2. Safety information
Please take note of these issues to prevent injuries, res and other hazards caused by inappropriate use and operation
of the air heater:
Warning!
Installation, electrical connection, media supply connection, maintenance, commissioning, repair, etc. may only
be performed by trained staff.
Before any work on the air heater is undertaken, it must be ensured that the power supply is switched off (all-pole separa-
tion) and secured against unauthorised re-operation!
Only operate the air heaters once they have been completely assembled and provided with appropriate reach-in protec-
tion.
All claims for damages or warranties become void when the installation does not comply with our stipulations or when
the fault/damage is causally related to inappropriate alterations, processing or other treatment. The user must prove that
the fault is not due to inappropriate installation.
The general maintenance instructions in the operating and installation instructions for the AL-KO air heaters must always
be adhered to.
The implementation and design of the air heater corresponds to the standards listed in the declaration of conformity and
declaration of incorporation to minimise the risk potential posed by the air heater. The potential risk can only be mini-
mised when these additional, applicable standards for the installation-ready system are adhered to by the system builder.
It must be ensured that all authorised persons have read and understood all of the operating and installation instructions
and adhere to them!
All plant, company and work instructions of the user apply in addition to these operating instructions to prevent hazards
within the company.
Personal protective equipment is required for work on the air heater!
2.1 Appropriate use
The application range for AL-KO air heaters is exclusively air heating of the air in rooms and buildings with normal cli-
mate and normal atmosphere.
The air heaters may only be operated in an environmental temperature range between -20 °C and +40 °C and a humidity
range between 50% and 85% relative humidity without condensation.
Installation of the air heaters at a location more than 800 m above sea level may lead to a drop in performance and has
to be investigated on a case-by-case basis.
Different areas of application should be discussed with the manufacturing plant.
2.2 Possible inappropriate uses
AL-KO air heaters may only be operated within the range specied in the technical data provided by AL-KO. Any other or
further use that deviates from the description in Point "2.1" Appropriate use" is deemed inappropriate use. The manufac-
turer is not liable for damage resulting from such use.
Possible inappropriate use includes, for example:
Transport of media with temperatures above or below the permitted range, aggressive media or media containing
a lot of dust.
Use in an explosive atmosphere.
Use in wet areas with a high humidity content (e.g. washing system)
"Safety information"

Translation from the original operating instruction6
AL-KO AIR HEATER COMFORT
2.3 Residual risks
The air heater may pose risks when it is used by untrained persons or in an incorrect or inappropriate way.
Residual risks are potential risks that are not obvious, e.g.:
Injuries due to not adhering to the safety instructions, standards, guidelines or regulations
Injuries due to uncoordinated work.
Risk due to working on the electrical system, the cables and the connections
2.4 Delivery
AL-KO air heaters are delivered in cardboard boxes or on pallets incl. lm packaging!
2.5 Storage, transport
Warning! Caution!
Store the air heaters in their original packaging in a dry place and protected against the weather.
Cover open pallets with tarpaulins and protect the air heaters against dirt (e.g. chips, stones, wire, etc.)
Additional, protective packaging must be used for transport under harsh conditions, (e.g. on open vehicles, exposed
to unusual vibration, transport by sea or in subtropical countries).
Prevent repeated and, in particular, sudden temperature changes. They are particularly harmful when the humidity
can condense.
Check the ease of movement of the fan bearings (turn them by hand) after storage periods longer than 1 year.
The device can be transported with a fork lift or and industrial truck as described in Point 4.1 "Fork lift / industrial
truck transport".
Clear vision must be ensured during the transport
(use support staff as required)
No persons may remain in the transport area.
The relevant worker safety and environmental protection regulations must be adhered to during transport.
The air heater may only be transported by educated, trained and instructed personnel and with appropriate consid-
eration of safety issues.
It must be ensured that drivers have appropriate driving licences when transporting devices requiring a driving li-
cence.
Avoid twisting of the housing or other forms of damage.
Damage caused by in appropriate packaging, storage or transport are to be borne by the party that caused them.
When the system stands still for more than one month, the fan must be turned once a month to prevent damage to
the bearings.

3. Product description
AL-KO air heaters of the COMFORT series consist of a stable, self-supporting steel sheet housing which is sendzimir-
galvanised and has additional powder coating. Individually adjustable ns are arranged on all four sides. A maintenance-
free axial fan ensures low-noise operation. The drives of the AL-KO air heaters are external rotor motors. They have a
permanently lubricated deep-groove ball bearing and the fan forms a single unit with the rotor. A heat exchanger for air
heating will be installed in the housing next to the fan. This is implemented as a nned heat exchanger (made of Cu / Al).
The air heaters can be extended with various electrical accessories.
