⚠️ Diesel heater safety instructions

The diesel heater's combustion process consumes oxygen and produces dangerous exhaust gases. Incorrect installation can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.

1. Exhaust gas routing (Main rule)

• Outside only: Exhaust gases must be routed completely outside the building, tent or vehicle using a metal exhaust pipe.

• Sealing: Ensure the exhaust connection to the heater body is sealed with the supplied clamp. Even a small leak into the interior can be fatal.

• CO alarm: Always install a good-quality carbon monoxide (CO) alarm in the space. It's cheap life insurance.

  
  

2. Exhaust temperature and insulation

The exhaust pipe reaches very high temperatures in use.

• Max temperature: Diesel heater exhaust temperatures can reach approximately 250–450 °C at the outlet depending on power. The metal pipe itself may glow hot.

• Penetrations: If the exhaust pipe passes through a wall or floor, use a non‑combustible insulating material (e.g. fire wool or a separate metal penetration sleeve). The pipe must not touch wood, plastic or other combustible materials directly.

• Clearance: Maintain at least 10 cm clearance from any meltable or flammable materials along the full length of the pipe.

  
  

3. Combustion air and heated air

• Separate air intakes: Ensure the heater's exhaust is not near the heater's combustion air intake or the heated air intake. Otherwise the unit may draw its own exhaust back in.

  
  

4. Fuel handling

• Position the fuel tank so that in a leak diesel cannot flow onto the hot exhaust pipe.
