Floor Standing Warm Air Heater PK SPORT
Use, Installation and Maintenance Manual
2.2. Gas Leaks
If you smell gas:
• donotoperateelectricalswitches,thetelephoneoranyother
object or device that can cause sparks or naked ames;
• immediately open doors and windows to create an air ow
to vent the gas out of the room;
• close the gas valves;
• switch o the power supply via a disconnector outside the unit;
• call for qualied sta;
• call the Fire Brigade.
2.3. Power supply
The heater must be correctly connected to an eective earthing
system, tted in compliance with current legislation.
Cautions:
• Check the eciency of the earthing system and, if required,
call out a qualied engineer.
• Checkthatthemainspowersupplyisthesameasthepower
inputstatedontheequipmentnameplateandinthismanual.
• Donotreverseliveandneutral;theheatercanbeconnected
to the mains power supply with a plug-socket only if the latter
does not allow live and neutral to be swapped.
• The electrical system and, more specically, the cable
section,mustbesuitablefortheequipmentmaximumpower
input, shown on the nameplate and in this manual.
• Do not pull electric cables and keep them away from heat
sources.
NOTE: It is compulsory to install, upstream of the power cable,
a switch with a protection (fuses or automatic), as required by
existing regulations. The switch must be visible, accessible
andplacedatadistancelowerthan3metresfromthecontrol
compartment; any electrical operation (installation and
maintenance) must be performed by qualied sta.
2.4. Use
Do not allow children or inexperienced people to use any
electrically powered equipment.
The following instructions must be adhered to:
• do not touch the equipment with wet or damp parts of your
body and/or with bare feet;
• do not leave the equipment exposed to the elements (rain,
sun etc...) unless it is adequately protected;
• do not use the gas pipes to earth electrical equipment;
• do not wet the heater with water or other uids;
• do not place any object over the equipment;
• do not touch the moving parts of the heater.
• Avoid contact with hot heater surfaces.
Such surfaces, generally located near the ame, overheat
during operation and remain hot for some time after the burner
has stopped.
If the equipment is not to be used for a certain period of time,
open the main electrical switch of the thermal station and close
the manual valve on the duct which brings the fuel to the burner.
If, instead, the equipment is not to be used any more, perform
the following operations:
• a qualied person shall disconnect the power supply cable
from the main switch;
• close the manual valve on the duct supplying fuel to the
burner by removing or locking the control handwheel.
2.5. Air Vents
The room where gas red heater will be installed must be provided
with one or more air vents. These air vents must be tted
• ush to the ceiling for gases with density lower than 0.8sqm;
• ush to the oor for gases with density higher than or equal
to 0.8sqm.
The air vents must be tted to walls facing the open air. The
sections must be sized according to the heat output installed.
In case of doubt, measure the CO2with the burner working at
maximum output rate and the room ventilated only through the
air vents for the burner and then measure again with the door
closed. C02value must be the same under both conditions. If
in the same room there are several burners or aspirators that
can work together, measure with all the equipment working at
the same time.
Donotobstructtheroomairvents,theburnerfanintakeopening,
any air ductwork and intake or dissipation grilles, avoiding in
this way:
• stagnationintheroomofanytoxicand/orexplosivemixture;
• smouldering combustion: dangerous, expensive, pollutant.
The heater, if not built for outdoor installation, shall be sheltered
from rain, snow, and frost. If air is pulled from outdoor, the intake
must be protected by a rain deector or similar device that prevents
water from penetrating into the heater.
The room where the heater-burner group is installed must be
clean and deprived of volatile substances that can be drawn by
the fan and obstruct burner inner hoses or combustion head.
Dust itself can be a problem if it is left depositing on fan blades,
thus reducing fan ow rate and making combustion polluting.
Moreover dust can deposit on the back of ame stability disk in
combustion head, degrading air-fuel mixing ratio.
2.6. Maintenance
Before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance operations,
isolate the unit from the mains power supply using the switch
located on the electrical system and/or on the shut-o devices.
If the equipment is faulty and/or incorrectly operating, switch it
o and do not attempt to repair it yourself, but contact our local
Technical Service Centre.
Use only original spare parts for repairs. Failure to follow above
instructions could compromise the unit safety and shall void the
warranty.
