Before using the space heater, please read carefully all the instructions for use described below and follow the
indications 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 kept carefully and passed on
with the unit in the event of a change of ownership.
DESCRIPTION
Space heaters have been designed for use in small to medium-sized
rooms and buildings where a fixed or mobile heating system is required.
Heat is produced by combustion and the heat from the smoke is
transmitted to the fresh air through the metal walls of the combustion
chamber and the heat exchanger. The combustion chamber is of the
type where smoke circulates twice.
The air and smoke pass through separated ducts, both of which are
welded and sealed. When, after combustion, the waste gases have
cooled, they are expelled through a duct which must be connected to a
chimney or chimney flue. The chimney or chimney flue must be big
enough to guarantee that the smoke is expelled efficiently.
The air which is used in combustion is aspirated directly from the
room or building which is being heated. It is therefore of utmost
importance that the room or building be properly ventilated so that
enough fresh air is circulating at all times.
The air heads can be replaced by heads of the following types:
•a head with two or four openings, all of which must be kept open.
•a head of the "plenum" type with four lateral openings and adjustable
fins which send the hot air in the desired direction(Fig.1).
Warning
During use, two of the four sides must be left open so
asto avoid overheating the combustion chamber.
Heaters can operate with burners that are fuelled by heating oil,
methane (G20) or L.P.G. (butane G3O and propane G31) of the ON-
OFF type.
Warning
Only the burners which are chosen and supplied by the
manufacturer can be used. If another type of burner is
used
the

regulations.
There are three safety devices which are activated in case of serious
malfunction. The Burner Control Device, which is mounted on the burner
and has a restart button, automatically stops the burner if the flame
goes out. The Overheat Thermostat, L2, of the manual restart type, is
activated if the temperature of the combustion chamber rises above the
set maximum limit; the warning light (9) lights up and the heater stops
working. The Thermal Relay, RM, is activated if the fan motor starts to
use more electrical current than the maximum permitted limit; the
warning light (10) lights up and the heater stops working.
If any of these safety devices are activated you should check carefully
what the problem actually is before pressing the restart button and
starting the heater off again ("OBSERVED FAULTS, CAUSES AND
REMEDIES").
Overheat safety thermostat, L1, shuts down the heater if air flow is
not sufficient to cool off combustion chamber: the heater will restart

automatically as soon as the heater has cooled down enough (the lamp
(9) lights up and then it cuts down).
GENERAL ADVICES
The space heater must be installed, set up and used in accordance
with existing laws.
Here are a few general guidelines which should be followed:
• Follow the instructions in this booklet very carefully;
• Don't install the heater in places where there may be a risk of fire
or explosion;
• Inflammable material should be kept at a safe distance from the
heater (Minimum 3 meters);
• All fire prevention regulations must be adhered to;
• The room or building which is being heated must be sufficiently
ventilated so that the heater has enough air to function properly;
•
The heater must be near a chimney or chimney flue and a
suitable electric switchboard;
•Don't let animals or children near the heater;
•
After use make sure the disconnecting switch is off.
When using any type of space heater it is obligatory:
•
not to exceed the maximum level of heat output of the furnace
("TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TABLE");
•
to make sure that there is adequate air circulation and air supply
to the heater and that 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. If the
airflow is not adequate, the combustion chamber will overheat
and the overheat safety thermostat L1 will turn the burner off and
on
continously

INSTALLATION
Warning
The following operations must be carried out by
qualified personnel only.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS
Every space heater is supplied along with the safety and control
devices which are indispensable to the correct functioning of the unit.
The electric switchboard, burner, the fan thermostat, overheat safety
with
CE
thermostat and the overheat thermostat with manual restart have
already been connected.
Warning
The mains supply to the heater must be earthed and
have a magneto-thermal switch with differential.
The power cord must be connected to a switch board
which has a disconnecting switch.
The following operations must now be carried out:
• Plug in the power cord having read the adhesive label which details
electricity supply characteristics (Table 1). Table 2 shows the
adhesive label on units which have three-phase supply;
• The burner must be connected to the fuel supply ("Burner
Instruction Manual");
• Connect the burner to the electricity supply with the burner plug;
