NOTE The electrical safety of the unit is attained only when the unit itself is correctly connected and efficiently grounded according to the existing safety standards. Do not use gas tubes to earth electrical apparatus. G. The unit should be connected to the electric supply line by means of an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm.
Figure 4 POSITION OF THE UNITS SIZE AND INSTALLATION OF THE AIR INLET / FLUE EXHAUST F1 Series gas fired unit heaters can be installed as following: type installation, combustion air taken directly from the room and flue exhaust gases to the outside.
Page 14
Note: When horizontal pipes with lengths above 1 metre are installed, the flue pipe must be mounted with a slope of 2 to 3 cm each 1 metre length (see fig. 5), to prevent entering the condense drops into the unit. In addition, to install correctly the flue exhaust and the air intake terminals, follow the details given in figure 8.

CONVERSION TO ANOTHER TYPE OF GAS WARNING! Qualified engineers must carry out this operation. Wrong and careless assembly of the gas circuit may cause dangerous gas leakage. Use adequate seals for all connections. If the type of gas on the identification label does not correspond to the one that will be used, the unit must be converted and adapted to the type of gas you wish to use.

Stop of the unit To turn off the unit, set the room thermostat to the lowest temperature. The burner is turned off, while the fan will continue to operate until the unit is completely cold. WARNING In case of long inactivity, after carrying out the above operation and after the fans have turned off, close the gas cock and disconnect the electric supply by using the omnipolar switch placed on the supply line.
SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING REMOVABLE BURNER The burner mounted inside the F1 Gas Unit Heaters is removable type: this particular construction characteristic allows the cleaning of the burner. WARNING The cleaning of the burner is to be done by qualified personal. Erroneous or not correct operation of the gas pipeline can cause dangerous gas leakages on all circuit and particularly on the tamped segment.
WARNING Only qualified service engineer authorised by Manufacturer must carry out the operation of servicing and maintenance. OPERATING FAILURES Before checking for possible failures, ensure that: A) Correct electric supply: 230-240V ±10% 50Hz and adequate earthing are provided. B) The gas is supplied. C) Pressures and flows are within the limits recommended by the manufacturer.
