Intended use
The oil heater IDE was designed to produce warm air in interior
spaces, halls and outdoor areas.
The device is suited for heating large rooms such as storage
spaces, workshops, construction sites, halls and greenhouses. It
is intended to be used without frequent displacement.
Every application going beyond these terms of use is prohibited!
Improper use
The device must not be positioned or operated in areas
with a high risk of fires or in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The device must not be operated in rooms with an
insufficient combustion air supply.
A number of spatial and technical conditions have to be
considered for the selection of the oil heater's installation site.
Non-observance may impair the proper functioning of the device
or the accessories or can entail risks of personal injury and
property damage.
The following is to be observed for positioning:
• The device is to be set up in a stable position on
incombustible ground.
• The device is to be installed near a chimney or an outer wall.
• The device must be connected to a properly secured mains
power socket.
• The room where the device is positioned must be sufficiently
ventilated.
• The minimum distance between the wall and the air inlet
opening of the device must be at least 2 m (see figure).
• The minimum distance between the device and combustible
materials must be at least 3 m.
• The inlet and outlet openings must not be covered.
• There must be no walls or large objects near the device.
• There must be a sufficient number of fire extinguishers
available.
• If the device is installed outdoors, it must be positioned under
a roof and protected from rain.

Wheel assembly
The device is delivered almost ready for operation. For start-up,
only the tubular frame and the wheels must be assembled.
Proceed as follows:
• Guide the wheel axle (H) into the corresponding mount of the
lower tubular frame (B).
• Slide the washer (G) onto the axle and mount both wheels (E)
onto the axle (H).
• Secure them with the cover caps (E).
• Position the device (I) on the lower tubular frame and insert
the supplied screws (C) through the openings for the tubular
frame/tank assembly.
• Mount the upper tubular frame (A) onto the tank and fasten
the tubular frames with the supplied nuts.
• Finally check all screws and clamp connections for tight fit.
Assembly of the exhaust line
Note that this device must not be put into operation
unless there is an exhaust line assembled at the
chimney connection!
Assembly of the chimney adapter
For outdoor use and for use in partly closed, well-ventilated
rooms without an exhaust system, it is necessary to mount a
simple chimney adapter (B) to the chimney connection (C).
Observe the following:
• The adapter (B) must have a minimum length of 1 m.
• Bends and elbows in this line are prohibited.
• If the device is used outdoors, a weather protection (A) must
be mounted to the end.
Assembly of a closed exhaust line
If the device is used in closed rooms and the combustion gases
are discharged via a chimney, a fresh air supply of
approx. 80 m³/h (air inlet opening approx. 0.5 m²) must be
ensured.
Make sure that in every operating and weather
condition a vacuum of > 0.1 mbar is created in the
exhaust line. This vacuum guarantees a safe
discharge of exhaust gases from the room. The
exhaust line must be installed upward. There must be
no bends or elbows in the first 3 metres of the
exhaust line!
Below are some examples of good and bad exhaust gas
discharge:

• Check the scope of delivery of your oil heater for
completeness. If an accessory part is missing, please contact
the Trotec customer service or the specialist dealer where
you purchased the device.
• Check the oil heater and its connection parts for potential
damage.
• Mount the support/carry handle and the wheels onto the oil
heater.
• Observe the conditions described in the chapter Installation
conditions.
• Install the exhaust line of the device properly to a chimney or
an outer wall as depicted in the chapter Exhaust system.
• Fill the tank with fuel oil when the device is switched off and
cooled down.
• Check the device for its proper condition prior to start-up and
at regular intervals during application.
• Check whether the characteristics of the power grid conform
to those on the rating plate.
• Each time before you plug the mains plug into the mains
socket and switch on the device, make sure that the fan is
moving freely.
• Connect the mains cable to a properly secured mains socket
(230 V / 50 Hz / 10 A).
On construction sites, there must be an RCD upstream of the
socket according to VDE 0100/0105.
The oil heater is now ready for operation. Use the device in
accordance with the functions described in the chapter Functions
and operation.
• Prior to planning of the exhaust system, inform the
competent chimney sweep according to DIN 18160.
Risk of injury due to poisoning!
An improper installation of the exhaust system can cause
health problems.
Have the system installed by an expert craftsman!
• Ensure an unimpeded and sufficient combustion air supply
(e. g. by means of ventilation openings in doors, ceilings,
windows, walls or via interconnected airways).
• Have the exhaust emission of the burner checked at regular
intervals.

The devices may only be operated by accordingly instructed
persons.
Observe the personnel qualification.
Switching on the oil heater
Switching off the oil heater
• Switch off the device by setting the selector switch to position
0.
• If you use a thermostat, switch off the device using the
settings of the controller (e. g. by setting a lower temperature
at the thermostat).
The flame goes out and the fan continues to run for approx. 90
seconds in order to cool down the burner.
Damage to the device due to overheating! Never
switch off the device by pulling the mains plug. This
may lead to overheating!
Switch off the device properly.
Only pull the mains plug once the fan motor has
stopped completely.
Restart after troubleshooting
During initial start-up and after the fuel oil circuit has been
drained completely, the fuel oil supply to the nozzle may be
insufficient. In this case, the flame monitoring system will
respond and the device will be blocked.
• Wait for approx. 1 minute.
• Switch the device on.
• If the device still does not start:
• Make sure that there is fuel left in the tank.
• See chapters General safety and Troubleshooting.
Safety devices
The oil heater is equipped with an electronic flame and maximum
temperature monitoring system working with a photo cell and a
safety thermostat.

• Switch off the device as described in the chapter Functions
and operation:
• Wait until the device has cooled down completely.
• Before transporting or moving the device, make sure that the
tank cap is tightly closed.
Risk of environmental pollution!
Fuel oil may leak during transport or handling of the
device.
The filling plug of the tank cap does not ensure
tightness in order to allow air to be introduced and to
be able to drain the tank during operation.
Transport or move the device only when the tank cap
is tightly closed.
For a smooth operation of the device, the combustion chamber,
the burner and the fan must be cleaned regularly.
• Switch off the device as described in the chapter Functions
and operation:
• Wait until the device has cooled down completely.
Cleaning after every 50 operating hours
• Remove the fuel oil filter. Take out the filter insert and clean
it with clean fuel oil.
• Dismantle the upper part of the housing and clean the inner
section and the fan blades with a cleaning fleece and, in case
of heavy soiling, with a brass brush.
• Check the condition off all cables and of the high-voltage
plugs.
• Dismantle the burner and clean its components with a brass
brush.
• Clean the electrodes. Check the distance of the electrodes
and adjust if necessary (see figure).
• Have the combustion chamber cleaned by the customer
service.
• Assemble the components in reverse order.
Cleaning the oil heater
• Wipe the outside of the device with a damp cloth. Painted and
plastic surfaces must not be scrubbed. Do not use any
cleaners containing solvents.
The fuel must be drained from the tank of the oil heater and
collected.
