Safety instructions

Above all: always ensure there is adequate ventilation. The heater uses oxygen.
If this is not supplied in sufficient measure, it will produce carbon monoxide.
Inadequate ventilation can therefore cause carbon monoxide poisoning and this can
lead to serious illness or death. Always ensure that the heater and the working area
are supplied with continual fresh air from outdoors. Make sure there are two 2,800
cm² (so 70 x 40 cm) openings to the outside for every 100,000 Btu/hour: one low
opening (close to the ground) and one high opening (near the ceiling).
Fireball 22T: 0.7 x 2800 = 1960 cm² so: 2 openings of 40 x 50 cm.
Fireball 37T: 1.26 x 2800 = 3528 cm² so: 2 openings of 40 x 90 cm.
The first signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are flu–like symptoms: headaches,
dizziness and nausea. If you are aware of these symptoms, your heater may not be
working correctly or there is inadequate ventilation. You must ensure that fresh air is
provided immediately! Have the heater checked and/or ensure that there is adequate
ventilation. One person may be more sensitive to carbon monoxide than another.
Pregnant women, people with heart or lung problems or anaemia, the elderly and
people under the influence of alcohol are at an increased risk. Never use the heater
in living-, work- or sleeping areas!
Know you heater: ensure that you (and any other heater users) understand the
instruction booklet and the labels on the heater. This will ensure you are aware of
where it can be used, its limitations and any potential hazards.
Never use the heater in a dangerous environment: not outdoors, where it is
exposed to all weather conditions, or in damp/wet/dusty locations. Do not use in
places where flammable liquids, gases, substances or other flammable items can be
found: this may pose an explosion risk! Always ensure there is sufficient safe space
around the heater.
Keep children and inexperienced persons out of the vicinity of the workplace:
all visitors must be kept at a safe distance from the heater.
Prevent unexpected starting: check that the switch is OFF before you insert the
plug into the socket.
Stay alert: always be aware of what you are doing and use your common sense. Do
not use or operate the heater if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs,
or medicines that impact upon your response times.
Make sure that you remove the plug from the socket: always remove the plug
when the heater is not being used, before you carry out maintenance or replenish
fuel.
Store the heater safely when it is not in use: keep it in a dry, locked cupboard, out
of the reach of children. Empty the fuel.
Use the heater for its intended purpose only. Do not make any changes or
connect anything to it. If you are not sure of whether the heater can be used, contact
your supplier or the importer.
