Important information for your safety

• The infrared radiator has been produced under the applicable safety rules and regulations. However, hazards may arise during use.
• Therefore adhere to the following safety information and the specific warning notices in the individual chapters.

Intended use

• The infrared radiator is used to heat people’s bodies and/or to heat an infrared cabin.
• The infrared radiator may only be operated in combination with a control unit that features an automatic heating time limiter.
• Any use exceeding this scope is considered improper use. Improper use can result in damage to the product, severe injuries, or death.

Safety information

• The clamping connections may only be installed by a qualified electrician or a similarly qualified person.
• The plug connectors may be installed by the user.
• Installation and connection work on the infrared radiator may only be performed when the power supply is disconnected.
• Also, comply with the regulations applicable at the installation location. The specifications in EN 60335-2-53 (VDE 0700 Part 53) must be complied with.
• Ensure that the infrared radiator is not exposed to any mechanical stress, as this will result in breakage. A radiator with a glass front or radiator element that is broken may no longer be used.
• The glass or the radiator element must be replaced (for the item number, Technical data)
• When positioning and installing the infrared radiator, the mini-mum safety distances must be complied with.
• The radiator satisfies the requirements per IPX2. For splashproof installation under IPX4, the edge of the infrared radiator must be fitted with a veneer (e.g: stainless steel panel,
• Radiators must not be installed in a steam bath.
• For your safety, consult your supplier in the event of problems that are not described in sufficient detail in the user instructions.
• Make sure that no flammable objects have been placed on or suspended in front of the infrared radiator before the control unit is switched on.
• Never touch the glass on the infrared radiator when it is operating. The glass on the infrared radiator becomes very hot. Depending on the user function, contact protection may need to be installed (e.g: wooden backrest, protective grille.
• The device must not be used by children under 8 years of age.
• The device may only be used by children over 8 years of age, by persons with limited psychological, sensory, or mental capabilities, or by persons with lack of experience/knowledge under the following conditions:
• They are supervised.
• They have been shown how to use the device safely and are aware of the hazards that could occur.
• Children must not play with the device.
• Children under 14 years of age may only clean the device if they are supervised.
• If you are affected by a limited sensitivity to heat or are under the influence of alcohol, medication, or drugs, refrain from using the infrared radiator for health reasons.
• If persistent erythema (reddening of the skin for more than one day) or mottled skin discoloration occurs after regular exposure to infrared radiation, do not repeat the exposure and consult a doctor to prevent it from developing into the more serious condition erythema abigne.
• It is not advisable to use the infrared radiator within 24 hours of exposing your skin to ultraviolet radiation from an artificial source or sunbathing.
• If in doubt, people at risk of hyperthermia, such as those who suffer from cardiovascular conditions, should consult a doctor before using a thermal cabin.
• For your safety, consult your supplier in the event of problems that are not described in sufficient detail in the user instructions.

Correct placement

Application as:

• Back radiator: 350 W, 500 W
• Front radiator: 350 W, 500 W, or 750 W
• Ceiling radiator: 750 W, 1300 W
• According to EN 60335-2-53, an infrared thermal cabin with a 20 cm x 20 cm grid of averaged irradiation must not exceed 1000 W/m² on a person’s chest and back (note that this limit relates to the prevention of heat stress).
• To ensure that this limit is not exceeded, only a 350 W or 500 W radiator may be used as a back radiator. Furthermore, when positioning the back radiator, ensure that the distance from the person’s back to the radiator does not exceed 4 cm.
• Only 350 W, 500 W, or 750 W radiators may be used as front radiators. Ensure that the minimum distance between the upper body and front radiator is not less than 50 cm (in picture „x“)
• To ensure that the ICNIRP limit values for the long-term limit value of 100 W/m² for the “infrared eye” is not exceeded, the radiators must be moved down (in picture„Y“).
• Detailed information can be found in the appraisals LE-G18/3 and LE-G31/18 conducted by Seibersdorf Laboratories.

Installation and connection

• WARNING! The danger of electric shock
• Only perform installation and connection work on the infrared radiator when the power supply has been disconnected.
• The radiator is delivered with a plug already installed. The plug-in connector may also be installed by the user.
• If the radiator connection is integrated into a control unit, remove the plug. The clamp connection may only be installed by a qualified electrician or a similarly qualified person.
• The rear of the radiator must NOT be covered to ensure that the heat generated can escape through the openings.
• The ventilation slots at the top and bottom must NOT be covered (see Fig. 1)
• To ensure that the thermal fuse functions correctly, the terminal box for the radiator must be at the top when the radiator is installed vertically (e.g. back radiator) (see Fig. 14).
