Safety instructions
Read the following instructions carefully before using the device. Keep these operating instructions in a safe place.
CAUTION!
Risk of physical injury to people and animals and material damage if used incorrectly!
• Ensure that the device is only used be people who have the professional skills required to do so.
• Keep out of the reach of children and frail people.
• The heating plate is not a room-heating device; its heating effect can only be felt locally in the immediate vicinity
of the surface.
• The surface of the heating plate warms up and gets hot. (maximum temperature approx. 45 °C)
• Do not place the heating plate on objects or surfaces that are sensitive to heat.
• Ensure that no flammable or easily combustible materials are placed near the heating plate. (Maintain a minimum
distance of around 500 mm.)
• Check the operating voltage specified on the power pack. Only operate the device at the mains voltage specified.
• If technical data on the heating plate (type plate) and power pack is or becomes illegible, do not use it.
• For the safety of humans, animals and property, the device must only be connected to mains sockets that are fused
separately with a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB).
• All electrical supply lines must be routed so that they are protected from the risk of being bitten and are not accessible
to animals. Only use bite-resistant materials.
• The transformer must be attached so that it is protected from animal bites, as well as outside the area that can be
reached by splashed water. Recommendation: move the transformer outside the stable or at a height of at least
120 cm above the floor.
• Do not allow electrical supply cables to come into contact with oil or sharp edges.
• Do not allow to come into contact with materials that attack rubber.
• Check the function of the heating plate before the first frost.
• Do not use the heating plate or alternatively take it out of operation quickly if the solid rubber jacket or connection
cable is damaged.
• Do not try to repair a damaged supply cable yourself. The supply cable can only be replaced by the manufacturer.
• Do not expose the heating plate to any compressive force with sharp or pointed objects.
• Do not pull the plug out of the socket using the cable and do not carry the heating plate around by its cable.
• Always remove the mains plug from the socket before moving or cleaning the heating plate.
• Only use the original power pack supplied with the heating plate.
• Do not immerse in water.
• Note the maintenance and cleaning instructions.
Correct use
The heating plate is primarily intended for maintaining nest heat after hatching /
birth and for maintaining the animals‘ body temperature in cold weather. It is
also used to heat and keep poultry troughs free from frost. Any other use shall
be deemed incorrect. In the event of the incorrect use of, tampering with or
modifications to the device, the manufacturer‘s warranty and liabilities shall be
deemed invalid.
Function
The heating plate contains an electric heating conductor that evenly warms up
the solid rubber sheath. The heating plate can be used indoors or out and can
be used to keep animals warm as well as heat various materials.
