WARNING NOTES FOR THE USER - HOW
TO USE THE BURNER SAFELY
FOREWORD
These warning notes are aimed at ensuring the safe use of the components
of heating systems for civil use and the production of hot water for sanitary
use. They indicate how to act to avoid the essential safety of the components
being compromised by incorrect or erroneous installation and by improper
or unreasonable use. The warning notes provided in this guide also seek
to make the consumer more aware of safety problems in general, using
necessarily technical but easily understood language. The manufacturer
is not liable contractually or extra contractually for any damage caused by
errors in installation and in use, or where there has been any failure to follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
GENERAL WARNING NOTES
• The instruction booklet is an integral and essential part of the product and
must be given to the user. Carefully read the warnings in the booklet as
they contain important information regarding safe installation, use and
maintenance. Keep the booklet to hand for consultation when needed.
• Equipment must be installed in accordance with current regulations, with
the manufacturer's instructions and by qualified technicians. By the term
'qualified technicians' is meant persons that are competent in the field
of heating components for civil use and for the production of hot water
and, in particular, assistance centres authorised by the manufacturer. An
incorrect installation can cause injury or damage to persons, animals and
objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
• After removing the packaging check that there are no broken or missing
parts. If in doubt do not use the equipment and return it to the supplier.
The packaging materials (wooden crates, nails, staples, plastic bags,
expanded polystyrene, etc.) must not be left within reach of children
as they may be dangerous to them. They should also be collected and
disposed on in suitably prepared places so that they do no pollute the
environment.
• Handling must be carried out by qualified personnel. Use suitable
protective equipment.
• Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the
equipment at the mains supply, using the system's switch and/or shut-off
systems.
• If there is any fault and/or if the equipment is not working properly, de-
activate the equipment and do not attempt to repair it or tamper with it
directly. Contact only qualified personnel. Any product repairs must only be
carried out by BALTUR authorised assistance centres using only original
spare parts. Failure to observe the above instructions can endanger the
safety of the system. To ensure the efficiency and correct working of the
equipment, it is essential to have periodic maintenance carried out by
qualified technicians following the manufacturer's instructions.
• If the equipment is sold or transferred to another owner or if the owner
moves and leaves the equipment, make sure that the booklet always
goes with the equipment so it can be consulted by the new owner and/
or installer.
• For all equipment with optionals or kits (including electrical ones), only
original accessories must be used.
BURNERS
• This equipment must be used only for its expressly stated use: applied to
boilers, hot air boilers, ovens or other similar equipment and not exposed
to atmospheric agents. Any other use is to be considered improper and
therefore dangerous.
• The burner must be installed in a suitable room that has ventilation in
accordance with current regulations and in any case sufficient to ensure
correct combustion.
• Do not obstruct or reduce the size of the burner's air intake grills, and the
ventilation openings of the room where a burner or a boiler is installed,
as dangerous mixtures of toxic and explosive gases may form.
• Before connecting the burner check that the details on the plate
correspond to those of the utility supplies (electricity, gas, light oil or other
fuel).
• Do not touch hot parts of the burner. These are normally located in the
areas near to the flame and any fuel pre-heating system and become
hot when the equipment is working and stay hot for some time after the
burner has stopped.
• If it is decided not to use the burner any more, the following procedures
must be performed by qualified technicians:
a) Switch off the electrical supply by disconnecting the power cable from
the main switch.
b ) C u t o f f t h e f u e l s u p p l y u s i n g t h e s h u t - o f f v a l v e
a n d r e m o v e t h e c o n t r o l w h e e l s f r o m t h e i r p o s i t i o n .
c) Render harmless any potentially dangerous parts.
Special warning notes
• Check that the person who carried out the installation of the burner fixed
it securely to the heat generator so that the flame is generated inside the
combustion chamber of the generator itself.
• Before starting up the burner, and at least once a year, have qualified
technicians perform the following procedures:
a) Set the burner fuel capacity to the power required by the heat generator.
b) Adjust the combustion air flow to obtain a combustion yield of at least
the minimum set by current regulations.
c) Carry out a check on combustion to ensure the production of noxious
or polluting unburnt gases does not exceed limits permitted by current
regulations.
d) Check the adjustment and safety devices are working properly.
e) Check the efficiency of the combustion products exhaust duct.
f) At the end of the adjustment procedures, check that all the locking
devices of mechanical securing systems are properly tightened.
g) Make sure that the use and maintenance manual of the burner is in
the boiler room.
• If the burner repeatedly stops in lock-out, do not keep trying to manually
reset it but call a qualified technician to solve the unexpected problem.
• The running and maintenance of the equipment must only be carried out
by qualified technicians, in compliance with current regulations.
