Aktobis AG WDH-IFH15 15kW Power Fan Heater User Guide

Dear Customer,
You have chosen a high-quality product. To ensure that you get a lot of enjoyment from this product, here are a few more tips:

Information relevant to energy consumption:
This product is only suitable for well-insulated rooms or for occasional use.

In case of any problems:
We hope that the unit meets your expectations! If, despite the greatest possible care, there should ever be cause for complaint, please contact us briefly, as we are very concerned about your satisfaction and would like to clear up any misunderstanding.

During the first operation:

As the heating elements are covered with a light film of oil at the factory for reasons of protection, you will notice a slight smell of burning and possibly also some smoke during the first operation. This is quite normal at first and is caused by the fact that the oil film is now burnt by the heating elements during operation.

Instructions for use

Commissioning

You need a suitable power cable for connection. This connection cable is not included in the scope of delivery, please use a connection cable with the following specification for this purpose

Five-pole power connection 380V/415V (50/60Hz, 32A)
Five-core power cable H07RN-F (5G4 mm²)
Five-pole power plug 380V/415V (50/60Hz, 32A)

Connect the power cable properly to the heater. To do this, open the protective flap of the five-pole power connection (see Fig. 1).
Connection instruction
Now connect the plug head of the power cable to the socket provided for this purpose on your heater (see Fig. 2). It is important that the power connection is firmly seated in the connection socket (4) and that the nipple of the protective flap engages in the recess provided in the heater (3). Finally, connect the power plug (5) properly to a power socket.
Connection instruction

Select the desired unit power with the operating power adjustment knob (left-hand knob).

| = Off
---|---

| = Fan operation

| = Level 1 (low operating power with 5 kW heating power)

| = Level 2 (medium operating strength with 10 kW heating output)
| = Level 3 (highest operating strength with 15 kW heating power)

Now set the desired temperature switch-off point (0 ~ 40° C) with the steeples thermostat control dial (righthand knob). It is best to do this as follows: Turn the thermostat knob to the highest temperature (MAX.) and let the heater run until your desired temperature value is reached. Now turn (adjust) the control downwards towards the minimum until the heating function switches off automatically. Now leave the control dial (thermostat) in this position and whenever it gets colder in the room, the heating rod automatically starts to heat and when the adjusted temperature is reached again, the heating rod automatically switches off again!

Note: The fan of the heater is not controlled by the thermostat. If the selected target temperature is reached, the heating element switches off automatically, but the fan continues to run !

Switch off

To switch off the unit, turn the stepless thermostat control knob (right-hand knob) to minimum (MIN) and let the unit run in fan mode for about 5 minutes to allow it to cool down. Afterwards, also turn the operating strength adjustment knob to “0” to switch off the unit completely.

Manually resetting the high-voltage heater

In case of malfunction of the heater, e.g. no heat output, overheating or other problems, the following procedure is recommended:

Unplug the heater from the mains and let it cool down if necessary.
Check that the operating strength adjustment knob is in the OFF position and the thermostat control dial is turned to MIN.
Take a pointed pen/object and press the reset button until you hear a short click (see fig.). This resets or zeroes the electrical system of the heater.
Now you can reconnect the heater to the mains plug and the heater should work properly again.

Cleaning & Storage

Always unplug the heater from the mains and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning it.
