Infrared heaters Instruction manual
Thank you for choosing an infrared heater from Gossmann GmbH.
Infrared heaters operate with electricity. Consequently the operation of these appliances is not without dangers. It is therefore necessary to read this instruction manual carefully before operating the appliance. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Keep this instruction manual near the appliance.
1. GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT INFRARED HEATERS
Infrared heaters are direct heaters that operate according to the principle of radiant heat (infrared). They have a very low energy requirement and create a pleasant, cosy room climate.
Infrared heaters transform electrical energy into heat with an efficiency of almost 100%. The special coating of the surface is optimized with the aim of achieving the maximum heat emission in the wavelength range from 7 to 10 m.
With infrared heat rays you heat in the same way as the sun heats the world – infrared brings this heat into your house and can reduce heating costs.
Infrared heaters can be used in various rooms and environments (see separate section on the individual areas of use). Various models are recommendable depending on the environment and the desired application (please contact your dealer regarding the optimum model for you). For all models and applications, however, it is essential that you follow the safety instructions for the installation (see separate section for this).
Infrared heaters heat up in just a few minutes (about 5 to 10 minutes, see point 3). If you do not immediately obtain a comfortable, warm room climate, allow the heating element to run for a longer period, since the first time it is operated it may be the case that cold objects (furniture, walls, ceiling, floor, etc.) first have to warm up. As soon as these fixed bodies have warmed up, however, the pleasant warmth will be distributed throughout the room and you will be able to reduce the operating time of the heating element to a minimum. This makes an enormous contribution to the protection of the environment.
Depending on the model you have selected, the surface will heat up to 120 °C . All of our infrared heaters are equipped with temperature sensors, which prevent the overheating of the surface.
1.2 APPLICATIONS
The versatile use of infrared heating allows a highly versatile usability. In residential and commercial premises, holiday homes and conservatories as well as in catering our products are suitable for heating. Pay attention only to the fact that the heaters are to be applied only in enclosed spaces. In poorly insulated garden sheds or stables we do not recommend the use!
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Our infrared heaters are all exclusively suitable for use as heating elements. Any use other than for the intended purpose can lead to a significant danger to people, animals and the environment.

The mounting instructions described below (see point 3 and penultimate page) must be followed for all of our infrared heaters.
All of our infrared heaters are equipped with integrated safety switches that automatically switch off the heating element if it is improperly used (i.e. in the case of over temperature caused, for example, by obstructing or covering up the heating element). The safety switch deactivates itself automatically after disconnecting the mains plug and waiting 10 to 15 minutes. The appliance is then ready for operation again.
Caution: Please note that excessive exposure to infrared radiation can be damaging to the eyes. Protect your eyes against very long and intensive contact and take appropriate precautions (e.g. do not stare directly at the infrared heater from a short distance for several hours).
2.2 SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not cover. Warning: In order to avoid overheating of the appliance, the heater may not be covered over. Never cover the infrared heater with washing or similar items. This can cause a build-up of heat.
The heating element becomes very hot during use (up to 120 °C depending on the model). Contact could lead to serious burns.
Each of our infrared heaters is equipped with a mains cable and plug. A room temperature controller can be operated using an optionally available intermediate plug. Make sure that nobody can trip over the cable. Protect the device against overload of the mains fuse and operate the appliance only in accordance with the specifications given on the type plate.
Do not use the infrared heater if the mains cable or plug is damaged. This must be checked each time before use. Do not pull or jerk the mains cable. Do not chafe the cable on edges or trap the cable. Neither the cable nor the plug may be repaired or replaced. Contact the manufacturer or its service department in case of damage.
Never immerse the heating element in water or expose it to water. Also, the heating element must never be touched by persons who are sitting in the bath tub or standing under the shower. Do not use this appliance in the immediate vicinity of a bath tub, a shower or a swimming pool.
The glass heater, mirror heater or marble heater may only be operated when firmly mounted (see point 3 and penultimate page). The metal heater can be operated with feet suitable for the purpose.
In case of damage to the infrared heater or the mains cable, it must be disconnected from the mains supply immediately and kept in a safe place (see below for warranty details).
To avoid damage and accidents, do not open the appliance yourself (see below for more information about this). Warranty claims and liability will not be accepted if the appliance is not opened by specialists.
3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING AND USE
3.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING
Our infrared heaters may only be mounted using the original suspension device (aluminum profiles or wall mounting plates on the rear of the infrared heater plus the screws provided). Warranty and liability for resulting damage are excluded if infrared heaters are used without the original suspension device. An exception to this is the marble heater.
