Frequently Asked Questions - GID 40 Güde

What fuel should I use with the GID 40?

Use exclusively diesel. Petrol, naphtha, thinners or other flammable liquids are strictly prohibited due to fire and explosion risks.

Can I use this appliance indoors?

No, this heater is designed for outdoor use only or in very large well-ventilated buildings (construction sites). It produces carbon monoxide; insufficient ventilation can lead to death.

How do I start the appliance?

Make sure the tank contains diesel, plug the appliance into an earthed socket, then set the I/O switch to I (on). The appliance starts within a few seconds.

What should I do if the appliance does not start?

Check the power supply, fuel level, and that the switch is set to I. If error codes appear (F0, F1...), consult the troubleshooting manual. A restart may be necessary after waiting 5 minutes.

How do I clean the fuel filter?

Unscrew the filter bowl (see diagram), remove the filter and rinse it with clean diesel. Do not damage it. Perform this operation at least twice per heating season.

The appliance emits a strange smell during first use, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal. Manufacturing residues burn off and the smell disappears after a few minutes of operation.

Can I use an extension cord?

Specific safety instructions

DANGER!

Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death! This is a direct-fired diesel radiant heater. It is primarily intended for temporary heating of buildings under construction, reconstruction or repair.

Direct-fired means that all combustion products of the heater enter and spread directly into the heated room. This appliance has a combustion efficiency of 98 %, but still produces a small amount of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic.

Humans can only tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, which is why it is essential to ensure sufficient ventilation.

Persons with breathing problems should consult a doctor before using the heater. Failure to provide proper ventilation in accordance with these instructions may result in death!

The first signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to those of flu. Symptoms that may occur with improper ventilation are: Headache, dizziness, burning in the nose and eyes, nausea, dry mouth, sore throat.

If the heater is used in the presence of other people, you must inform them of all correct and important safety precautions, operating procedures and hazards.

Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anaemia, people under the influence of alcohol or when using the device at high altitudes.

Check the appliance thoroughly for damage before each use. Do NOT operate a damaged heater.

DO NOT modify this heater or operate a heater that has been modified from its original condition.

Make sure that the heater is always supervised and keep children and animals away from it.

Keep the area around the heater free from flammable materials such as gas, oil, paint thinner and other flammable vapours and liquids. Dust is flammable. Do not use the heater in areas with high dust concentration.

The inlet (rear) and outlet (front) of the heater must not be narrowed. The heater must never be used with an air ducting system (pipes/hoses etc.).

WARNING!

Burn/fire/explosion hazard! NEVER use petrol or other fuels of any kind to operate this heater!

To avoid injury, always wear gloves when handling the heater. Never touch an operating or hot heater as severe burns may occur.

This heater is not suitable for use on noble or sensitive floors. Use a heat protection mat on a heat-sensitive floor.

Disposal

Warning Danger of suffocation!

Keep packaging parts out of the reach of children and dispose of them as soon as possible.

The packaging protects the unit from damage during transport. The packaging materials are usually selected according to environmentally compatible and disposal aspects and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging to the material cycle saves raw materials and reduces the amount of waste. Packaging parts (e.g. foils, Styrofoam*) can be dangerous for children.

Do not dispose of electrical appliances in household waste, use the collection points in your municipality. Ask your local authority for the locations of the collection points. If electrical appliances are disposed of in an uncontrolled manner, hazardous substances can enter the groundwater and thus the food chain during weathering, or flora and fauna can be poisoned for years. If you replace the appliance with a new one, the seller is legally obliged to accept the old one for disposal at least free of charge.

When disposing of the unit, the relevant regulations on the disposal of used oil must be followed.

Electrical or electronic equipment that is damaged and/or needs to be disposed of must be handed in at the recycling points provided for this purpose.
