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 the customer service to have the overheating protection replaced.

Tilt protection
The device comes equipped with a tilt protection. The tilt protection is a safety device intended to minimize the risk of fire in case the device is tipped over inadvertently. The device will be switched off when knocked over (or if its upright position is changed in any other manner).
The tilt protection switches the device off when it is inclined out of its vertical position. The device can again be used as usual only a few seconds after placing it back in vertical position and on solid ground.

Information about the device

Device description
The oil-filled radiator TRH 25 E / TRH 26 E is used to generate warm air for interior spaces.
The TRH 25 E / TRH 26 E comes with 3 power levels of up
to 2,500 W.
The heat electrically generated by the heating elements within the device is absorbed by the heating medium oil. The heating medium oil offers the advantages of quick heat-up and long-term heat storage capacity. On these grounds the heating medium oil can guarantee a continuous heat emission. The radiator’s 11 fins increase the heat radiating surface and so enhance its effectiveness.
The devices are further equipped with an overheating protection and a tilt protection.
The TRH 25 E and TRH 26 E are structurally identical except for the colour. The TRH 25 E is black, the TRH 26 E is white.

The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.
The device makes noises after switch-on:

The heating medium oil expands due to heating. This is what causes the noise. It is a perfectly normal process. No measures are required.

The device does not start:

• Check the power connection.

• Check the power cable and mains plug for damage. If you notice damages, do not try to take the device back into operation.
  If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Check the on-site fusing.

• Check the room temperature. The room thermostat may have switched off, because the desired room temperature has been reached.

• Check whether the device is standing upright and on level ground. The tilt protection may have been tripped owing to the fact that the device was knocked over. Always put up the device in an upright position on a suitable, sufficiently dimensioned surface.

• The room thermostat might be defective. Have a defective room thermostat replaced by a specialist electrical company.

• Check whether the overheating protection has tripped (see chapter Safety).

• Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device is switched on, but the heating is not operating:

• Check the room temperature. The room thermostat may have switched off, because the desired room temperature has been reached.
• Check whether the overheating protection has tripped (see chapter Safety).
• The heating resistor might have blown. Have a defective heating resistor replaced by a specialist electrical company.
• The room thermostat might be defective. Have a defective room thermostat replaced by a specialist electrical company.

The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:

• Check whether the distance between remote control and device is too large and reduce it if necessary.
•  Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or walls, between the device and the remote control. Ensure visual contact between device and remote control.
• Check the charging status of the batteries and change them if required.
• If the batteries have just been changed, check them for correct polarity.

Note
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.

The device still does not operate correctly after these checks:
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorised specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
