DANGER Fire Never operate this appliance ...
-if the minimum clearances to adjacent object sur-
faces are not maintained, for example to furniture,
net curtains, curtains, textiles or other flammable
materials (for minimum clearances, see "specifica-
tion/dimensions and minimum clearances").
-in rooms where the appliance is at risk from fire or
explosion as a result of chemicals, dust, gases or
vapors.
-in the direct proximity of pipes or containers that
carry or contain flammable or explosive materials.
-if work such as laying cables, grinding or sealing is

4. Appliance description
This appliance is wall mounted and is particularly suitable for work
rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, wash rooms and similar.
The external casing of the appliance is made from stove enameled
sheet steel. The sides are made out of plastic. The controls are
located on the right side panel.
The quiet fan draws in the ambient air that is heated by a bare wire
heater element. The air then exits evenly through the hot air chan-
nel and the air outlet grille set into the bottom of the appliance.
The appliance heats up the ambient air inside the room and main-
tains it at the selected temperature.
4.1 Control with external room temperature con-
troller
(Only applicable for: CK)
In rooms larger than 215ft2(20 m2) you can operate the appliance
with a conventional wall mounted room thermostat.
To do so, turn the temperature selector fully clockwise.
Control the temperature by using the wall thermostat.

5.1 Starting heating
The temperature is infinitely adjustable. The appliance stops heat-
ing as soon as the selected room temperature has been reached.
Turn the temperature selector clockwise to the required
setting.
5.2 Stopping heating / frost protection
Turn the temperature selector fully counter clockwise.
This position ensures frost protection. The heater starts automati-
cally if the room temperature drops below the frost protection
temperature.

6.1 Starting heating
The temperature is infinitely adjustable. The appliance stops heat-
ing as soon as the selected room temperature has been reached.
Turn the temperature selector clockwise to the required
setting.
6.2 Adjusting the time switch
With the time switch, the appliance heats with full output and
without temperature control.
Turn the Timer clockwise to set any number of minutes to
count down from 0-60minutes.
6.3 Stopping heating / frost protection
This position ensures frost protection. The heater starts automati-
cally if the room temperature drops below the frost protection
temperature.
Turn the temperature selector fully counter clockwise and
ensure that the time switch is set to "0".
7. Cleaning, care and maintenance
The appliance contains no user serviceable parts.
Clean the appliance when cold with ordinary cleaning products.
Avoid abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.
If a pale brownish discoloration appears on the appliance casing,
wipe this off as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
!Damage to the appliance and the environment
Never spray cleaning spray into the air slot.
8. Storage
When not in use, keep the appliance in a dry place.
9. Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not heat, check the temperature set at the
appliance and the circuit breacker.
The appliance has a safety high limit that shuts the appliance down
if it overheats. After the cause has been removed (for example air
outlet or inlet apertures covered) and the appliance has cooled
down for a few minutes, operation starts again.
If you cannot remedy the fault, notify the contractor who installed
the appliance. To facilitate and speed up your enquiry, please pro-
vide the serial number from the type plate (000000-0000-000000).

instructions.
11. Appliance description
This appliance is a wall mounted electric heater. It is particularly
suitable for heating rooms, such as work rooms, kitchens, bath-
rooms, wash rooms etc.
11.1 Standard delivery
- Wall mount bracket
- Bottom bracket
12. Installation
DANGER Electrocution
-If installing the appliance in rooms with a bath and/
or shower, take the relevant safety zone into ac-
count in accordance with the information on the ap-
pliance type plate.
-Install the appliance in such a way that switching
and control equipment cannot be touched by a per-
son in the bath or shower.
DANGER Fire -Only fit the appliance to a vertical wall that is heat-
resistant to at least194°F(90°C).
-Maintain minimum clearances to adjacent surfaces.
-Never install the appliance directly below a wall
socket.
Check the hole distances for the wall mounting bracket in the
dimensioned drawing.
Secure the wall mounting bracket with suitable fasteners.
The horizontal and vertical slots in the wall mounting bracket
enable alignment if drilled holes are not completely accurate.
Hook in the appliance so that both top protrusions are in-
serted into the slots in the wall mounting bracket.
Secure the appliance with the bottom bracket and one screw
against unintentional unhooking. To do so, hook the bottom
bracket from the back into the rear panel.
13. Electrical connection
DANGER Electrocution Carry out all electrical connection and installation work
in accordance with relevant regulations.
!Damage to the appliance and the environment
-Observe the type plate. The specified voltage must
match the mains voltage.
Never install the appliance directly below an outlet.
In case of ROMEX wire, install ½" ROMEX connector in knockout.
In case of Greenfield, please use ½" Greenfield connector.
13.1 Terminal block
We recommend using stranded wire to connect to the terminal
block. Crimp a ferrule over stranded bare wire to ensure a good
connection.
Consult the chart below for the recommended torque amounts on
the terminal block screws.
Screw Diameter (mm) Torque (N•cm) Torque (lbf•in)
2.8 30-40 2.65-3.54
2.8-3 35-50 3.09-4.42
3-3.2 50-60 4.42-5.31
3.2-3.6 60-80 5.31-7.08
3.6-4.1 90-120 7.96-10.62
4.1-4.7 120-180 10.62-15.93
4.7-5.3 150-200 13.27-17.7
Using the proper torque specifications to secure wire to the wiring
block helps to avoid personal loss or property damage.
See 15.3, “Specification table”, pg. 8 for information on the
proper wire gauge size.
14. Appliance handover
Explain the functions of the appliance to the user. Draw special
attention to the safety information. Hand the operating and instal-
lation instructions to the user.
