Appliance-specific safety instructions
WARNINGS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully the complete
Operating Instructions before assembling, handling
and maintaining this heating unit. Any unauthorised
use of this heating unit may result in serious injuries
or death as a result of burn, fire, explosion, electric
shock and carbon monoxide poisoning.
! CAUTION: Carbon monoxide poisoning may be fatal!
Carbon monoxide poisoning: Early symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning are similar to those experienced at flu,
i.e. headache, giddiness and/or indisposition. If such
symptoms are experienced, it may be possible your
heating body is not working properly. Get out
immediately! Have your heating unit inspected. Some
persons are more sensitive to carbon monoxide than other
ones, e.g. pregnant women, persons with cardiac or
pulmonary diseases or anaemia, persons under the
influence of alcohol and persons at heights. Make sure you
have read all the maintenance instructions and have
understood them. Keep these Operating Instructions for
future reference. They are your guide for safe and
professional handling of this heating unit.
● Use only oil to prevent fire and risk of explosion. Petrol,
crude oil, paint thinners, alcohol and other highly
flammable fuels must not be used in any case.

a)
Staff providing refuelling must be trained and fully
familiarised with the manufacturer's instructions and
applicable directives for safe refuelling of heating
units.
b)
Only oil may be used for refuelling.
c)
Any flame including the pilot flame must be blown out

heating units, burners, welders and similar
inflammable sources (exception being a fuel tank
integrated in the heating unit).
g)
If applicable, fuel storage should only be limited to
spaces where the flooring design prevents leaked
fuel accumulation and the fuel cannot catch fire as a
result of deeply stored inflammable sources.
h)
Fuel must be stored in accordance with the local
official regulations.
