Selection of site of
installation
The following must be observed
when selecting the site of
installation:
1. Fire protection and operational
hazards.
2. Function:
Room heating free blowing or
with duct system.
Observe pressure conditions at
site of installation .
3. Operational requirements:
Heat requirements, air volume
flow, air circulation and out-
side air operation, humidity, air
distribution, room temperature,
space requirement.
4. Option for connection to a
chimney system.
Oil and gas-fired hot air heaters
(also with a nominal heat output
above 50 kW) may generally be
installed outside heating rooms in
compliance with the Ordinance on
Firing Installations (FeuVo).
The guidelines of the building su-
pervisory authority for the „instal-
lation of heat generating systems“
must be observed.
Locations in which flammable sub-
stances or mixtures are processed,
stored or produced in quantities
liable to be hazardous in the event
of ignition may be subject to ex-
ceptions if it is ensured by suitable
measures that the substances or
mixtures cannot ignite due to the
heat generating system.
Installation of the heaters must
generally take place in compliance
with the directives of the buil-
ding regulations (LBO) and the
Ordinance on Firing Installations
(FeuVO) of the respective federal
state.
The First Ordinance on the imple-
mentation of the Federal Immissi-
on Control Act (1st BImSchG) and
the subsequently issued statutory
requirements of the Ordinance
on Small Firing Installations (1st
BImSchV) must also be taken into
account.
Hot air heaters in particular are ex-
cluded in some respects however.

Combustion air supply
A sufficient supply of combustion
air must generally be ensured by
the respective requirements of the
building supervisory authority.
Extracts from M-FeuVO (Speci-
men Firing Ordinance) (may vary
between federal states).
(1) For non-roomsealed heating
appliances with a total nominal
heat output of up to 35 kW,
the combustion air supply is
deemed verified if the heating
appliances are installed in a
room with:
1. Minimum one door leading
to the outside or one window
that can be opened (rooms
leading outdoors) and having
a cubic capacity of minimum 4
m
3
per kW total nominal heat
output.
2. An opening leading to the
outside with an internal cross-
section of minimum 150 cm
2
or two opening each 75 cm
2
or pipes leading to the outside
having cross-sections equiva-
lent to the flow.
(2) For non-roomsealed heating
appliances with a total nomi-
nal heat output of more than
35 kW and not more than 50
kW, the combustion air supply
is deemed as verified if the
heating appliances are installed
in rooms that comply with the
requirements specified in Sec-
tion 1 No. 2.
(3) For non-roomsealed heating
appliances with a total nominal
heat output of more than 50
kW, the combustion air supply
is deemed as verified
NOtE
Only type tested hot air heat-
ers with forced-air oil burners
(complying with DIN EN 267)
or gas burners (complying with
DIN EN 676) must be used.
NOtE
Where delivery from the fac-
tory takes place with an oil or
gas burner, separate operating
instructions for the burner are
enclosed.
AttENtION
The heaters must be in-
stalled and mounted so that
they are easily accessible for
monitoring,repair and mainte-
nance.
AttENtION
Low or excess pressure in the
installation location must be
avoided as this can result in
combustion problems.
