Aktobis AG WDH-BGP10S Power Heater with Hose Connection

Dear Customer,
You have chosen a high-quality product. To ensure that you get a lot of enjoyment from this product, here are a few more tips:

  • Information relevant to energy consumption:
    This product is only suitable for well-insulated rooms or for occasional use.

  • In case of any problems:
    We hope that the unit meets your expectations! If, despite the greatest possible care, there should ever be cause for complaint, please contact us briefly, as we are very concerned about your satisfaction and would like to clear up any misunderstanding.

  • During the first operation:
    As the heating elements are covered with a light film of oil at the factory for reasons of protection, you will notice a slight smell of burning and possibly also some smoke during the first operation. This is quite normal at first and is caused by the fact that the oil film is now burnt by the heating elements during operation.

Important safety instructions

  • The heater is not suitable for use outdoors or in other wet or damp environments !

  • Please note that the heater can become very hot during operation, so keep a sufficient distance from flammable or easily combustible objects at all times !

  • Do not place the heater directly next to a power socket !

  • Only qualified personnel or electricians are allowed to open the unit !

  • Make sure that no moisture gets into or onto the unit !

  • Only use the recommended voltage for operating the unit !

  • Make sure that the power cable is unfolded (untied) before connecting it to the socket !

  • Never reach near the plug or socket with wet hands !

  • Do not repair defective or damaged cables on the unit yourself, you could get a severe electric shock !

  • Make sure that highly flammable substances (e.g. gases/oils etc.) are never in the vicinity of the unit !

  • If the connecting cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazards.

  • This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

  • If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, switch it off and disconnect the mains plug !
    Please switch off the unit immediately and disconnect it from the power supply if anything seems to be wrong! In this case, please contact a specialist and do not try to repair the unit yourself!
    Examples: Fan does not run during operation or fuse has blown.

Mounting the carrying handle

  • To reduce the volume, the carrying handle is dismantled on a new unit.
  • The following accessories are included for the transport handle assembly:
    • 1 x Carrying handle
    • 2 x connecting screw
    • 2 x spring washer
    • 2 x washer
  • Take the carrying handle and fit it over the upper screw holes on your fan heater. Now put the spring washer over each connecting screw. Then put the washer over the connecting screw. Now insert the screw from above through the carrying handle into the connecting holes provided. Now tighten both connecting screws properly. Done!

Instructions for use

Commissioning

  • Insert the mains plug properly into the socket.

  • Select the desired unit power with the operating power adjustment knob (left-hand knob).

    • 0= Off
    • = Fan operation (cold blower)
    • = Heating mode (operating strength with 5,000 W heating power)
    • = Heating mode (operating strength with 10,000 W heating power)
  • Now set the desired temperature switch-off point (0 ~ 40°C) with the thermostat control dial (right-hand knob).
    This is best done as follows: Turn the thermostat knob to the highest temperature (Max.) and let the heater run until your desired temperature value is reached. Now turn (adjust) the control downwards towards the minimum until the heating function switches off automatically. Now leave the control dial (thermostat) in this position and whenever it gets colder in the room, the appliance automatically starts heating and when the adjusted temperature is reached again, the heating element of the appliance automatically switches off again!

  • The fan heater is equipped with a cool-down overrun, i.e. if the internal thermostat detects that the temperature inside is too high or even rises again after the unit has been switched off, the unit automatically switches on the fan to cool down (cool-down overrun). This process also occurs when the operating strength adjustment knob is in the “Off” (0) position ! For these reasons, it is important that you do not unplug the unit from the mains for approx. 3-4 minutes after the end of operation !
    Note: The fan of the heater is not controlled by the thermostat. If the selected target temperature is reached, the heating element switches off automatically, but the fan continues to run !

Hose connection / hose discharge

  •  If you want to operate the fan heater with a hose, make sure that it is heat-resistant and has a diameter of at least 305 mm. In addition, we recommend a maximum hose length of 7 metres.
  • When routing the hose, make sure that the hose is not bent/angled too much so that no air/heat build-up can occur. See the following diagram !

Cleaning & Storage
Always unplug the heater from the mains and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning it ! 3.1 Cleaning the housing:

  • Cleaning the housing:
    • Use a soft and damp cloth to clean the outside of the housing.
    • Use only mild cleaning agents to clean your heater, aggressive cleaning agents could damage your appliance !
    • Please make sure that no water gets inside your heater at any time !
  • Storage:
    • We recommend that you repack the unit in its original box for storage.
    • Store the heater in a dry and sufficiently ventilated place/space.

Other operating instructions

  • Do not disconnect the mains plug by pulling on the power cable !
  • Do not use insect repellent, oil spray, paint spray, etc. near the heater. This may cause damage to the unit or even fire !
  • Do not place the appliance on sloping or uneven ground !
  • Please always keep a sufficient distance to the wall to avoid possible overheating of the appliance.
  • For an effective and economical heating operation, please close all doors and windows in the room of the heater !

Troubleshooting

  • The fan heater only provides “lukewarm” performance
  • The outlet temperature depends on the inlet temperature. As a rule, this is approx. 15-20°C above the inlet temperature and the room is heated by the fact that the room air is constantly circulated, as with a normal radiator, and the associated repeated heating (heating progression).
  • Should you use the power heater in a very cold room, e.g. in a garage with 5°C or even colder, then it would be normal if the outlet temperature is only “lukewarm”, because the electric heater can of course not heat this air to “hot” in the short time in which the air passes the heating rods. This would only be achievable with a switched-off fan, but the air would then firstly not be distributed evenly in the room and secondly the unit would lose a lot of its overall heating effectiveness.
  • Our devices are regularly tested for quality and effectiveness and cannot be compared with conventional bath heaters, which only have a thin heating wire and usually no integrated fan.
