Mounting Instructions
NOTE
Use the original wall bracket supplied!

- Screw the heating device into place on both sides of the wall bracket.
Electrical Connection
- The voltage specified on the type plate must match the present mains voltage.
- If the power line of this device is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or after-sales service, or else by a similarly qualified person, in order to prevent risks.
- The device plug must always be accessible.
- To prevent danger by accidental resetting of the ther- mal tripping unit, this device must not be supplied via external switching devices (e.g. timers) or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility company.
Operation
- The room temperature is regulated using the infinitely adjustable thermostat (A).
- If the rotary knob is set to the lowest setting i.e. to the extreme left, the thermostat switches the heating device on at an ambient temperature of approx. 10° C. When the thermostat switches on, the red lamp lights up (B).
ATTENTION!
Rooms can become overheated if left unattended whilst being heated; this depends on the size of the room, its heating requirements and the setting of the thermostat. Persons who are not able to vacate the room if the temperature becomes too high can thus be placed in danger.
NOTE
The necessary heat demand for frost protection must be met by the heating capacity of the unit and must be determined by the specialist.
Protection Against Overheating
- If the permissible temperature is exceeded, the heating device switches off automatically. If this occurs, pull the mains plug out and leave the device unplugged for a few minutes so that the temperature limiter can switch back again.
- Then remove the cause, e.g. when the air grid is blocked or covered. When the device has cooled sufficiently, it can be started up again.
Faults
If the heating device does not give off heat, check the following points:
- Has the thermostat been set to the desired temperature?
- Has the overheat protection been triggered? See chapter 4.1!
- Is the fuse in the fuse box switched on?
- If you cannot remedy the fault, please contact your retailer.
- If required, you can also address your queries to the service hotline of Glen Dimplex Deutschland GmbH.
