Warning
Risk of injury due to improper repair!
Never try to make any modifications or repairs on the
device.
Unauthorised modifications can lead to serious injuries
or death.
Have a certified specialist workshop perform the repair
work.
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The device does not start:
•
Check the power connection.
•
Check the power cable and mains plug for damages.
•
Check the on-site fusing.
Smoke and/or sparks are emitted during first use:
•
This is not a fault. These phenomena disappear after a
brief runtime.
Noise emission during ignition or cooling:
•
This is not a fault. The metal parts of the device expand
when heated and generate noise.
Sparks and/or flame may be issued from the device during
ignition:
•
This is not a fault. Air might have accumulated in the lines.
Keep a safety distance to the device!
The flame in the combustion chamber does not ignite:
•
Check the filling level of the tank. Refill fuel if the tank is
empty (see chapter Maintenance).
•
Check the fuel filter in the fuel pump for dirt. If it is dirty,
please contact the customer service.
•
Check the fuel for contaminations, e.g. dirt or water. If
required, drain the fuel completely and fill in new fuel (see
chapter Maintenance).
•
Safety shutdown: if the flame dies during operation, the
electronics and the oil pump will be switched off.
Investigate the cause on the basis of the following criteria:
–
For qualified personnel only!
Check the ignition: The distance between the two
ignition electrodes should be 4 to 5 mm.
The flame goes out during combustion:
•
Make sure the air supply is unobstructed. If required, clean
the air intake opening.
•
Check the filling level of the tank. Refill with fuel if the tank
is empty (see chapter Operation).
•
Check the fuel filter in the fuel pump for dirt. If it is dirty,
please contact the customer service.
•
Check the fuel for contaminations and replace it if
required.
•
Power failure: In the event of a power failure the ignition is
extinguished, the device switches off immediately. After a
power failure the device will not restart automatically, it
has to be started via the on/off switch.
There is a fuel leak:
•
Check whether too much fuel was filled in. Drain the fuel if
necessary, see chapter Draining the tank.
•
Check the drain screw for tight fit and retighten it if
necessary.
•
Check the sealing at the drain screw and replace it if
damaged.
•
Check the fuel pump for leaks. If there are doubts about
the proper condition of the fuel pump, please contact the
customer service.
The device emits smoke or dust:
•
Check the mains voltage.
•
Check the fuel for contaminations and replace it if
required.
•
Check the tank for contaminations and drain it if required
(see chapter Maintenance). Refill with clean fuel.
The flame emerges from the air outlet:
•
Check the mains voltage.
•
Check the fuel for contaminations and replace it if
required.
•
Check the tank for contaminations and drain it if required
(see chapter Maintenance). Refill with clean fuel.
Note
