1. Important Information
Please read with care all of the information provided in
these instructions in a safe place for future reference. Pass
them on to any subsequent purchaser of the unit.
−
The unit is suitable solely for heating the air in a closed
room.
−
Only a qualified electrician should install or repair this
unit.
−
In the event of a fault, disconnect the unit from the
main power supply (switch off or unscrew fuse)
−
Do not cover the unit - fire hazard!
−
Caution! The unit is hot to the touch when in operation.
−
Do not operate the unit unattended if there are small
children in the vicinity.
−
Do not insert objects of any kind through the apertures
in the unit.
−
The unit should be installed so that its controls are out
of reach of anyone in the bathtub or under the shower.
VDE 0100 Part 701 specifies that the unit may not be
installed in the protection zone. Keep the flap over the
controls closed.
−
An isolating device must be provided in the electrical
wiring specified (for example, a miniature circuit-
breaker). It must have a contact gap of at least 3 mm
at each pole.
−
Substances which could lead to ignition or thermal
decomposition inside the unit (for example, carpet or
floor tile adhesives) must not be used unless you are
certain the unit has cooled down to room temperature.
2. Installation, Wiring, Minimum Clearances
The convector may only be installed in a horizontal
position (the control panel must always be at the top).
The convector must be installed in such a way that
flammable objects cannot ignite.
It is permissible to mount the convector on a wooden wall.
The convector must not be mounted directly beneath a
wall power socket.
It is essential that you observe the minimum clearances A,
B and C specified in the installation diagram, particularly
as regards clearances from easily flammable objects.
Make sure that air can flow into or out of the convector
without being obstructed.

The convector is not mounted directly on the wall but
installed in a wall frame.
- Drill the mounting holes for the wall frame.
- Screw the wall frame to the wall.
- Fit the convector in the wall frame using the slots on
the back of the unit.
- Swing the unit up and against the wall, latching it into
the top part of the wall frame.
3. Electrical Connection
In addition to the leads for the electrical power supply (L1
= brown, N = blue, PE = green / yellow) a marked control
wire (black) is provided for external temperature reduction
via an external timer or pilot unit, for example.
See section 8 for circuit diagram.
4. Heating
Switch On/Off
A = Off, no function.
M = On. Thermostat regulates the room temperature to the
value specified at the thermostat knob.
Thermostat
The Heater is equipped with a thermostat which you can use
to set the room temperature you want. The
∗
setting
of the
thermostat is for frost protection. Here the thermostat keeps
the room temperature at around 7°C. A room temperature of
about 21 °C corresponds to a ‘6’ setting on the thermostat
knob.
