 Currentgoesthroughtippositionofthetwoignitionneedles,whichwillprovideasparkandretheatomizedfuel.

AIR SYSTEM:Fan1onthebackoftheproductprovidestheoxygenforcombustionaswellastoblowouttheheatedair.

Fan 2 works to cool down the surface temperature of the product.

5.4. TEMPERATURE LIMIT CONTROL:ThisheaterisequippedwithaTemperatureLimitControldesignedtoturntheheatero󰀨

 shouldtheinternaltemperaturerisetoanunsafelevel.Ifthisdeviceactivatesandturnsyourheatero󰀨,itmayrequireservice.Once

the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will be able to start your heater.

5.5. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROTECTION: The heater’s electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker that protects the system

 componentsfromdamage.Iftheheaterfails,checkthefuserst,andreplaceifnecessary.

5.6. FLAME SENSOR:Theheaterusesaphotocellto“see”theameinthecombustionchamber.Shouldtheameextinguish,thesensor

 willstopelectricalcurrentandtheheaterwillshuto󰀨.

5.7. ANTI-TOPPLING: Theproducthasananti-topplingswitchwhichwillshutdownoperationwhenproducttopples.

NOTE: The pump will make a noise when operated for the rst time (this also includes when started after refuelling). The

noise may last for 10 seconds. This process is the pump exhausting air. Please also note that if the pump works for a long

time without fuel, it will seriously reduce the life span of the unit.

5.8. FUELLING THE HEATER

CAUTION:NEVER FILL THE FUEL TANK INDOORS. ALWAYS FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS. BE SURE THAT THE HEATER IS ON

LEVEL GROUND WHEN FUELLING, AND NEVER OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK. NEVER REFUEL THIS HEATER WHILE IT IS HOT

OR OPERATING. FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.

 WARNING!Starttheheateroutdoorsforthersttime.Thiswillallowanyoilsusedinthemanufacturingprocesstobeburnedo󰀨ina

 safeenvironment.Thisinitialburnshouldlastatleast10minutes.

5.9. VENTILATION

5.9.1. Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater onlyinwellventilatedareas.

5.10. REFLECTING PLATE g.4:

 Whenusingonnon-heat-resistantoororwoodenoor,usersmusttthereectingplate,toavoidrehazardandoordamage,g.4.

5.11. TO START THE HEATER

5.11.4. The setting range is from 5°C to 45°C.

5.11.5. PushthePowerswitchtothe“ON”position(Seeg.3).

5.11.6. The power indicator lamp and room temperature display will light and the heater will start.

NOTE: Iftheheaterdoesnotre,thethermostatmaybesettoolow.TurntheControlKnobtoahighersettinguntilheaterres.

 Iftheheaterstilldoesnotstart,pushPowerSwitchto“OFF”,thenbackto“ON”.Ifheaterstilldoesnotre,seeTroubleshootingGuide.

NOTE:TheelectricalcomponentsofthisheaterareprotectedbyafusemountedinthePCboard.Iftheheaterfailstore,checkthis

 fuserst,andreplaceifnecessary.

 Alsocheckthepowersourcetobesurethatthepropervoltageisbeingprovidedtotheheater.

5.12. TO STOP THE HEATER

5.12.1. Turn the Power switch to “OFF” position and disconnect from mains supply.

5.13. TO RESTART THE HEATER
