2.2 General safety instructions

WARNING Injury

!

- Keep children under the age of3 away from the
appliance if constant supervision cannot be guar­anteed.

- Children from the age of 3 to 7 may switch the ap-
pliance on and off, provided they are supervised
or have been instructed in the safe operation of
the appliance and understand any risks that may
result. This is subject to the appliance having been
installed as described.
Children from the age of 3 to 7 must not plug the
power cable into its socket or regulate the appli­ance.

- The appliance may be used by children aged8 and
older and persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and
know-how, provided that they are supervised or
they have been instructed on how to use the appli­ance safely and have understood the resulting risks.

- Children must never play with the appliance. Chil-
dren must never clean the appliance or perform
user maintenance unless they are supervised.

WARNING Injury

!

The appliance is not equipped with a facility for con­trolling room temperature.
If operated on a time switch, the appliance may continue
to heat the room unchecked.
Ensure constant supervision if the appliance is operated
in a small room and the persons within that room cannot
leave the room on their own.

WARNING Burns
Never operate the appliance when work, such as laying
tiles, grinding, sealing, cleaning with naphtha or floor
maintenance (spray, floor polish), is being carried out in
the installation room.

Never cover the appliance

Even covering up a section, forexample with a towel,
can cause overheating and damage the heating element.

- Never cover the appliance.

- Never stick anything onto the appliance (e.g.decora­tive foil, post-it notes).

Material losses

!

Observe the minimum clearances (see chapter "Specifi­cation/ Minimum clearances").

Material losses

!

Never operate the appliance when the toughened safety
glass or other components are damaged.

2.3 Test symbols

See type plate on the appliance. The type plate is located on the
outer edge of the appliance near the ON/OFF switch.

3. Appliance description

The appliance is a wall mounted electric heating plate made of
toughened safety glass.

A heating mat is glued to the back of the glass plate which warms
the plate evenly.

The heat stored in the glass plate is delivered as infra-red radia­tion. Consequently, occupants and objects alike are heated in the
room without any air turbulence.

Note

Never place objects between the appliance and persons
requiring heating. In this case, the objects would be heat­ed rather than the persons.

WARNING Burns
Parts of the appliance can get very hot and may cause
burns. Particular caution is advised when children or
vulnerable persons are present.

WARNING Burns

- Never place any objects on top of the appliance.

- Do not lean any objects against the appliance.

- Never place any objects between the appliance and
the wall.

- Do not place any flammable, combustible or insulat-
ing objects or materials, such as laundry, blankets,
magazines, containers with floor polish or naphtha,
spray cans or similar, in close proximity to the ap­pliance.

OPERATION

Settings

3.1 Toughened safety glass plate

Material losses

!

Never operate the appliance when the toughened safety
glass is damaged.

The front of the appliance is made of 6mm thick toughened safety
glass.

If damaged, the safety glass will shatter into many small pieces
with blunt edges to minimise any risk of injury. On very rare occa­sions, safety glass can spontaneously break even without external
influences.

- Avoid any strain on the glass plate, e.g.caused by people or
objects leaning on it.

- When selecting an installation site, ensure that no persons or
objects can come to harm if the toughened safety glass spon­taneously breaks.

Note

Raw mirror glass and cast glass are subject to special
manufacturing processes. Spherical or linear inclusions
and blisters due to a roll change and pattern offset cannot
be excluded and do not constitute a quality defect.

4. Settings

 Switch the appliance on or off using the ON/OFF switch.

After reaching the operating temperature, the appliance heats
constantly at around100°C.

You can operate the appliance with an optional wall mounted
room thermostat.

 Observe the operating and installation instructions of the

connected room thermostat.

5. Cleaning, care and maintenance

- After it has cooled down, clean the appliance with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, commercial glass cleaner.

- Never use any abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Remedy

The appliance
does not heat
up.

If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your qualified contractor.
To facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from
the type plate (000000-0000-000000).

Fuse or safety switch has
blown/tripped.

Overheating. The high
limit safety cut-out has
tripped.

Check the respective fuses and
safety switches.
Remove the cause.

Remove the cause. The appliance
restarts after it has cooled down
for a few minutes.

ENGLISH

CAUTION Burns
When pressing the ON/OFF switch, avoid any contact
with the potentially hot glass plate.

Note

Depending on the size and design of the appliance, it may
take some time for it to reach its operating temperature.

Note

When the appliance is first commissioned, it may give off
an odour temporarily.

 Ensure that the room is adequately ventilated (with

a partially open window, forexample).

The ON/OFF switch is located on the outer edge of the appliance.

- Select your installation location so that no sockets are in­stalled on the surface concealed by the appliance.

- When installing the heating appliance in rooms with a
bath and/or shower, observe the safety zone according to
VDE0100,part701, in accordance with the details on the
appliance type plate. The mains junction box must not be in­stalled in safety zone1 or 2 in this instance.

- Install the appliance in such a way that switching and control
equipment cannot be touched by a person in the bath or
shower.

- Design all materials in accordance with the rated consump­tion of the appliances.

- When selecting an installation site; ensure that no persons or
objects can come to harm if the toughened safety glass spon­taneously breaks.
