Intended use
The appliance is a direct heater suitable for a variety of
application scenarios.
The appliance is equipped with an ON/OFF switch and
a temperature controller, and is therefore also suitable
as a frost protection appliance.
It is intended exclusively for room heating.

deemed inappropriate.
Intended use presupposes that a permanent installa-
tion in conjunction with permissible components
designed for this purpose has been carried out.
All other use is deemed inappropriate. Any resulting
losses are excluded from the manufacturer's liability.
Any usage beyond this must be approved by the man-
ufacturer in each individual case.
Intended use also includes adherence to maintenance
and inspection intervals.

spaces such as cellars, toilets, bedrooms, bathrooms
and hobby rooms.

that the heated air is discharged evenly and thus cre-
ates natural convection in the room.
■In addition, the heating element has a comparatively
low surface temperature, which reduces the trans-
port of dust.

temperature is maintained.
■The room temperature can be reduced by 3 K via an
external time switch.
