4.Heater description

The unit is a wall mounted electric direct heater. It is suitable for use in areas such as workspaces, kitchens, bathrooms and alike.

The heater heats the indoor air and keeps it at the selected temperature. The heater includes a fan that draws in indoor air through an air intake at the back of the heater. Inside the heater, the intake air is routed over a PTC heating element. Heated air is expelled through the air discharge at the front of the heater. When the selected room temperature has been reached, the heater maintains it through peroidic heating.

The heater is equipped with a high limit safety cut-out that switches the heater off in case it overheats. Once the cause of the fault has been eliminated, the heater restarts within a few minutes (cooling period).

The heater is equipped with further overheating protection in the form of a fuse that shuts down the heater irreversibly in the event of severe overheating.

3On/off rocker switch

5.Settings

On the left side of the unit, there is an on/off rocker switch that controls the operation. In the on position, the unit may turn on if the thermostat calls for heat. In the off position, the unit does not function.

The required room temperature can be infinitely adjusted by means of the temperature selector.

To shut down the heater, disconnect the circuit breaker for the heater.

Frost protection

To use the heater only to protect from frost, turn the temperature selector counterclockwise as far as it will go. In this position, the heater heats automatically if the room temperature falls below the frost protection temperature (See 14.3, “Data table”, pg. 9).

6.Cleaning, care and maintenance

DANGER: Electrocution

Before cleaning, make sure the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel and that the heating element of the heater is cool.

Clean the exterior of the heater when cold with ordinary cleaning products. Avoid abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.

If a pale brownish discoloration appears on the heater casing, wipe this off as soon as possible with a damp cloth.

MATERIAL LOSSES:

!Never spray cleaning spray into the air slot.
