6.1. CHECKING THE HEATER AND THE DIESEL SUPPLY LINE
Perform the following checks:
• Make sure the heater is not installed where there may be a risk of
fire or explosion
• Make sure that flammable materials are kept a safe distance away
• If you find diesel leaks:
• Close the diesel stopcock
• Find and repair the source of the diesel leak
• Do not use the heater if any removed panels have not been
remounted
• Make sure the room to be heated is sufficiently ventilated
• Make sure that the air intake and outlet are completely
unobstructed
• Make sure that the heater is not covered by any sheets or covers
• Check that the heater is in a fixed and stable position;
• Make sure the heater is constantly monitored during operation and
checked before being started;
and checked before being started
6.2 CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HEATER

6.3 Cleaning the motor and the fan
Clean the fan blades and the motor as follows:
• Remove the fan group fixing screws and then remove the fan
group.
• Clean the motor with compressed air.
• Clean the fan blades with a hard brush.
• Reinstall the fan group.
6.4 CHECKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
After detaching the power cable, check all electrical connections as
follows:
• Make sure that all connections are complete and tight.
• If there are traces of dirt or corrosion, clean or replace the
connections if necessary.
• Replace any damaged wires or connectors if necessary.
6.5 CHECKING AND TESTING THE BURNER
To reach the burner:
• Remove the burner fixing screw.
• Remove the burner and follow the checking and cleaning
instructions in the burner manual.
• Reinstall the burner.
• Run the procedures described in paragraphs 4.7 and 4.8 to
measure combustion parameters and check that combustion is
stable and clean.
6.6 CHECKING THE THERMOSTATS
Inspect the thermostats as follows:
• Remove any air outlet connection ducts
• Find the thermostats fixed to the internal panel of the space
heater.
• Clean with a dry cloth, taking care not to cut or bend the capillary
tube.
6.7 CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE HEATER
For thorough cleaning, the heater can be cleaned and washed inside
and outside with water. It is however necessary to ensure that:
• the electrical cable is disconnected and unplugged from the
socket
• completely close all access panels
• do not use water jets at a pressure exceeding 70 bar at a distance
less than 30 cm
• completely dry all parts before reconnecting the electrical cable.
6.8 CLEANING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
To maintain the burner's high efficiency and prolong its life, the
procedure described in this paragraph must be done at least once at
the end of the work season or more frequently if there is an
excessive build-up of soot. Excessive soot may be caused by poor
chimney draught, poor fuel quality, poor regulation of the burner, or
more or less frequent alternation of burner starts and stops.
Pay attention during operation: pulsations at start may be due to
excessive amounts of soot.
To access the heat exchanger (1), take off the rear panel (3), remove
the smoke box inspection panel (2), and then remove baffle plates
(7).
To access the combustion chamber (4) remove the burner (5).
Clean with compressed air or, if necessary, with a metal brush to
remove any deposited soot and combustion residues.
Warning
After any technical work, always check that the heater
works correctly.
