supply. Deactivate or remove fuse.

- Do not cover the heater as there is a risk of
fire!

- Caution! The outside of the appliance gets
hot when in use.

- The appliance is not intended for use by children or other
persons not capable of using the heater in a safe manner.
Children must be prevented from playing with the
appliance.

- Do not insert any object through the heater inlet and outlet
openings.

- Do not use the heater in areas where flammable
substances are stored or used (e.g. solvents, etc.).

- Keep the mains lead away from the hot body of the heater.

- Caution! If the appliance is switched on automatically
while unattended, potential hazards may exist, e.g.
appliances that have been covered or obstructed in your
absence may pose a risk of fire.

2. Mounting, Installation, Minimum Clearances

The heater must be installed in a horizontal position on a
vertical wall as shown in the illustration.

It must be ensured that the airflow is not obstructed by
keeping the air inlet and outlet openings at the bottom and the
top of the heater free

.

The heater must be installed in such a way that switches and
other controls cannot be touched by the person using the bath
or the shower.

Do not install the heater immediately below a power socket.
The electrical connection box must be accessible after the

heater has been mounted. Be careful of flammable objects!
It is absolutely necessary that the minimum clearances

indicated in the mounting diagram be maintained. Beyond
that, a clearance space of at least 500 mm is to be allowed in
front of the appliance.

Wall Mounting

IMPORTANT- The original wall mounting bracket supplied,
located at the back of the heater, must be used.

- Drill the fixing holes for the wall mounting bracket.

- Firmly secure bracket to the wall using suitable screws.

- Insert heater in wall bracket making use of the slots on the
back of the heater.

- Snap heater in place at the top of the wall bracket.

3. Electrical Connection

It is imperative that the current regulations acc. to VDE 0100
Part 701 as well as the relevant installation instructions be
adhered to. The heaters are fitted with a power supply cable
without plug. The supply cord must be connected to a
connection box dedicated to the heater. The hardwired
electrical installation must be provided with a disconnect
device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm at each pole (e.g.
automatic circuit breaker).

3.1 Temperature Setback Using a Pilot Wire

To set back the temperature adjusted on the thermostat (by
5° C) the black pilot wire circuit is controlled by an external
electrical contact with any phase , e.g. a timer. Any ancillary
appliances connected via the pilot wire are controlled in the
same way.

3.2 Automatic Turning On and Off

If a programming cassette (accessory) is used for automatic
switching on and off, any additional appliances which are
connected to the black pilot wire will be controlled in the same
manner.

The pilot wire does not have to be in phase with the mains
connection. A maximum of 10 appliances can be operated via
a common pilot wire.

4.1 Thermostat

The heater is fitted with an electronic thermostat by means of
which the room temperature can be controlled by choosing a
suitable setting. The ∗ setting corresponds to a room
temperature of approx. 6 °C (frost protection setting). To
increase the temperature, move the slide switch to the right.
The left indicator light (A) is illuminated when the heater is in
the heating mode.

4.3 Limiting the Thermostat Setting Range

The setting range of the thermostat can be defined by means
of the two limiting pins (A) provided on the heater rear panel.
One pin each is provided for limiting the upper and lower
value.
The pins can be removed by moving them back and
forth, e.g. by means of flat nose pliers, and be inserted
into the holes in the thermostat.

5. Overheat Protection

The heater is equipped with an overheat protection for your
safety. If the air circulation is impeded, the heater is switched
off by the overheat protection. Once the heater has cooled
sufficiently, it will automatically switch on again.
In the event that the overheat protection trips repeatedly, the
cause of overheating must be determined, e.g. air grille is
covered or obstructed.

For maximum heat output it is essential that you keep the air
inlet and outlet openings free of dust. Clean the heater with a
vacuum cleaner before the start of the heating season!

6.Malfunctions

If there is no heat output from the unit, please check that the
heater is switched on and that the thermostat is set to the
desired temperature. Subsequently check the circuit breaker
on the main service panel, or the fuse, to ensure that they
have not tripped or blown.

When a programming cassette is used check that the
program "ON" is active (also refer to the operating instructions
of the programming cassettes on the pages that follow).

If the fault cannot be corrected, please consult the nearest
after-sales service agent.
For processing the service call, the product number (E­number) and the manufacturing date code (FD-number) of the
heater are required. These data can be found on the rating
plate.

Any repairs and interventions in the heater may only be
performed by a qualified electrician or the after-sales service.

7. Cleaning

Before cleaning make sure that the heater is disconnected
from the power supply and that it has cooled down. Wipe the
outside of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any
scouring powder or furniture polish for cleaning as these may
damage the surface.
Dust that may have accumulated in the heater can be
removed from the outside with a vacuum cleaner.
