• Clean the equipment according to the instructions in the section before putting it into
operation “Commissioning” or “Start-up” “Before Use”.
• Never clean the device (body with electrical parts and control panel) and power cord with
plug in a manner that could cause liquid to flow into the device. Only clean these parts with a
damp cloth and wipe dry or allow to dry.
• Clean the machine only when it is turned off and unplugged.
There is a risk of serious injury!
There is a risk of electric shock! There is a risk of fire!
Location/Installation
• The device is designed for use as a portable or wall mount (depending on model). Attach the
appliance to the building components of the living area - only in accordance with the technical
characteristics of the building components, safety fire protection measures and installation
instructions.
• Use the machine only in its working position (upright and with the rack or legs correctly
installed) and on a flat surface where there is no risk of tipping over.
Warning! Read carefully.
• An electric heat appliance or electric heater designed for heating can be installed on the floor
of a firefighting class A1fl or A2fl. These technical building materials are classified as non-
combustible according to a single European classification system (where index fl means “floor
- floor”). From the selected materials we mention e.g. stone paving, ceramic tiles, concrete
etc.
• The Bfl, Cfl, Dfl, Efl or Ffl reaction-fire floor can only be installed with an insulating pad.
From the selected materials we mention e.g. floorboards, OSB boards, beech parquet, PVC,
laminate floating flooring, linoleum, polyamide carpets and the like. The insulating pad must
be made of a material of reaction class A1 or A2 with a thickness of at least 1 mm, in normal
operation resistant to mechanical loads. The insulating pad must overlap the appliance by at
least 150 mm on each side.
• An electro-thermal appliance or electric heater designed for heating can be located and
installed close to the B, C, D, B, C, D, E or F only with protective screen. The protective
screen shall be made of materials of reaction class A1 or A2 of at least 3 mm thickness. The
protective screen must be at least 30 mm away from building structures, protected items or
materials. The protective screen must extend beyond the contour of the appliance by at least
300 mm above its top edge and at least 150 mm from the side edges.
• If a protective screen is placed between the appliance and construction or protected items,
the set safety distance can be reduced by no more than half.
• Place the electrical heating appliance intended for heating without a protective screen only at
a safe distance from the building structures of the B, C, D, E or F fire reaction materials and
flammable objects and flammable substances. Maintain a safe distance of at least 200 mm in
all directions.
• Place the electric heater designed for heating without a protective screen only at a safe
distance from the building structures of the fire-reaction class B materials, C, D, E or F and
flammable objects and flammable substances. Maintain a safe distance of at least 800 mm
in the direction of heat radiation, at least 400 mm from the top edge and at least 200 mm in
other directions.
From the selected materials we mention eg. untreated wood and the like.
• Do not place or install an electrical appliance or electric heater on a bathroom, washroom or
shower unless the safety requirements for electrical equipment and electrical installations in
these areas are met.
• If the bathroom in the living space is sufficiently spacious and meets the requirements for
division into zones, the location and use of electrical equipment is only possible with regard to
the safety requirements set for these areas.
• The electric heat appliance or electric infrared heater can only be placed in the bathroom
outside the 0-1-2 zone.
• The device must be installed in such a way that switches and other controls are not within
reach of a person from the bathtub or shower enclosure.
• Consult a qualified electrician for more detailed information on the requirements for
installation and use of electrical equipment in the washing area.
• The equipment must be installed in accordance with the national and local safety regulations
applicable to the connection of electrical equipment with protective grounding. To provide
additional protection against the risk of electric shock, it is recommended that a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated tripping current not exceeding 30 mA.
