Frequently Asked Questions - VH 227 AEG

How do I turn on the AEG VH 227 heater?

Plug the heater into a suitable mains socket and turn the power knob to the desired setting (e.g., I or II). Then adjust the thermostat knob to your preferred temperature.

What should I do if the heater stops working suddenly?

Check if the tip-over safety switch has activated; place the heater on a level, stable surface. Also verify that the overheat protection hasn't triggered—allow it to cool down and reset automatically.

Can I use the heater in a bathroom?

No, this heater is not splash-proof and should not be used in wet areas. It is rated for indoor use only, away from water sources.

How do I clean the VH 227?

Always unplug the heater and let it cool completely. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, abrasive cleaners, or immerse the unit. The air inlet/outlet can be vacuumed gently.

What does the oscillation feature do?

The oscillation function makes the heater rotate side to side (about 70°) to distribute warm air more evenly across the room.

Is the heater safe to leave unattended?

While the heater has safety features (overheat protection, tip-over switch), it is recommended not to leave it unattended for long periods. Keep flammable materials at least 1 meter away.

Why does the fan run even when not heating?

The heater has a fan-only mode (setting 0 or fan symbol) to circulate air without heat. Also, after the thermostat reaches temperature, the heating element may switch off but the fan continues briefly to cool down the unit.

How can I improve heating efficiency?

Place the heater in the center of the room away from obstructions. Close doors and windows to retain heat. Use the thermostat to maintain a constant temperature rather than running at max continuously.

What does the thermostat do?

The thermostat regulates the room temperature. Turn the knob to a higher number for more heat; the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Where can I find spare parts or accessories?

Contact AEG customer service or visit authorized service centers. Spare parts such as knobs, feet, and fan blades may be available. Refer to the user manual for part numbers.

3. Appliance description

The appliance is an electric direct heater for installation on a wall. It is suitable as, for example, a complete heating system in bathrooms, or for use between seasons and use as a booster heater in smaller rooms, such as hobby and guest rooms.

For heating, the room air is drawn in by the appliance fan via apertures in the back panel, heated by the heating element, and blown out evenly, without sensation of a draught, via the air outlet grille at the bottom of the appliance.

3.1 Standard delivery

• Rapid wall mounted heater with power cable and profiled plug
• Wall retainer
• Screws and rawl plugs • Operation and installation instructions

4. Operation

The required room temperature can be infinitely adjusted with the temperature selector. The set temperature of the room air is then constantly maintained by repeated, brief heating via the thermostat in the appliance.

If you want to use the appliance as a frost stat, turn the temperature selector anti-clockwise as far as it will go. In this position, the thermostat switches on the heating automatically if the room temperature drops to approx. 6°C.

Note

To shut down, unplug the appliance.

4.1 Appliance type controls

Rotary selector/appliance type	VH 206	VH 227	VH 229
Temperature selector	x	x	x
60 min time switch		x
24 hour timer			x

4.2 Temperature selector

The required temperature range can be set at the temperature selector. When the room temperature falls below the set value, full heating output switches on, and when the set room temperature is achieved, it switches off again.

4.3 60 min time switch

CAUTION Burns

The appliance could continue to heat the room unchecked if it is operated on a time switch. Ensure constant supervision if the appliance is used in a small room and the persons within that room cannot leave the room on their own.

The appliance operates in two output stages:

1. In controller mode: The temperature selector is operational; the appliance operates with the standard heating output of 1000 W.
2. In operation with the time switch: The appliance operates with full heating output until the end of the set time. During this period, the temperature selector is non-operational. After this the temperature selector takes control of the appliance again. The operating time selected can be interrupted at any point by turning back the time switch.

4.4 24 hour selection

CAUTION Burns

The appliance could continue to heat the room unchecked if it is operated on a time switch. Ensure constant supervision if the appliance is used in a small room and the persons within that room cannot leave the room on their own.

With the switch to the right of the timer, select one of three operating modes

1 Controller mode: In this mode the appliance is operated at the temperature selector. 2 Constant mode: The appliance heats continuously with 2000 W until controller mode or timer mode is reselected. 3 Timer mode switch: The appliance switches on and off in the pre-programmed heating times. During the heating time the appliance heats continuously (2000 W). During the switch-off time, operate the appliance at the temperature selector.

4.4.1 Operating the timer

Standard time setting

Scale on the timer = 24 hour clock.

Set the marking to the current time.

Programming the heating time

Note

To adjust the heating time, set the operating mode to "Timer mode".

1 tab = 30 minutes' heating time

Specify the beginning and end of the heating time or times. Then pull up the tabs opposite the corresponding numbers.

1 tab up (30 minutes): Heating starts: 12:30 h - heating ends: 13:00 h

2 tabs up (60 minutes): Heating starts: 05:30 h - heating ends: 06:30 h

Note

To achieve energy-saving operation in timer mode, at the temperature selector set a lower standard temperature for the switch-off time than the required room temperature. During the heating time the appliance heats with 2000 W. To save energy, never select a longer than necessary usage time.

5. Cleaning, care and maintenance

If a pale brownish discolouration appears on the appliance casing, wipe this off as soon as possible with a damp cloth. Clean the appliance when cold with ordinary cleaning products. Avoid abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.

Material losses

Never spray cleaning spray into the air slot.

6. What to do if...

...the appliance does not heat:

» Check the temperature set at the appliance and the MCB/fuse in your fuse box.

If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your qualified contractor. To facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from the type plate (000000-0000-000000).

8. Installation

8.1 Appliance installation

To secure the appliance, proceed as follows:

Unpack the appliance carefully. Drill the fixing holes in accordance with the dimensioned drawing in the chapter "Specification". Insert the rawl plugs. The rawl plugs supplied are suitable for solid walls. For other wall structures, suitable rawl plugs must be provided on site.

Insert the first screw into the top hole drilled in the wall, leaving approx. 3 mm of the screw protruding. Then hook the appliance into the gap between the wall and the screw head.

Using the second screw, secure the additional wall retainer, located at the lower rear part of the appliance, to the wall. The appliance can now no longer be removed from the wall.

8.2 Power supply

Select a power cable with an adequate cross-section.

Install a socket for permanent power supply at a distance of at least 10 cm from the side of the appliance.

The power cable must not touch the appliance. Trim it so it leads directly to the socket. Then strip the wires and cut the cores to size.
