Installation
Position the device on a flat, non-flammable surface.
Direct-fired heaters are intended for use in open outdoor areas or in well-
ventilated indoor spaces. For indoor use, provide permanent ventilation of at
least 25 cm²/kW, equally distributed between floor and high level, with a
minimum of 250 cm².
Install the device in a normal upright position.
Do not place the device near walls, in corners or under low ceilings. Do not
place the device below a socket outlet. Do not place the device on moving
vehicles or where it can tip over.
Keep the device away from flammable, combustible, explosive or corrosive
materials. Do not place the device in the immediate surroundings of a bath,
shower or swimming pool. Keep the device away from curtains or similar
materials that could block the air inlet and outlet. Never block or restrict the
air inlet and outlet for any reason.
Keep the power cable away from heat sources, sharp edges, cutting and
moving parts.
Do not expose directly to weather or to excessive humidity.
Install and operate the device on fireproof floors.
Do not connect the direct-fired heater to an air duct.
Follow the general and special fire safety regulations in force in all fields of
applications. In any case, ensure the following minimum safety clearances
from materials or objects in the surroundings of the device.
6.
Fuel
Diesel heaters work with paraffin or diesel. Paraffin gives the cleanest combustion. Be aware that the more dust
and dirt that is contained in the fuel, the more ventilation will be required! Use the cleanest fuel possible.
Paraffin may only be stored in blue containers. Red containers are associated
with petrol.
Never use other fuels such as petrol, alcohol, oil compounds or similar in this
heater. This could lead to fire or explosion.
Never store paraffin in direct sunlight of near a source of heat.
Do not store paraffin in living/work areas but in a well-ventilated area such
as a shed, storage area or similar.
Never use paraffin from the previous season. Paraffin deteriorates in quality
and will not burn properly as a result.
If you can, use 1-K paraffin in this heater. Other premium quality paraffin
may also be used.
