• Partially insert the two screws, then hang the appliance on these screws and mark the position of the lower positioned screw.
• Remove the appliance, drill and plug the third screw.
• Remount the appliance on the wall and insert the supply cable. Ensure that the appliance is horizontal and fix in position by tightening the three screws. competent electrician.
  

Electrical connection

Take care! The appliance must be installed by a competent electrician.

The appliance may be connected directly to a fixed wiring or to a flexible supply cable H05VV-F 2 x 1.0 mm² from a wall connecting box.

The heater must not be located immediately above the wall connecting box.

Presetting

Take care! The settings must be carried out by a competent electrician. Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the mains.

Selecting the heating capacity

The wall mounted fan heater is provided with an internal selector switch with which the output can be set during installation to 1 kW or 2 kW corresponding to the size of the room to be heated.

In rooms of less than 11 m3 in volume, the 1 kW output should be selected as otherwise nuisance tripping of the thermal cut-out may occur.

In case of selecting the 2 kW position, the thermostat is in operation and will switch automatically to 1 kW when the preselected temperature is achieved. Note: the heater is preset to 2 kW.

Selecting the temperature

Note: the thermostat will only function when 2KW is selected.

The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat, which has three different settings:

1. Low,
2. Medium,
3. High.
   This gives you an approximate room temperature range of 18°C - 32°C depending on room size. The temperature switches to half heat when the room warms up. Full heat will be switched on automatically when the room temperature falls.

The thermostat has been factory set on '2' (Medium).

Heater operation

The pull cord operates the ON/OFF switch. The pilot lamp will illuminate when the heater is switched on.

Faults

If the heater is not heating, check whether the heater is switched on (pilot lamp must illuminate). Check that it is switched on at the distribution board and that the fuse is intact.

Further directions are explained in section "Thermal safety cut-out".

In the event of malfunctions in your heater, please contact your local electrician or the nearest customer service point. The E-Number and the FD code are required before servicing can be carried out. You will find them on the rating plate.

Cleaning the appliance

Switch off the heater before cleaning and allow to cool. If dust accumulates, the heater should be cleaned from the outside using a vacuum cleaner.

The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp cloth and then dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish, as this can damage the surface finish.

Thermal safety cut-out

For your safety the heater is fitted with a thermal cut-out. If the air circulation is restricted (e.g. hanging something over or blocking the grille) the heater switches off automatically. In order to bring the heater back into operation remove the cause of the overheating. Switch off the heater for a few minutes by pulling the cord and allow to cool down after which normal operation may be resumed.

In addition the appliance is fitted with a thermal fuse link. If there is abnormal overheating within the appliance, it operates and opens the circuit.
