3.3 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

The air heater is supplied with standard cardboard
packing with two polystyrene foam shells. The
packed appliance can be handled by hand or
with a fork-lift truck, making sure to observe the
instructions reported on the box indicated by the
special graphic symbols.
When delivered, check that no visible damage
on the packing and/or on the appliance has
occurred during transport. If damage is noted,
immediately submit a claim to the shipping agent.
When removing the air heater from the packing,
do not damage the cardboard. The assembly
template to be used to make the holes on the wall
in the room is printed on that cardboard. Check
that the packing includes the appliance but also
all the parts indicated in point 1.5. Place the
material and the documents in a protected area.

3.4 DATA CHECK

Check that the heater and its technical
characteristics match what is indicated by the
drawings or other documents.
SECTION 2
The type of gas for which the heater has been
designed and the supply pressure are found
on the exterior of the packing and on a special
label located on the inside of the appliance.
WARNING! If the type gas for which the
appliance has been designed is different
from the one being used, the conversion
operation must be carried out by skilled
technical personnel.

3.5 USING THE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When installing or working on
the appliance, comply with all the instructions
given in this manual. Changes to any type of
connection and non-compliance with these
instructions will immediately invalidate the
warranty and release the manufacturer from
all responsibilities.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 POSITIONING INSTRUCTIONS

Before carrying out any installation operations,
make sure that the following conditions are
satisfied regarding the position where the air
heater will be installed:
a) the appliance with standard accessories ,
must be installed on an external wall to ensure
that the it operates correctly.
The appliance can also be installed on other
walls by using a special kit which splits the
flue from the air intake. This is known as a
doubling device (see point 4.2.1).
b) it must be possible to provide a gas supply to
the selected point as well as a single-phase
230 Volts ~ 50 Hz power supply line
c) the position must be suitable to distribute the
air correctly into the room and the air flow
should not be obstructed by obstacles such
as furniture or drapes
d) the appliance must be installed at a minimum
of 10 cm from the floord so that the convection
fan can take in air correctly and thus ensure
optimal circulation of air on the exchanger. Do
not install the base of the appliance at a height
of more than 50 cm from the floor, since this
would lead to a non-uniform distribution of the
warm air and thus waste fuel