The units are designed for wall mounting and optimized for this purpose. All of our infrared heaters, an original suspension (aluminum profiles at the back of the infrared heating and accordingly included screws for wall mounting). Stands for use as additional heating are optionally available.
Remove the packing film if necessary.
Make sure that the mains plug is not plugged in when mounting. Do not mount the appliance when it is switched on.
On no account should you make holes in the infrared heater. Do not operate the appliance under any circumstances if holes have been made for any reason. Please contact the manufacturer or dealer from whom you purchased the appliance.
If the appliance is to be used in children's bedrooms or in rooms to which children have access, make sure that the appliance is suspended at least 1.2 m above the floor.
Temperature Control
We recommend as urgent a temperature control via a thermostat. Learn to have any electrician. For this, we also recommend a look at our homepage www.gossmann.eu.
Distance to the rear side: Our infrared heaters emit only convection heat at the rear side (no infrared radiation). For ventilation purposes, however, make sure that the distance to the rear side of the infrared heater (metal/aluminum plate) is not less than 25 mm. This distance is always guaranteed when the standard suspension device is used. Gossmann GmbH accepts no warranty claims or liability for resulting damage if a fastening system other than the original is used.
Distance to the front side: our infrared heaters emit infrared radiation only at the front side. Make sure that there is a minimum distance of about 50 cm to the front, 20 cm to the sides and the top and 10 cm to the bottom.
VDE 0108 must be complied with when mounting in public places.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION IN THE BATHROOM:
Do not mount the infrared heater near a shower, tub or swimming pool. Make sure that the infrared heater can be touched by any person who is in the bath or shower. There keeping a minimum distance of 120 cm from shower or tub. In case of installation in wet areas, the installation is always by a specialist and according to VDE 0100 part 701, 702 and 703 respectively perform the OVE - EN standard.
INSTALLATION OF FEET:
Only the metal version of the infrared heater can be used with our feet as a heater. For this, the heating in a horizontal position that is with the longer frames, in the feet should be made to the frame. If necessary, use the screws to fix the feet.
Make sure that the mains plug is accessible after mounting the infrared heater and that it can be unplugged immediately if necessary.
If the infrared heater is connected as part of a permanent electrical installation, an isolating device of overvoltage category III is to be provided for full isolation. This connection work may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
3.2 SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUNTING THE MARBLE HEATER
The marble heater is delivered WITHOUT an electrical plug connector. The necessary connection work must be carried out on site by a qualified electrician.
The marble heater is delivered WITHOUT wall plugs and screws, since the considerably higher weight may necessitate accordingly adapted mounting materials; it must be possible for the customer to procure these materials.
The marble heater is intended exclusively for wall mounting. Mount it horizontally, with the connection socket to the side or underneath. The connection box on the wall should be behind the heating element. The distance between the floor and the heater should be about 15 cm.
Using a 10 mm masonry drill, drill two holes in the wall with the same spacing as the upper fixings of the marble slab. ATTENTION: the heating element hangs about 3 cm lower than the hole! Please use the appropriate wall plugs for the corresponding wall structure.
Fasten the holders provided firmly to the wall by means of wall plugs and hexagonal head screws. The u-shaped recess points away from the wall in an upward direction.
Hang the marble heater in the holder.
3.3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSITIONING
Make sure that the mounted infrared heater can radiate into the room with the least possible hindrance. Mounting the appliance directly behind a sofa or a cabinet is to be avoided at all costs.
The optimum amount of heat is obtained with horizontal wall mounting
If the infrared radiation does not reach certain surfaces in the room due to improper positioning, this is called the "shadow effect". Optimum positioning can avoid shadow effects. For detailed information on optimum positioning, please ask the dealer from whom you purchased the infrared heater.
3.4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST-TIME OPERATION
Follow the mounting instructions given above.
Now connect the infrared heater to a properly installed wall socket (follow the safety instructions given above).
You can now put the infrared heater into operation. The heat-up time is about 5 to 10 minutes. If you do not immediately obtain a comfortable, warm room climate, allow the heating element to run for a longer period, since the first time it is operated it may be the case that cold objects (furniture, walls, ceiling, floor, etc.) first have to warm up.
3.5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FIRST-TIME OPERATION OF THE MARBLE HEATER
Follow the mounting instructions given above.
Do not heat up the marble heater to the maximum temperature at once. First allow the marble heater to warm up to room temperature. When heating up for the first time, switch off three or four times after every 30 minutes to allow the stone to warm up slowly to operating temperature.
3.6 INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING
Never place articles of clothing or similar items on the heating element (build-up of heat and possible fire risk).
