1. General information about our surface storage heaters

With our variety of electric surface storage heaters, you can find the right solution for your needs in any spatial situation. The TECHNOTHERM partial thermal-storage heaters are available as additional or transitional heating for all rooms in the living area, with the exception of the special cases stated in the safety instructions. They are designed for continuous operation. Prior to dispatch, all our products undergo an extensive function, safety and quality test. We guarantee a constructive design complying with all currently applicable international, European and German safety standards and rules. You can see this in the labelling of our products with the well-known certification marks: “TÜV-GS”, “SLG-GS”, “Keymark” and “CE”. Our heaters are evaluated in accordance with the internationally applicable lEC-regulations. The manufacture of our heaters is constantly supervised by a state-accredited test centre.

This heater can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by physically, sensory or mentally restricted persons if they are supervised or given instructions on safe use and understand the hazards involved as it does not require any experience or knowledge. This device is not a toy for children to play with! Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be carried out by children without supervision. The use of heat radiators is to be given a particular duty of care by supervisors. Children under the age of 3 are to be kept away unless they are continually supervised. Children between the age of 3 and 8 are only allowed to switch the heater on or off if they are supervised or given instructions on safe use and understand the hazards involved, provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position. Children between the age of 3 and 8 shall not plug in, regulate and clean the heater or perform user maintenance.
Caution: Some parts of the product can become very hot and cause burns. Pay particular attention when children and vulnerable people are present.

6. Assembly instruction

This Manual is very important and has to be kept at a safe place at all times. Be sure to hand this manual to any other succeeding owner of the device. The device comes with a power plug that has to be plugged into an outlet.

The device is designed to be connected to 230V (nominal) alternating current (AC).

7. Wall Installation

When installing the device, the safety distance must be strictly adhered to, so that flammable materials can not ignite. Install the device to a wall which is heat resistant up to 90 ° C.

Due to possible fire hazard the safety distances are observed during assembly:

  • Side walls of the heater to any masonry: 5 cm
  • Side walls of the heater to combustible materials: 10 cm
  • Distance radiator to the floor: 25 cm
  • Arranged spaced upper radiator limit to about components or covers (. Eg window):
    flammable 15 cm
    nonflammable 10 cm

To prevent inflammable materials from catching fire be sure to keep the prescribed safety distance when installing the device. Mount the device to a wall that is fireproof up to 90 °C.

The safety distance to the floor should be 25 cm, and at least 10 cm to all other devices. Furthermore there has to be safety distance of approximately 50 cm between the ventilation grille, windowsills, roof slopes and ceilings.

If you want to install the device in your bathroom, be sure to keep it out of reach for people taking a shower or a bath.

When mounting the device to the wall, be sure to keep to the dimensions as indicated in the illustration on page 11. Drill two or three (if available) 7 mm holes and attach the corresponding plug. Then screw the 4 x 25 mm screws into the holes, leaving a distance of 1-2mm between the head of the screw and the wall.

Hang the device in the two or three fittings and tighten it down. See also the additional mounting information at the following pages!
