to the heater.
Connection to the heater is made by removing the socket
cover (15) and inserting the thermostat plug.
To start the machine you must:
• if connected to the thermostat, turn the switch to (ON + );
• if not connected to the thermostat, turn the switch to (ON);
When unit is started for the first time or is started after the oil
tank has been totally emptied, the diesel flow to the burner may
be impaired by air in the circuit. In this case the control box will
cut out the heater and it might be necessary to renew the starting
procedure once by depressing the reset button (13).
If the heater does not function, the first things to do are:
1. Check that the tank still contains some diesel;
2. Push reset button (13);
3. If the heater still does not function, see
TROUBLESHOOTING” to identify the cause of the
malfunction.
Warning
Never stop the machine by unplugging the
electrical plug: this could cause overheating.
STOPPING THE HEATER
Set main switch (14) on “0” position or turn thermostat or other
control device on lowest setting.
The flame goes out and the fan continues to work for
approximately 90 sec. cooling the combustion chamber.
