GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The hot air generators run on diesel fuel. Those with direct com-
bustion send hot air and the combustion products into the room, while
those with indirect combustion are fitted with a flue to take the fumes
away through the chimney.

• Use only in places free of flammable vapours or high dust con-
tent;
• Never use heater in immediate proximity of flammable materials
(the minimum distance must be 2 m);
• Make sure fire fighting equipment is readily available;
• Make sure sufficient fresh outside air is provided according to
the heater requirements. Direct combustion heaters should only
be used in well vented areas in order to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning;
