Description
The frost protector is an electrical convector heater. It is fitted with a thermostat for the correct
temperature and a safeguard against overheating. A control lamp lights up when the frost
protector starts to heat up. The thermostat controls the room temperature and switches the
heater on or off as necessary. The built-in fixture for guarding against overheating switches the
unit off if too hot and switches itself on again after the unit has cooled down. The heater is
always ready for use. To switch off the frost protector, pull out the plug at the mains or turn off
the permanently installed disconnecting switch (e.g. automatic cut-out, installation switch etc.)
Mounting and electrical connection
Refer to the figures on the last pages. Be aware of keeping to the minimum distances
specified. Fix the mounting fixture to the wall (see figure). Two dowels and matching screws
are included on delivery. Drill the holes on the wall according to the distances specified in fig.
3. Use the bracket as a template for the 2 upper holes. Insert the raw plugs and screws (you
will find them inside the box) and then fix the wall bracket you find on the back of this item.
Then hang the heater to the bracket and drill the side screw which fixes the appliance to the
bracket.
After connecting the plug to the socket the heater is now ready for use.
The frost protector can also be permanently connected to the power supply by means of a
suitable junction box. This must only be carried out by a specialist. Protective conductor
necessary! It must be ensured that heaters which are permanently connected to the power
supply can be cut off by means of a disconnecting device with a minimum 3 mm contact gap
(e.g. automatic cut-out, installation switch, contactor etc.).
•
Do not use this heater with a programmer, timer, separate remote-control
system or any other device that switches the heater on automatically,
since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
•
Attention: The unit is ready for use even when at the lowest setting level.
In order to switch off the frost protector, pull out the power supply plug or
turn off the permanently installed disconnecting switch (e.g. automatic
cut-out, installation switch etc.).
