Introduction

Your infra red heater warms up not primarily the air in the room, but all objects
before the heater. By means of that your infra red heater is effective. And
because it doesn’t need to heat the ambient air, it is good to be used in the
open-air as well.

Installation

For additional protection the installation of a residual current device (RCD) is
advisable.

1. Remove all package material and check the appliance, supply cord and

the plug for signs of damage.

2. Pay attention to the mounting place and all mounting material(dowels,

screws). Ensure they are suitable and stable enough for mounting and
lastingly holding of the appliance.

3. Before mounting, the minimum safe mounting distances and tilt angles

shown in the figures must be strictly followed.
The distance between the bottom edge of the appliance and the floor must
be at least 2.5 M.
There must be a distance of at least 0.5 M between the appliance and the
cellings, roofs or other covers. If the covers are consist of flammable
material, such as wooden cellings, wooden roofs etc., the distance at least 1
M must always be maintained.
There must be a distance of at least 1.5 M at each side between the
appliance and walls or the like. See figure 3.
The max. degree to horizontal is 60°and the min. degree is 40°. See figure

4.
The infrared heater could also be swung from left to right. The max. swing
degree is 25°

4. Pay attention that, the installation of the appliace must not add

excessive wind load.

5. Fix the mounting bracket on the wall first. Ensure that the place to be

installed is secure and firm.

6. Assemble the appliance onto the mounting bracket.

7. Adjust the desired angle of radiation and fest screw all screws.

Check regularly the screws’ connection. Mechanical bearing pressure

and oscillation due to wind or rain could lead to loose.

8. Plug in the power source. And then observe, whether during the first

10-15 Minutes the appliance works trouble-free.
