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 side 6 inch (150 mm)
- front and sides 36 inch (900
mm)
- back and flue 18 inch (450 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.
Bio Energy - US

2.1
These stationary biodiesel or vegetable oil
heaters are indirect fired heaters with thermal
protection and connections for a flue with rain cap
and optional room thermostat.
The Bio Energy 1 is equipped with a hot air fan.
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
pumps up the fuel from the fuel tank.
The second electric motor drives the combustion
air fan, which blows the combustion air into the
combustion chamber.
The third electric motor drives the hot air fan,
which extracts the hot air around the combustion
chamber. 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.
The maximum thermostat switches off the fuel
pump when a failure causes the heater to
overheat.
The fuel pump is switched off when the heater is
switched off.
