1.4 General instructions
Warning
• Make sure that the heater is
properly installed, adjusted and
maintained.
• For all service and adjustments
contact qualified, competent and
authorized persons.
• Do not make any modifications to
the heater without the prior written
consent of the manufacturer.
• Make sure to always follow the local
standards and guidelines as well as
the local requirements, concerning
environmental quality, fuel, fire and
electrical safety.
• Read this manual carefully before
using the heater.
• Keep this document with the heater.
• Follow the described procedures.
• Never lean against the heater.
Warning
• Do not create a fire hazard by
storing or using highly inflammable
materials near the heater. Keep
these materials at adequate
distance from the heater:
- top and sides 6 inch (150 mm)
- front 35 inch (890 mm)
- back and flue 18 inch (460 mm)
• Make sure there is enough air for
proper combustion.
• Make sure that the convector heater
has cooled down sufficiently and
that the plug has been removed
from the socket before carrying out
any repair or maintenance work.
1.5 Additional safety
Warning
• Connect the heater only to a 120 V
/ 60 Hz power supply.
• Replace fuses only with identical
spares.
• The heater must be grounded.

2.1
These stationary biodiesel or vegetable oil fired
heaters are indirect fired heaters with thermal
protection, heat exchanger, combustion air fan,
flue stack connection with T-piece and draught
regulator and hot air fan.
The Bio Energy 2 is equipped with a connection
for a room thermostat
The hot air heaters have been tested at sea level
at a temperature of 68 °F.
2.2
The stationary biodiesel or vegetable oil fired
heater is equipped with three electric motors.
The first electric motor drives a fuel pump, which
extracts fuel from the fuel tank.
The second electric motor drives the combustion
air ventilator, which blows the combustion air into
the combustion chamber.
The third electic motor drives the hot air fan,
which blows the surrounding air around the
combustion chamber and heat exchanger. The
hot air is blown into the space to be heated.
Biodiesel or vegetable oil is poured manually on a
burner dish, which is ignited with a burning paper
pellet. As soon as the burner dish is at the right
temperature, the pump thermostat activates the
fuel pump; the control light flashes on. The fuel
pump pumps the biodiesel or vegetable oil onto
the burner dish. The biodiesel or vegetable oil
evaporates due to the temperature of the burner
dish. The gas vapour burns. A thermostat
switches on the hot air fan motor to blow hot air
into the space to be heated.
The pump thermostat switches off the fuel pump
when a failure causes the heater to overheat.
