IMPORTANT

Before using the space heater, carefully read all of the instructions and follow them scrupulously. 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.

DESCRIPTION

Space heaters are designed for non-domestic heating of medium

and large ventilated premises, for which a mobile heating system is

required in accordance with EN 1596:2008.

Warning

DO NOT USE TO HEAT HABITABLE AREAS OF

RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS.

REFER TO NATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR USE IN

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Space heaters can be run on propane gas (G31) or on L.P.G.

(butane G30 and propane G31) according to the different gas

categories indicated on Tab. I and shown on the heater identification

plate.

Space heaters are direct-combustion and forced convention units.

Air is heated by the thermal energy generated during combustion and

is then conveyed to the room to be heated along with the combustion

products: the room MUST be suitably ventilated to ensure adequate

air circulation.

Various safety devices trip in the event of serious malfunction:

• the thermocouple and the thermal gas valve trip to close the gas

flow if the flame is irregular or if it goes out;

• the overheating thermostat LI trips when the temperature of the

combustion chamber exceeds the safety limit;

In each of the cases described above, the space heater stops

working in lock-out condition.

Warning

You must always identify the cause of the “block” and

eliminate it before restarting the heater (see:

“TROUBLESHOOTING”).

GENERAL ADVICE

The heater must be installed, set up and used in accordance with

the applicable regulations and laws relating to the use of such

equipment.

Minimum distance from surrounding walls and/or ceiling: 2 m.

Warning

Do not use the heater on floors made with flammable

materials.

Warning

Use in basements or below ground level is hazardous

because of gas stagnation.

Make sure that:

• The instructions in this manual are carefully followed;

• The heater is not installed in an area where there is a high risk

of fire or explosions;

• No flammable materials are stored in the vicinity of the heater

(minimum distance: 3 m);

• There is no overheating of walls, or ceilings made of flammable

materials,

• All precautions have been taken to prevent fires;

• The premises in which the heater is installed are sufficiently

ventilated for the burner requirements; in particular, limits

regarding air quality in the room to be heated must conform to

applicable national or local laws or, in the absence of any

standards and/or indications, to the provisions of EN 1596:2008:

• minimum room volume must be measured with thermal

power/volume ratio equal to 100 W/m3. Room volume must

never be less than 100 m3;

• a minimum ventilation area of 25 cm2 per kW of thermal

power must be provided, the minimum being 250 cm2,

divided equally between the upper and lower part;

• Nothing is obstructing the aspiration and expulsion of air;

movement of air may be obstructed in various ways including

placing covers or other objects on the heater or positioning the

heater too near a wall or other large object;

• The generator is placed near a power switchboard having

specifications that conform to those declared;

• The unit is placed in a stable position;

• The hot air jet is directed towards the cylinder.

• The heater is regularly monitored during operation and checked

before being started;

• At the beginning of each work period, a check is made that the

fan moves freely before plugging the heater into the electrical

power supply;

• At the end of each work period, the mains switch is disengaged

and supply power cord removed, main gas stopcock is closed

and gas tube disengaged and sealed.

Warning

This unit may not be used by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensorial or mental

capacities or with limited experience and familiarity

unless they are under supervision or instructed on

how to use the unit by the person responsible for its

safety.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Warning

All of the operations described in this section must be

performed by professional and skilled personnel only.

POWER CONNECTIONS

Warning

The power line must be earthed and fitted with a

residual current circuit breaker.

The power cable must be connected to a panel fitted

with a cut-out.

Before plugging the heater into the electrical power supply, check

that the power supply specifications are the same as those stated on

the identification plate.

Warning

Do not connect any air distribution hose: this will

cause a severe fire hazard!

CONNECTION TO GAS CYLINDER

The heater must be connected to an appropriately sized gas

cylinder. A gas supply stopcock must be installed between the heater

and the cylinder.

Warning

All of the connections have left-hand threads, and

must therefore be tightened by turning anticlockwise.
