Use of electrical equipment in principle requires care to exclude any potential risks from fire, electrical shock or injury. Therefore the unit should only be used as described in these instructions, where any use outside the manufacturer's recommendations can lead to damage or injury.

The correct match between the heat requirement of the room and the heating power of the unit must be observed.

Before use of the unit, read the entire instructions and follow the information given on proper handling of the unit.

These instructions should be kept carefully and handed to any subsequent user of the unit. Please show them to the engineer performing any repair work.

1.1 Description

The WKL is an electric direct heater exclusively for wall installation. It is suitable e.g. for heating a bathroom or as transitional or additional heating for small rooms such as hobby rooms or guest rooms.

Series WKL-S

After wall mounting and electrical connection via a plug and socket, the unit is ready for use.

Series WKL-U

After wall mounting and electrical connection via a fixed connection through a junction box (note national regulations), the unit is ready for use.

Function

The air in the convector is heated by a heating element and emerges by natural convection at the top through the air outlet grille (4). The openings in the underside of the unit provide it with cool room air

Safety device

The convector has a protective thermostat (STR) which switches the appliance off on overheating. After eliminating the cause (e.g. covered air outlet or inlet opening), after a cooling down period of a few minutes the unit resumes operation.

1.2 Operation

The convector is switched on and off via the switch (1) on the right-hand side. The desired room temperature is set via the temperature selector (2) anywhere between around +6°C and +30 °C. As soon as the set room temperature has been reached, it is maintained constantly by intermittent heating (the heating power of the unit must correspond at least to the heat requirements of the room).

If several heaters are fitted in a room, the temperature setting on each unit may vary.

To avoid excessive energy consumption with the windows open, the unit should be switched off during ventilation at the switch (1).

Frost protection

If the unit is used as a frost guard, set the temperature selector (2) to the far right stop (*). In this position the thermostat switches the heating on automatically if the room temperature falls to around +6°C.

Limiting the thermostat

Using the two pins on the back of the switch housing (3), the thermostat can be fixed in a particular setting. To fix a desired temperature, push pin a into the hole opposite.

To limit the temperature adjustment range, set the minimum and maximum values on the selector knob and mark these by inserting pin b into the opposite, slightly offset hole each time.

1.2.1 External room thermostat

If necessary the unit can be operated with a commercial external room thermostat. The temperature selector (2) must be turned to the right stop (MAX). The room thermostat should be located as far as possible from the unit and at least 1.5 m high.

1.2.2 Shutting Down

To shut down the unit, move the switch to the OFF position and remove the mains plug from the wall socket (do not pull out the plug using the lead).

1.3 Safety notes

- In case the power mains supply is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the customer service of the manufacturer or an authorized and qualified person. Mandatory for hazard prevention.

1.4 Care and maintenance

If the unit housing shows a slight brown discolouration it should be cleaned as soon as possible with a damp warm cloth:

When the appliance is cold it can be cleaned with normal cleaning agents.

Avoid scouring or aggressive cleaning agents.

Moisture must not penetrate the unit.

Do not spray cleaning spray into the air slots.

For regular maintenance we recommend checking the control and adjustment elements. At the latest 10 years after first use, the safety, control and adjustment elements should be checked by an expert.

What to do if ... ?

- the unit does not get hot?

Check that ... ... the ON/OFF switch is turned on. ... in your fuse box, the corresponding fuse is intact or whether the breaker has tripped. Eliminate cause! If the heater still does not warm up, call customer service!

• the unit switches itself off?

Check whether it is covered, so it could have overheated (e.g. covered air outlet or inlet opening). Eliminate cause! If it does not warm up again after a few minutes' cooling down period, call customer service!

- customer service is called?

Read the type (Typ) and number (Nr.) from the rating plate (8) on the unit and tell customer service!
