Ventilation Requirements
• For every kW it is necessary to have permanent ventilation of 25 cm², equally
distributed between the floor and high level, with a minimum outlet of 250 cm².
• Never direct the hot air flow towards the cylinder.
• Never use the heater without its cover.
• Do not exceed 100 W/m³ of free room. The minimum volume of the room must be
larger than 100 m³.
• The heater must be placed where there is no risk of fire. The hot air outlet must
be at least 3.5m from any flammable wall or ceiling and must never be directed
towards the gas cylinder. If in any doubt contact your supplier.
• Do not use duct work. Do not obstruct the inlet or outlet sections of the heater.
• Do not use the heater in cellars, basements or in any room below the ground
level.
• If the heater has to work for a long period at its maximum capacity, it's possible
that ice will form on the cylinder. This is due to excessive vapour withdrawal. Not
for this reason, or for any other, should the cylinder be heated. To avoid this effect,
or at least to reduce it, use a large cylinder or two cylinders linked together.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any harm or damage if attention
is not paid to the points described above. The use of this product and the
elements required for that purpose is entirely at the end user's own risk.
