5. Heater Operation

The heater controls are protected underneath a looking
cover. To open the cover, turn the look in clockwise di-

5.1 Heaters without timers

The power switch (0-I) is used to switch the heater on
and off. The off-position and off. The off-position is
identified by „0".
The switch marked I-II (except PLX500) provides a
choice of heat output: I half heat or II full heat.

Selector switch On/Off
5.2 Thermostat
The heater is fitted with an electronic thermostat by
means of which the room temperature can be con-
trolled by choosing a suitable setting. The ∗ setting cor-
responds to a room temperature of approximately 6 °C
(frost protection setting). Higher temperature settings
range from 1 to 6 max.
The neon indicator light shows when the appliance is
actually heating.
NOTE NOTE
If you do not switch on your heater may have a cause,
that the slider of the thermostat is set at a lower
temperature than the current room temperature
ATTENTION!
Depending on room size, heat demand and
thermostat setting, rooms can be heated over a
silent heating. This may cause a danger to persons
who are not able to leave the room in case of
excessive temperature.

5.3 Heaters with Timer

The heater is switched on by the slide located to the left
of the timer. In position
manually, i.e. without timer.
Position means automatic operation, i.e. the con-
vector is switched on and off automatically by the timer.
The thermostat ensures a uniform room temperature
during the operation duration.
No heating operation takes place outside the pre-set
operating time (frost protection is also deactivated).
Setting the clock:
Rotate the timer's dial in clockwise direction until the
current time is aligned with the marking
Heater On: Push the appropriate segments out.
Heater Off: Push the segments in.
Each segment represents an on-or off-period of 20 min-
utes. For example, to set an operating duration of 2
hours, 6 segments need to be pushed outwards.
The timer can be programmed for several „On/Off" time
periods of varying lengths.

6. Overheat Protection
The heater is equipped with an overheat protection for
your safety. If the air circulation is impeded, the heater
is switched off by the overheat protection. Once the
heater has cooled sufficiently, it will automatically
switch on again
In the event that the overheat protection trips re-peat-
edly, the cause of overheating must be determined,
e.g. air grille is covered or obstructed.
For maximum heat output it is essential that you keep
the air inlet and outlet openings free of dust. Clean the
heater with a vacuum cleaner before the start of the
heating season!

7. Malfunctions

If there is no heat output from the unit, please check
that the heater is switched on and that the thermostat is
set to the desired temperature. Subsequently check
the circuit breaker on the main service panel, or the
fuse, to ensure that they have not tripped or blown.
