Appliance description

The appliance only warms the air slightly. It is only when it hits objects or the human body that the IR radiation is converted into heat. You will feel the heat after just a few seconds.
The appliance therefore provides energy-saving heat, which is available quickly and on-demand at any time.

Operation

When the indicator shows stage 0, the appliance is off.
To start the appliance, pull the cord down vertically.
The indicator then switches from “0”to “1”. You can select two other heating stages. To do this, pull the cord again for each stage.
To switch the appliance off, keep pulling the cord down until the indicator shows “0” again.

Cleaning, care and maintenance

Never spray the appliance with water.
Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and leave it to cool down.
A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the casing. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents! Go over with a soft cloth.
If the reflector is extremely dirty, arrange for it to be cleaned by a heating contractor to retain the full heat radiation of the .

What to do if the appliance does not radiate any heat

Keep pulling the cord until you get to stage 0. Then start the appliance (see chapter Operation).

Installation information

Wood ceilings may become hot even if the minimum clearances are observed. Dark spots or fine shrinkage cracks on wooden ceilings may therefore occur.
Never install the appliance directly below a socket.

Installation conditions and preparations

Only install the appliance in a fixed position, horizontally on the wall. Never install the appliance on the ceiling.
Install the appliance with the pull cord at the bottom. The appliance can only be pivoted downwards.
Always maintain the specified minimum clearances. Install the appliance so that the pull cord cannot be reached from the shower or the bath.

Power cable

Below plaster:
The connection must be in the area of the mounting panel.
Above plaster:
Feed the electrical power cable into the mounting panel via the cable grommet. If installation conduit projects 3.5 to 4 cm into the mounting panel, the cable grommet is not required.

Power supply
Observe the minimum size of the power cable, which can be found in the chapter Specification.

WARNING

Electrocution Carry out all electrical connection and installation work in accordance with relevant regulations.
Remove the polystyrene inserted into the grille as transport protection.

A

Undo both screws on the pivot hinge of the mounting panel.
Undo the two screws on the panel cover above the terminals and remove the cover. This releases the pivot limiter and you can then tilt the appliance forwards.

B

Mark the fixing holes on the wall.
Drill the holes and then insert rawl plugs.
Secure the appliance to the wall using the screws supplied or other suitable fixing material.
If you have installed the power cable on a finished wall, insert the cable grommet into the circular panel hole on the connection side. Route the power cable through the cable grommet.
Insert the cap into the opposite circular panel hole, or into both panel holes if you have installed the power cable on an unfinished wall.
Connect the cable to the free terminals on the appliance.
Pivot the appliance upwards. Refit and secure the panel cover. This protects the connection space and limits the pivoting range to approx. 30°.
Adjust the tilt angle as appropriate and secure the pivoting mechanism by tightening both screws previously undone.

Appliance handover

Explain the functions of the appliance to the user. Draw special attention to the safety instructions. Hand over the operating and installation instructions to the user.
