Installation
ATTENTION! Do not set up the device directly below a wall socket.
ATTENTION! Only set up the device on a horizontal, stable surface.
The minimum clearances must be observed. In addition, a clearance of 750 mm is to be maintained in front of the unit. The supply connection socket must be accessible after installation. Make sure that the inflow and outflow of air at the top and bottom of the device are unimpeded.
Installation of the supporting feet
Do not install the heating device without the feet supplied. The two
mounting screws for the supporting feet are located on the bottom of the
device.
- Loosen the mounting screws.
- Engage the supporting feet as shown in the illustration and tighten the screws.
Electrical connection
- The voltage specified on the type plate must match the line voltage.
- The cable must not be in contact with the casing.
- The device must only be repaired by a qualified electrician in accordance with the applicable safety regulations.
- Connect the device directly to an earthed socket. Do not use an extension cable
- The plug must always be accessible in case of emergencies.
Operation
Both models have two rotary knobs. The top rotary knob can be used to select
three or four heating levels depending on the model:
The room temperature is regulated using the infinitely adjustable thermostat (bottom rotary knob). If the rotary knob is set to the lowest setting i.e. to the extreme left, the thermostat switches the heating device on at an ambient temperature of approx. 5 °C.
Overload protector
For your safety, the heating device is equipped with an overload protector. If the air circulation is interrupted (e.g. due to the air grille being covered or closed), the device switches off automatically. In this case, the power supply to the heating device should be disconnected for a few minutes (switch off the fuse) to allow the device to cool down sufficiently. Before recommissioning the device, remove the reasons for the overload protector being triggered.
Maintenance
The device must be disconnected from the mains and allowed to cool down before maintenance. Clean the outside of the device using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use scouring powder or furniture polish as this may damage the surface. Dust which gathers inside the device can be removed from the outside using a vacuum cleaner.
Faults
If the heating device is not emitting any heat, check the following points:
- Has the heating level been selected?
- Has the thermostat been set to the desired temperature?
- Has the overload protector been triggered?
- Is the fuse in the switch box switched on? If you cannot remedy the fault, please contact your electrical retailer. The retailer will require the product number (E no.) and the production date (FD) of the device. This information is listed on the type plate.
Warranty
This product is supplied with a two-year warranty according to our terms of guarantee.
