Safety and prevention
3 Safety and prevention
3.1 Introduction
The burners have been designed and built in compliance with
current regulations and directives, applying the known technical
rules of safety and envisaging all the potential danger situations.
It is necessary, however, to bear in mind that the imprudent and
clumsy use of the equipment may lead to situations of death risk
for the user or third parties, as well as the damage to the burner
or other items. Inattention, thoughtlessness and excessive con-
dence oen cause accidents.
It is a good idea to remember the following:
• The burner must only be used as expressly described.
Any other use should be considered improper and therefore
dangerous.
In particular:
it can be applied to boilers operating with water, steam,
thermic oil, and to other uses expressly named by the
manufacturer,
the type and pressure of the fuel, the voltage and frequency of
the electrical power supply, the minimum and maximum deliveries
for which the burner has been regulated, the pressurisation of the
combustion chamber, the dimensions of the combustion chamber
and the room temperature must all be within the values indicated
in the instruction manual.
• Modication of the burner to alter its performance and
destinations is not allowed.
• The burner must be used in technically safe working
conditions. Any disturbances that could compromise safety must
be quickly eliminated.
• Opening or tampering with the burner components is not
allowed, apart from the parts requiring maintenance.
• Only those parts detailed as available as spare parts by
the manufacturer can be replaced.
3.2 Safety warnings
The dimension of the boiler’s combustion chamber must respond
to specic values in order to guarantee a combustion with the
lowest polluting emissions rate.
The Technical Service Personnel will be glad to give you all the infor-
mation for a correct matching of this burner to the boiler.
This burner must only be used for the application it was designed
for.
The manufacturer accepts no liability within or without the con-
tract for any damage caused to people, animals and property
due to installation, adjustment and maintenance errors or to
improper use.
3.3 Basic safety rules
• Children or inexpert persons must not use the appliance.
• Under no circumstances must the intake grids, dissipation
grids and ventilation vents in the installation room be covered up
with cloths, paper or any other material.
• Unauthorised persons must not attempt to repair the
appliance.
• It is dangerous to pull or twist the electric leads.
• Cleaning operations must not be performed if the appli-
ance is not disconnected from the main power supply.
• Do not clean the burner or its parts with inammable
substances (e.g. petrol, alcohol, etc.). The cover must be cleaned
with soapy water.
• Do not place anything on the burner.
• Do not block or reduce the size of the ventilation vents in
the installation room.
• Do not leave containers and inammable products or
combustible materials in the installation room.
3.4 Personnel training
The user is the person, body or company that has acquired the
machine and intends to use it for the specic purpose. He is
responsible for the machine and for the training of the people
working around it.
The user:
• undertakes to entrust the machine exclusively to suitably
trained and qualied personnel;
• must take all the measures necessary to prevent unau-
thorised people gaining access to the machine;
• undertakes to inform his personnel in a suitable way
about the application and observance of the safety instructions.
With that aim, he undertakes to ensure that everyone knows the
use and safety instructions for his own duties;
• must inform the manufacturer if faults or malfunctioning
of the accident prevention systems are noticed, along with any
presumed danger situation.
• Personnel must always use the personal protective
equipment envisaged by legislation and follow the indications
given in this manual.
• Personnel must observe all the danger and caution
indications shown on the machine.
• Personnel must not carry out, on their own initiative,
operations or interventions that are not permitted within their local
authority control.
• Personnel must inform their superiors of every problem or
dangerous situation that may arise.
• The assembly of parts of other makes, or any modica-
tions, can alter the characteristics of the machine and hence
compromise operating safety. The manufacturer therefore de-
clines any and every responsibility for any damage that may be
caused by the use of non-original parts.
