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

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.
