Material lossesObserve the minimum clearances (see chapter "Specication / Minimum clearances").

Material lossesNever operate the appliance when the toughened safety glass or other components are damaged.

See type plate on the appliance. The type plate is locat-ed on the outer edge of the appliance near the ON/OFF switch.

3. Appliance description

The appliance is a wall mounted electric heating plate made of toughened safety glass.A heating mat is glued to the back of the glass plate which warms the plate evenly.The heat stored in the glass plate is delivered as infra-red radiation. Consequently, occupants and objects alike are heated in the room without any air turbulence. Note Never place objects between the appliance and persons requiring heating. In this case, the objects would be heated rather than the persons.

3.1 Toughened safety glass plate

Material lossesNever operate the appliance when the toughened safety glass is damaged.The front of the appliance is made of 6 mm thick tough-ened safety glass.If damaged, the safety glass will shatter into many small pieces with blunt edges to minimise any risk of injury. On very rare occasions, safety glass can spontaneously break even without external inuences. ◦ Avoid any strain on the glass plate, e.g. caused by people or objects leaning on it. ◦ When selecting an installation site, ensure that no persons or objects can come to harm if the tough-ened safety glass spontaneously breaks. Note Raw mirror glass and cast glass are subject to spe-cial manufacturing processes. Spherical or linear inclusions and blisters due to a roll change and pat-tern offset cannot be excluded and do not constitute a quality defect.

CAUTION BurnsWhen pressing the ON/OFF switch, avoid any con-tact with the potentially hot glass plate. Note Depending on the size and design of the appliance, it may take some time for it to reach its operating temperature. Note When the appliance is rst commissioned, it may give off an odour temporarily. » Ensure that the room is adequately ventilated (with a partially open window, for example).The ON/OFF switch is located on the outer edge of the appliance.D000005594311 ON/OFF switch » Switch the appliance on or off using the ON/OFF switch.After reaching the operating temperature, the appliance heats constantly at around 100 °C.You can operate the appliance with an optional wall mounted room thermostat. » Observe the operating and installation instructions of the connected room thermostat.14 Operation – Installation
