Dear Customer,
Thank you for requesting a Benson Heating warm air heater from your installer. In doing so you have selected one of the
best products on the market, one which will provide you with all the undisputed advantages of greater indoor comfort. This
manual provides information and advice for its proper installation, use and maintenance. To ensure long-lasting
performance we recommend that you read the entire manual carefully. Store this manual in a safe place for future
consultation.
WARNING
Always make sure the unit is accompanied by this manual so that it can be consulted by the user, installer and any
specialised Assistance Service personnel.
Before reading this manual please note that the warm air heater warranty is only valid where the unit has been installed by
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
This unit has been designed for indoor heating purposes only. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO USE THE UNIT FOR ANY
PURPOSES OTHER THAN THAT FOR WHICH IT HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED.
Fumes and/or odours may be emitted during the first few hours of operation owing to evaporation of the liquid which
protects the heat exchanger; this is quite normal and will cease after a short time.
The room in which the unit is installed should be properly ventilated.
USEFUL ADVICE:
Installation and maintenance must be carried out by personnel qualified as per Italian Law n° 46 of 5th march 1990 and in
compliance with UNI-CIG 7129 and 7131, amendments included.
Your safety starts here:
Improper installation can cause damage to persons, animals and objects. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any
such damages.
After removing the unit from its packaging make sure it has not been damaged during transport and that no parts are
missing; if in doubt do not use the unit and contact your dealer.
Dispose of packaging (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene etc.) properly. Keep such packaging away from children as it is
dangerous.
Do not install the unit near inflammable materials.
Fix and protect fuel feed lines properly.
Fuel feed lines and electrical power lines must not cause obstruction or cause personnel to trip up.
The unit must be serviced at least once a year by qualified personnel and in any case by a specialised Assistance Service
firm.
If the installation area is poorly lit use additional lighting when carrying out installation/maintenance tasks.
Never let children or incapable persons use the unit unless under adult supervision.
Do not install the unit in areas with an “aggressive” atmosphere.
Do not get the unit wet, install it in a damp area or where it may be splashed by water or other liquids.
Never place any objects on top of the unit.
Do not touch the chimney flue connector duct during routine use as this can become extremely hot.
Do not insert anything in the cover grating and/or fume outlet duct.
In the event of prolonged absence close the main fuel cut-off valve.
DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY WORK ON THE UNIT YOURSELF
As with all Benson Heater units, use original spare parts only.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damages caused by improper, erroneous or unreasonable use of the unit or
the use of non-original parts/materials.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any errors in the translation of this manual which result in erroneous
interpretation.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any inobservance of instructions contained in this manual or the consequences

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work:
- close all fuel valves/taps.
- disconnect the unit from the electrical power supply via the main unit switch and/or any power line breakers.
- make sure the heat exchanger has cooled so that there is no risk of being burnt. Do not use adapters, multiple sockets
and/or extension leads to connect up to the mains power supply. To connect to the mains install an omnipolar switch as per
the safety standards in force.
