CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING SURFACES

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

  • External surfaces can be cleaned lightly with mild cleaning agents, if necessary.
  • Clean the reflectors behind and to the sides of the heating pipes with a soft and clean (microfibre) cloth.

NOTE!The heating pipes are coated with a ceramic layer. Clean them with special care. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.

DO NOT DETACH OR REMOVE ANY HEATING PIPES!

  • Clean the key panel and LED display with a soft and clean (microfibre) cloth.
  • Reinstall the safety mesh after cleaning.
HEATER STORAGE

It is a good idea to unplug the power cord for every period of storage. Place the power cord in the tank inside the heater to ensure that it is not caught under a tyre, for example, when being moved.

Allow the heater to cool down completely before placing it in storage. Protect the heater during storage by covering it with the bag included in the delivery.

If the heater will be out of use for an extended period, fill the fuel tank with an additive to prevent any microbial growth inside the tank.

Storing the heater outdoors or in an extremely humid environment may cause corrosion resulting in significant technical damage.

REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter is located in the heater tank. We recommend replacing the fuel filter regularly, but at least once per heating season.

REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER

  1. Disconnect the fuel hoses from the fuel pump.
  2. Lift off the rubber seal on the fuel tank with a screwdriver.
  3. Unscrew the nut lightly with a spanner.
  4. Ensure that two (2) small O-rings remain on the copper pipe before installing the new fuel filter.
  5. Screw the fuel filter lightly onto the copper pipe.
  6. Place the fuel filter back into the tank and attach the fuel hoses to the fuel pump.

NOTE!The fuel system may require bleeding after fuel filter replacement.

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM

If the heater’s fuel pump sounds exceptionally loud and the heater does not run properly, the probable cause is air in the fuel system.

BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM

  1. Loosen the bleeder wing nut at the bottom of the fuel pump by 2–3 rotations.
  2. Start the heater.
  3. When you hear the fuel pump start, wait for 2–3 seconds and close the bleed screw.

Bleeding the system may require this procedure to be repeated 2–3 times.

TIP FOR USING THE HEATERSee all possible causes of error messages in the table on page 16.

DIAGNOSING AND REPAIRING OPERATING FAILURES

ENSURE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION!

More than 85% of all operating malfunctions are due to insufficient ventilation. It is advisable to place the heater in a central and open location so that it can radiate heat in front of it without obstruction. The heater needs oxygen to run, which is why sufficient ventilation in the room must be ensured. Natural ventilation in accordance with the applicable building regulations is sufficient, provided that no inlet or outlet vents have been blocked. It is also not recommended to position a replacement air vent near the device so that the thermostat control is not disturbed.

  • It is important to ensure that air circulates in the space being heated. Ideally, air should be fed in through an inlet vent at the bottom and the CO2-containing air should discharged through an outlet vent at the top.
  • The recommended diameter of the ventilation openings is 75–100 mm.
  • If the room has an inlet or outlet vent only, air cannot circulate in it and the ventilation is insufficient. The situation is the same if ventilation is only provided through an open window.
  • Air flowing in from slightly opened doors/windows does not guarantee sufficient ventilation.
  • The heater requires sufficient ventilation even when the exhaust pipe is led out of the room being heated.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND CONNECTION DIAGRAM

  • The manufacturer does not recommend these heaters be used in temperatures under -20ºC.
  • Due to active product development, the manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical specifications and functional descriptions in this manual without separate notice.
  • The device may only be connected to a 220/230 V electricity network.
