INSTALLATION AND USAGE INSTRUCTION FOR
THE ELECTRICIAN
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Installation and service work must be carried out by a
licensed professional or a qualied person. Verify that the
electrical installation complies with the applicable local
codes. The responsibility of the manufacturer is limited to
the supply of the device.
• The devices are designed for wall mounting (vertical or
horizontal)
• Wall mounting of the glass radiators corresponds IP24
Protection.
• When installing the unit in a bathroom, follow local
building and electric code regulations.
• Specied minimum distances must be respected.
INSTALLATION AND MINIMUM DISTANCES:
LAVA® glass heaters may be mounted horizontally or
vertically on the wall. They must be positioned so that
ammable items can not be ignited. Ensure that the
required minimum distances, particularly to ammable
objects like curtains, and upholstered furniture are correct.
Please make sure that the glass radiator can radiate freely
into open space. (See Fig. 2)
ATTENTION: Don’t lean items against the glass or lean the
radiator against other objects.
WALL MOUNTING:
The mounting brackets (supplied) have 3 groups of 2 holes
spaced at 8” on center. This spacing allows the installer
exibility when choosing a mounting location. Please note
the required minimum clearance distances from ammable
materials (SEE Fig 2) when choosing your mounting
location. Ideally, if the studs in the room are 16” on center,
this bracket will allow the unit to be attached to at least one
stud and optimally 2 studs. This bracket design also allows
for the Lava to be mounted horizontally or vertically.
At this time, gather any needed items including a pencil,
screw driver, screws, washers, hammer, tape measure,
stud nder, wall anchors, and an assistant. Verify correct
number of supplied parts are present.
Choose a location desired for mounting. Choose an area in
compliance with local building and electrical codes.
Use a stud nder to locate the studs present in the area. If
possible, choose a location where 4 screws on each bracket
will land in studs. If this is not possible, we suggest at
least 2 of the screws on each bracket land in a stud. Use
Heavy-duty anchors rated to 50 lbs. for this application. If
mounting into concrete or other materials, use appropriate
anchors suitable for that application. We require using
at least 4 (six is even better!) screws in each mounting
bracket. PLEASE VERIFY ACCESS TO ELECTRICAL BOX IS
NOT BLOCKED BY INSTALLED MOUNTING BRACKET.
ASSEMBLY OF THE RADIATOR:
Please verify that no shipping or handling damage occured
before installing the power cable to the radiator.

Fig. 2: Minimum mounting distances
Use a level and a pencil to mark the location of the rst
bracket on the wall. Using the bracket, mark the hole
locations. Drill and install the appropriate screws and/or
anchors. We recommend Cobra, TripleGrip #8, p/n: 178S
(available at Home Depot) or similar type anchors. We
recommend using a #8 screw with washer (if needed),
minimum, for mounting the mounting brackets.
Make corresponding marks 17 9/16” below the installed
bracket for the lower bracket. ALWAYS INSTALL 2
BRACKETS per LAVA unit! Follow above instructions for
this bracket.
Once the brackets are installed on the wall, install the 4, M8
x 16 hex mounting bolts loosely (at least 3 revolutions) into
the Lava.
With the assistance of a helper, lift the Lava and make
your electrical connections. Place the mounted bolts into
the slots of the mounting brackets. If the unit is placed
satisfactorily, use an open-ended wrench to fully snug the
bolts, securing the Lava to the mounting products.

HEATING
Do not power-on unit until it is installed.
Depending on the thermal insulation quality in your home,
the required heat output of the radiator will range from
3 to 20 W/ft² (30 to 200 W/m²). The LAVA® glass radiator
has a very high radiation fraction and a low proportion of
convective heat output. The surface temperature, for safety
reasons, is limited to appoximately 203ºF / 95 °C, thus
the overall performance of the device is limited. For this
reason, these devices are used as a sole heating solution
only in very well insulated houses.
ETHERMA LAVA® glass radiators warm predominantly
solid objects and only a small proportion of the air directly,
so these devices are ideal for supplementary heat. In order
to achieve the same feeling of comfort as with convection
heating, the indoor air temperature can be lowered by 2-3
°C/F. Each degree reduction can save about 6% in heating
costs, depending on the respective heating behavior and
thermal insulation in the room. The unit can be turned on
when a seldomly-used room is occupied, to provide a warm,
cozy feeling.
Fix mounted thermostats should be mounted next to the
heated room’s entry door at 4’ or 1.3m height from oors.
An alternate location is on an interior wall, not subject to
direct sunlight. The thermostat should not be installed
within 3 feet of the LAVA. Power the thermostat with a GFCI
Protected Circuit.
ATTENTION: Avoid any kind of load on the glass itself,
especially directly on the edges! Do not lean it against
anything, or lean anything against it!
Please refrain from placing any objects between the LAVA®
glass radiator and the persons to be heated. Objects
between the radiator and people will block the heat from
the people themselves.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The LAVA® glass radiator is designed to give its heat over
the glass surface in the form of far infrared radiation. There
are no moving parts located on the device that require
special maintenance. For care of your glass radiator, we
recommend commercial glass cleaner. Please do not use
abrasive cleaners, as these can cause scratches to the
glass as well as the painted surface. Clean the unit before
every heating season, at a minimium of once a year.
ATTENTION: Prior to cleaning, please ensure that the
LAVA® glass radiators are turned off at the circuit breaker
panel and that the unit is at room temperature!
SPARE PARTS
Please contact WarmlyYours for any replacement parts
required. Only use original spare parts.
Depending on the size of the unit, the LAVA® glass radiator
will require some time to reach its operating temperature.
The glass sheet consists of 1/4” (6mm) toughened safety
glass (ESG). This glass is much more durable than
conventional glass, and is designed for signicantly higher
impact forces. However, you should avoid excessive use. In
case of damage, ESG shatters into many small pieces with
blunt edges, to minimize the risk of injury.
Please note when choosing an installation location, that
a very small percentage of toughened glass products
can exhibit “spontaneous breakage”, i.e. when the glass
shatters. This can occur even when external inuence isn’t
indicated. Choose the installation location of the device so
that there is no danger to people or nearby objects.
