Overheating
The fan heater is equipped with an overheat
protection. If it is deployed due to overheating,
reset as follows:
1. Disconnect the power supply with the isolator
switch.
2. Determine the cause of overheating and
rectify the fault.
3. Reset by opening the lid and pushing the red
button on top of the overheat protection until
a click sound is heard. See pictures in the
introduction pages.
4. Put the lid back on and reconnect the heater.
NOTE! All work inside the unit's connection area
must be carried out by a qualified technician and
with the power supply disconnected.

Maintenance

Since fan motors and other components are
maintenance-free, no maintenance other than
cleaning is necessary. The level of cleaning can
vary depending on local conditions. Undertake
cleaning at least twice a year. Inlet and exhaust
grilles, impeller and elements can be vacuum
cleaned or wiped using a damp cloth. Use a
brush when vacuuming to prevent damaging
sensitive parts. Avoid the use of strong alkaline
or acidic cleaning agents.

Residual current circuit breaker

When the installation is protected by means of
a residual current circuit breaker, which trips
when the appliance is connected, this may be
due to moisture in the heating element. When
an appliance containing a heater element has
not been used for a long period or stored in
a damp environment, moisture can enter the
element.
This should not be seen as a fault, but is
simply rectified by connecting the appliance to
the main supply via a socket without a safety
cut-out so that the moisture can be eliminated
from the element. The drying time can vary
from a few hours to a few days. As a preventive
measure, the unit should occasionally be run
for a short time when it is not being used for
extended periods of time.
Packaging
Packaging materials are chosen with
consideration to the environment and are
therefore recyclable.
