1. Switch off the device.
2. In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains feed-in: Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
3. Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.

Overheating protection
The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the operating temperature).
Investigate the cause of overheating.
If the safety thermostat does not switch in the event of overheating, the overheating protection will be tripped. In that case, the device switches off completely. If so, please contact customer service to have the overheating protection replaced.

Information about the device

Device description
The device serves to generate and to distribute warm air, speeding up drying processes, and defrosting frozen materials. It can be used either in closed rooms or in dry outdoor areas.
The heating element generates warmth. The air surrounding the heating element is heated. The heated air is distributed in the room by the fan.
The device TDE 25 is equipped with a heating level that is activated immediately after connecting the mains plug. The devices TDE 65 and TDE 95 are equipped with a fan stage and three heating levels instead which can be adjusted by means of a selection switch.
The devices are further equipped with overheating protection.
The device is suitable for tough requirements and therefore suited for use on construction sites (heating and construction drying), in greenhouses or in other commercial areas,  e.g. for drying earthenware. Besides, the device is suited for continuous operation.
