INSTALLATION AND USAGE INSTRUCTION FOR
THE ELECTRICIAN
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Installation and service work must be carried out by a
licensed professional or a qualified person. Verify that the
electrical installation complies with the applicable local
codes. The responsibility of the manufacturer is limited to
the supply of the device.
• The devices are designed for wall mounting (vertical
or horizontal) with the appropriate accessories (see
included part list).
• Wall mounting of the glass radiators corresponds IP24
Protection.
• When installing the unit in a bathroom, note the areas of
protection to local electric code regulations.
• Specified minimum distances must be respected.
INSTALLATION AND MINIMUM DISTANCES:
LAVA® glass heaters can be mounted horizontally
or vertically on the wall. They are positioned so that
flammable items can not be ignited. Ensure the required
minimum distances, particularly to flammable objects like
curtains, and upholstered furniture are correct. Please
make sure, that the glass radiator can radiate freely into
open space. (See Fig. 2)
ATTENTION: Don’t lean items against the glass or lean the
radiator against other objects.
ASSEMBLY OF THE RADIATOR:
Please verify that no shipping or handling damage occured
before installing the power cable to the radiator.
WALL MOUNTING:
1. Locate the area where the warming panel is going to be
installed. If electric needs to be installed to panel, find a
location for the electrical supply and install the proper
outlet in the wall, placing it near the unit supply cord with
the plug on rear of the warming panel. We recommend
using a recessed duplex box (Leviton #689)
(Always turn power off at panel)
2. Locate area for thermostat. Locate area away from the
front of the warming panel for the thermostat control
so it does not affect the unit from operating properly.
Follow the wiring diagram located with the thermostat
instruction manual.
3. Install 2 of the brackets into a stud and then install the
correct type of wall anchors and mounting hardware
for the other 2 mounting points - Please see the hole-
patterns on page 4. (Anchors for drywall applications are
included in the box. Anchors for other applications are
not included and should be sourced locally.)
The installation of the warming panel unit on the wall,
must be secure.
a. The layout of the bracket locations on the wall should
be level and plumb. Secure them by using a 2 1/2” (min)
large screw heads.
b. Install the hanging bolts (supplied) to the back of
the warming panel unit and leave them extended
approximately 1/4” to 3/8”.
c. Move the warming panel unit to the place of the
installation and plug into outlet and hang unit on the
installed brackets.
4. Position cable clamp and place LAVA® glass radiators on
the wall and tighten the screws completely.
5. To protect the glass radiator against unintentional
removal, etc. the protection-plate (included in kit) should
be affixed to one of the 4 mounting brackets.

USER INSTRUCTION
HEATING
Do not power-on unit until it is installed.
Depending on the thermal insulation quality in your home,
the required heat output of the radiator will range from
3 to 20 W/ft² (30 to 200 W/m²). The LAVA® glass radiator
has a very high radiation fraction and a low proportion of
convective heat output. The surface temperature, for safety
reasons, is limited to appoximately 203ºF / 95 °C, thus
the overall performance of the device is limited. For this
reason, these devices are used as a sole heating solution
only in very well insulated houses.
ETHERMA LAVA® glass radiators warm predominantly
solid objects and only a small proportion of the air directly,
so these devices are ideal for additional temperature
control. In order to achieve the same feeling of comfort as
with convection heating, the indoor air temperature can be
lowered by 2-3 °C/F. Each degree reduction can save about
6% in heating costs, depending on the respective heating
behavior and thermal insulation in the room. The unit can
be turned on when a seldomly-used room is occupied, to
provide a warm, cozy feeling.
Depending on the size of the unit, the LAVA® glass radiator
will require some time to reach its operating temperature.
The glass sheet consists of 1/4” (6mm) toughened safety
glass (ESG). This glass is much more durable than
conventional glass, and is designed for significantly higher
impact forces. However, you should avoid excessive use. In
case of damage, ESG shatters into many small pieces with
blunt edges, to minimize the risk of injury.
Please note when choosing an installation location, that
a very small percentage of toughened glass products
can exhibit “spontaneous breakage”, i.e. when the glass
shatters. This can occur even when external influence isn’t
indicated. Choose the installation location of the device so
that there is no danger to people or nearby objects.
ATTENTION: Avoid any kind of load on the glass itself,
especially directly on the edges! Do not lean it against
anything, or lean anything against it!
Please refrain from placing any objects between the LAVA®
glass radiator and the persons to be heated. Objects
between the radiator and people will block the heat from
the people themselves.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The LAVA® glass radiator is designed to give its heat
over the glass surface in the form of radiation. There
are no moving parts located on the device that require
special maintenance. For care of your glass radiator, we
recommend commercial glass cleaner. Please do not use
abrasive cleaners, as these can cause scratches to the
glass as well as the painted surface. Clean the unit before
every heating season, with a minimium of once a year.
ATTENTION: Prior to cleaning, please ensure that the
LAVA® glass radiators are turned off at the circuit braker
panel and that the unit is at room temperature!
SPARE PARTS
Please contact WarmlyYours for any replacement parts
required. Only use original spare parts.
