Behaviors in the event of an emergency

Switch the device off.
In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains
feed-in: Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.

Overheating protection

The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the operating temperature).
Once the safety thermostat has switched itself on, the heating will be turned off. The fan keeps running.
When the device has cooled down sufficiently, the heating will be switched back on.
Investigate the cause of overheating.
If the safety thermostat does not switch in the event of overheating, the overheating protection will be tripped. In that case the device switches off completely. If so, please contact the customer service to have the overheating protection replaced.

Tilt protection

The device comes equipped with a tilt protection. The tilt protection is a safety device intended to minimize the risk of fire in case the device is tipped over inadvertently. The device will be switched off when knocked over (or if its upright position is changed in any other manner).

The tilt protection switches the device off when it is inclined out of its vertical position. The device can again be used as usual only a few seconds after placing it back in vertical position and on solid ground.

Information about the device

Device description

The electric heater serves to generate and distribute warm air, e.g. in interior spaces.
The device generates heat by means of a ceramic heating element. The air surrounding the ceramic heating element is heated. The heated air is blown into the room by a fan.
The device comes with an integrated thermostat and so generates a constant flow of warm air.

The device is fitted with a radial fan to achieve a better heat distribution in the room.
Fan operation without heating function is also possible.
The device is further equipped with an overheating protection and a tilt protection.

Switching the device on

Once you have completely installed the device as described in the chapter Assembly and start-up, you can switch it on.

Info The device will not be switched on until the room temperature falls below the temperature set at the room thermostat. This holds true for the cold setting as well (ventilation only).

Setting the heating level 1. Set the selection switch ventilation and heating levels (5)
to the desired heating level.

Setting the room thermostat 1. Select the desired temperature via the stepless rotary
switch temperature (2) of the room thermostat.

Shutdown

Warning of electrical voltage Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands. · Make sure that the rotary switch temperature (2) is set to a value above room temperature or to MAX to prevent the device from switching off and to allow the fan to run on in order to cool down the device.

Turn the selection switch ventilation and heating levels (5) to the position (ventilation only).
Keep the fan running for 3 minutes before switching the device off.
Turn the rotary switch temperature (2) of the room thermostat all the way to the MIN position.
Switch off the device by setting the selection switch ventilation and heating levels (5) to the 0 position.
Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
Allow the device to cool down completely.
Clean the device according to the Maintenance chapter.
Store the device according to the Transport and storage chapter.

To find the ideal thermostat setting, please proceed as follows:

1. Set the rotary switch temperature (2) to the maximum
temperature.

2. As soon as the desired temperature has been reached,
slowly turn the rotary switch temperature (2) back until the device is switched off. ð The device now automatically maintains the desired temperature level.

The room thermostat controls the room temperature automatically:

When exceeding the set value, both the heating and the
ventilation will be switched off.
When falling below the set value, both the heating and the ventilation will automatically be switched back on.

Info
The desired room temperature should be higher than the current room temperature.
