E3A10 Design Radiators

1.1 Permissible use
The radiator may only be used for heating interior spaces and for drying textiles. Textiles may only be hung on the designated hangers (towel rail).
Any other use is contrary to the intended purpose and therefore not permissible.
Misuse
The radiator is not suitable to sit on or as a climbing aid or for accessing heights.

• Read these instructions thoroughly prior to installation/initial operation.
• After installation, hand over the instruc- tions to the end consumer.
• Observe separate instructions for the heating fan.

Danger
Life-threatening situation!

• Check the condition of the supply lines (electricity, gas, water).
• Do not drill into any of the lines.
• Only install and connect the unit when it is de-energised.

Warning
Risk of injury!

• Note the radiator’s weight (see page 8).
• At 25  kg and above, the work should be carried out with a lifting device or by several persons.

Warning
Personal injury and material damage!

• Check the base for adequate carrying capacity.
• Note the radiator’s weight (see page 8) and any possible additional load.
• Check fixing material is suitable and match it to the structural situation.
• Special requirements, e.g. for public buildings (schools or similar), must be taken into account.

2.2 Conditions of use

• Do not connect the radiator to the heating system.
• When installing in rooms with bath or shower facilities: comply with protective areas according to national installation standards (in Germany DIN VDE 0100-701). Also follow all local regulations.
• Electrical equipment is permitted in the aforementioned rooms if it is protected by a residual current protective device (RCD) (in Germany according to DIN EN 61008-1 (VDE 0664-10)).
• The switch in the bathroom needs to be installed so that it cannot be operated from the bathtub or when in the shower.
• Sockets may only be installed outside safety areas.

• Recommendation according to IEC standard  60335-2-43: To prevent any risk to small children, install the radiator so that the bottom edge is at least 600 mm above the floor.
• During installation, a residual-current-operated protective device (with trigger limit less than or equal to 30 mA) must be provided on-site.
• If a unit is connected directly to the fixed electrical installations: incorporate a disconnecting device in accordance with the local regulations for mains disconnection.
• Only operate the radiator with the approved voltage (see nameplate).
• Store and transport radiator only in the protective foil.

2.3 Technical features
Electrical connection:
– Heating rod is pre-installed in the manifold pipe and heating fan.
– Connection using the heating fan’s connection cable.
Test pressure: 13 bar
Fill: non-combustible, non-toxic heat transfer liquid
Operating mode: electric operation, irrespective of the heating system, with controls on the heating fan.
2.4 Directions for installation
Number of fixing points:
The number of fixing points was determined and checked on vertically cored lightweight brick T14.

• Set the radiator down in such a way that it is not damaged.
• Do not roll the cable.
• Ensure that a correctly mounted unit connection box or wall socket (230  V, 16  A fuse) is available within the cable range.
