Before using the space heater, carefully read all of the instructions and follow them scrupulously.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage to persons and/or property caused by improper use of
the equipment.
This instruction manual is an integral part of the equipment and must therefore be stored carefully and passed on
with the unit in the event of a change of ownership.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The space heaters run on heating oil #2. Direct combustion
versions send hot air and combustion products into the room,
while indirect combustion versions are fitted with a flue to
discharge the fumes through the chimney.
Always follow local ordinances and codes when using this
heater:
• Follow the instructions in this booklet very carefully;
• THE

AUTHORITIES
HAVING
recommended installation practice reference should be made
to the current issue of CSA B139, Installation Code for Oil
Burning Equipment in Canada and NFPA 31 Standard for the
Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment in the USA;
• Use only in places free of flammable vapours or high dust
content;
• Never use heater in immediate proximity of flammable
materials (the minimum distance must be 3 m);
• Make sure fire fighting equipment is readily available;
• Ensure that the machine resting surface or ground is not made
of flammable material;
• Make sure sufficient fresh outside air is provided according to
the heater requirements. Direct combustion heaters should
only be used in well vented areas in order to avoid carbon
monoxide poisoning;
• A rough estimate of opening required for each gallon (US) of
capacity is one square foot for indirect-fired heater and three
square foot at heater level, for direct-fired heaters;
• the indirect combustion heater is installed near a chimney to
take away the fumes (see the paragraph "CHIMNEY LAY-OUT
RECOMMENDATION")
and
switchboard;
• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front);
• In case of very low temperatures add kerosene to the heating
oil;
• Make sure heater is always under surveillance and keep
children and animals away from it;
• Before starting the heater always check free rotation of
ventilator;
• Unplug heater when not in use.
SAFETY DEVICES
The heater is fit with an electronic device that controls the
flame and the maximum safe temperature by means of a
photocell, two overheat thermostats, an air pressure switch and a
fan start thermostat.
The electronic device controls start/stop times and trips the
safety in case of malfunctions. It has reset button (13) that can
assume different colours (Function Light) depending on the
function mode:
• off: heater is in stand-by, waiting for heating call ;
• steady green: heater functioning normally;
• steady red: heater in safety stop;
To restart heating after a safety stop, push reset button (13)
for 3 seconds.

Warning
NEVER do more than two restarts in a row:
uncombusted diesel fuel may accumulate in the
combustion chamber and suddenly flare up at the
next restart.
If the safety stop persists, you have to find and eliminate the
cause of the stop before you restart the heater.
IN
Warning
See "TROUBLESHOOTING" to identify the cause of
a
the malfunction.
OPERATION
Before switching on the heater and, therefore, before plugging
it into the electrical power supply, check that the power supply
specifications are the same as those stated on the identification
plate.
Warning
• The power line must be earthed and fitted with a
residual current circuit breaker.
• The heater plug must be inserted into a socket
equipped with a mains switch.
The heater must be placed on a flat, stable, and levelled
surface in order to prevent it from overturning and/or diesel leaks
from the tank filler cap.
The heater can work in "ventilation" mode turning the switch
(14) to
: the fan motor starts, while the burner is off.
The heater works in "heating" mode, turning the switch (14) to
: the burner motor start, immediately followed by ignition and
combustion. When the combustion chamber becomes hot, the
coolin fan motor starts.
To select the heating power level, turn the swicth (18) to the
position corrispondent to the first stage (I S) or second stage (II
S).
In heating mode the heater can run automatically when
connected to a control device such as thermostat, time clock.
Connection of control is made to connectors 2 and 3 of the plug
(15) fitted to the heater after having removed the bridge between
2 and 3 as fitted ex works. This bridge should be kept and
retrofitted if manual running of heater is whished at another time.
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
