2 Safety instructions
Always follow the safety instructions in this chapter when
installing, using or performing maintenance on this air
heater:
2.1 Installation
CAUTION!
This air heater must be installed and
maintained by an authorized, qualified and competent
installer, using calibrated equipment.

This air heater must be installed and maintained
in accordance with this manual, national and local building
regulations and local health and safety regulations.
2.1.1
Protection against dust
CAUTION!
Cover the air heater while spreading sawdust
on the floor. This prevents large amounts of dust from
accumulating on the heater.
CAUTION!
The air heater can be used in a dusty
environment (e.g. a poultry shed) if they are cleaned and
maintained more frequently.
2.1.2
Temperature
CAUTION!
Do not install the heater in places where the

Air heaters installed in very cold environments
may form condensate in the flue system. Make sure a
condensate discharge is installed.
2.1.3
Corrosive vapours
WARNING!
Do not install the air heater in areas that
contain any corrosive or explosive vapours. Corrosive
vapours (e.g. containing Chlorine) that are sucked into the

leakage of condensate and flue gas. This is also the case
for the room thermostat.

Make sure the area around the air heater is
dry when performing maintenance on the air heater.
CAUTION!

environment must be maintained and cleaned more
frequently.
CAUTION!
Air heaters installed in poultry sheds must be
maintained and cleaned after every breeding cycle.
