WARNING:
To avoid overheating, DO NOT COVER the heater.
The heating appliance should not be placed immediately under a socket outlet.
Avoid using extension cords as these can cause overheating and cause a fire
hazard. However, in the case of using an extension cord, the cable must have a
section 1.5mm² / 16 AWG minimum size and that support a power not less than
2600w in the case of powers up to 2600w, and section 2.5mm² / 14 AWG of
minimum size and that supports a minimum power of 3400w for powers from 2600w.
This appliance is intended to be permanently connected. The power supply
circuit of the equipment must incorporate an omnipolar cut-off switch with a
contact separation of at least 3 mm.
The connection cables of the heater itself must not come into contact with the
surface of the appliance, and in the event that they can come into contact,
they must be protected with an insulating cover that has an adequate
temperature level.
The equipment must not be installed in places where there is a risk of
splashing water, such as bathtubs, sinks, etc. The equipment must be installed
in such a way that the switches, thermostat, power socket, cannot be directly
or indirectly touched by a person in the bathtub or shower (adhere the
prohibited distances according to REBT).
If the power cable is damaged, it can only be replaced by an authorised
person, in order to avoid risks. If during the installation and assembly of
the appliance, a part of the thermal insulation or resistance shows damage or
deterioration that impairs the safety of the appliance, it must be replaced by
an identical part.
Before carrying out any operation inside the appliance, do not forget to
disconnect the power supply.
Contact with the core temperature probe can cause an electrical hazard. The
probe cannot be manipulated, moved or touched.
Never open the appliance while it is charged.
The presence in the environment of tobacco smoke or suspended parti-cles,
atmospheric pollution, etc., could darken the wall surfaces near the storage
heater Always observe the safety measures when placing the heater on the wall.
The electrical installation must have a switch with fuses or magnetothermic
protection. Likewise, a differential protection against ground faults is
advisable.
The voltage and frequency values of the power supply must be the same as those
indicated on the nameplate.
It is possible that the radiator could create slight noises at the beginning
of its operation, it is something normal due to expansions and contractions.
As the days go by, this noise disappears.
After the appliance has been reinstalled in another location, it should be put
into operation for the first charging period under the control of the
installer.
Given the weight of the heater with the bricks, it must be taken into account
that both the wall and the supporting floor have sufficient strength, in case
of doubt consult your technician. To maintain stability, it is essential that
the heater is located on a level surface and care must be taken to avoid
uneven surfaces, such as those that can result from carpets or tiled surfaces
that partially bulge under the heater.

You have discarded the previous points and the anomaly remains.
| It is possible that the power of your equipment is not well dimensioned for
the needs of the premises. Consult your installer or call our S.A.T.
Heat excess| Check the selected temperature.| Reduce the load to a lower
level.
You have discarded the previous points and the anomaly remains.| Consult your
installer or call our S.A.T.
**Stains appear on the wall *| There is construction residue, dust, etc …
in the vicinity of the accumulator.| I cleaned extensively around the
equipment daily.
You have pets| Keep them away from the environment of the appliance,
especially during hair change times.
You has wool rugs, carpets, etc. near the appliance.| Keep them as far away
from the accumulator as possible.
It may be that the paint in your home has a high epoxy content or that its
composition contains pigments that degrade with heat.| This situation will be
checked if by passing a damp cloth over the stain it does not disappear.
You live on the lower floors of an urban building located in a busy area.| Try
to keep windows closed as long as possible.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Can it work only with a night rate plug?| | It is designed to be
powered with a single hose and a daytime plug (24 hours) to be able to
calculate the necessary load in the core and its optimization in electricity
consumption. Could it work on a night socket? The answer would be yes, but it
would not be possible to optimize electricity consumption since it would
charge continuously until it reached 100%.
What is the build- up resistor? and What is the emission resistance?|
| The accumulation resistance is that emitted by the core resistors and the
emission resistance is that emitted by the auxiliary resistance.
Where is the switchboard connected?| | It can be plugged into the
router directly or into a plug (with usb adapter). The operation is as
follows: the electronics are connected to the switchboard creating a network
and then the electronics are connected to the Wi-Fi of the house. The usb will
ask for the wifi key to access.
How do they affect and what are the temperatures in comfort, moon
and antifreeze mode?| | In charging mode, the comfort temperature is
to stop charging once the set temperature is exceeded by two degrees and when
the auxiliary heater is working, it stops when the set temperature is
exceeded.
What is TRUE RADIANT for?**| | This is to anticipate the activation of
the auxiliary resistance depending on the history of how long it takes to
reach the set temperature.
- The accumulators do not have any combustible element, the appearance of stains on the wall is rare, and is always due to environmental factors, highlighting those outlined above.
The combustion of these elements, dust, hair, etc. they generate the residue that is deposited on the wall..
Reminder:
To enjoy the functions of wireless wifi technology such as voice control,
geolocation or real-time reading of the consumption of your equipment, you
must purchase the USB multilink that is not included.
