heater.
Connection to the heater is made by removing the socket cover
(15) and inserting the thermostat plug.
To start the machine you must:
• if connected to the thermostat, turn the switch to (ON + );
• if not connected to the thermostat, turn the switch to (ON);
Warning
At the end of the start cycle, the electronic control
device causes button (13) to flash briefly to confirm
completion of the heater start cycle.
When unit is started for the first time or is started after the oil tank
has been totally emptied, the diesel flow to the burner may be
impaired by air in the circuit. In this case the control box will cut out
the heater and it might be necessary to renew the starting procedure
once by depressing the reset button (13).
If the heater does not function, the first things to do are:
1. Check that the tank still contains some diesel;
2. Push reset button (13);
3. If the heater still does not function, see TROUBLESHOOTING"
to identify the cause of the malfunction.
Warning
Never stop the machine by unplugging the electrical
plug: this could cause overheating.
STOPPING THE HEATER
Set main switch (14) on "0" position or turn thermostat or other
control device on lowest setting.
The flame goes out and the fan continues to work for
approximately 90 sec. cooling the combustion chamber.
