ETHERMA LAVA® BATH 2.0 design infrared heaters are versatile direct heating devices. They are characterised, in particular, by their elegant design, ease of installation and operation, high reliability and maximum radiation power with minimal convection.

These instructions provide important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance of the device. Please read the information provided in these instructions carefully and keep for reference in case you will have questions at a later occasion.

The manufacturer shall not be held liable if these instructions are not complied with. Devices may not be used improperly, i.e. for purposes other than the intended use.

The packaging of your high-quality LAVA® BATH design infrared heater is made from recyclable materials.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST

be given to the operator following installation. The operator must also be instructed in the infrared heater's functionality.
be kept safe and transferred to the new owner in case of a change in ownership.

WARNING: Covering the surface creates a danger of overheating. Overheating may occur and the heating element may be damaged by covering the front of the device, e.g. with a hand towel.

WARNING: The infrared heating may not be used if the front of the device is damaged.

OVERHEATING AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION

All heaters have overheating protection which is activated in the event of overheating. The device only resumes operation automatically again after having cooled down to below 45^ C.

This heating device is not intended for the use by persons (including children) with a limited physical, sensory or mental capacity or with a lack of experience and knowledge. Such individuals must be supervised by a person responsible for their safety or instructed on use of the device. Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the device.

This device can be used by children of 8 years and older and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities and with a lack of experience or knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed on safe use of the device and understand the resulting risks. Children may not play with the device. Children may not clean the device or perform maintenance on it without supervision.

Children under the age of 3 should be kept away unless under constant supervision. Children between the ages of 3 and 8 may only switch the device on and off if they are supervised or have been instructed regarding safe use of the device and understand the resulting risks, as long as the device is placed or installed at its intended place of use. Children between the ages of 3 and 8 must not plug in the device, control the device, clean it and/or carry out maintenance.

The device may only be operated once installed. This heater may not be used in the immediate vicinity of a bath, shower or swimming pool. When installing the device in a bathroom, the device must be mounted so that switches or other regulators cannot be touched by persons in a bathtub or shower. The heater may not be used in small rooms occupied by persons who cannot leave the room independently, except where constant supervision is guaranteed.

Some product parts can become very hot and cause burns. Particular caution is required when children or vulnerable persons are present.

ATTENTION: Hot surface of the device may cause burn injuries. Switch off the device and let it cool down before carrying out maintenance and service works.

ATTENTION: Strain of any kind on the surface, whether from persons or objects leaning against it or from other forces, must be avoided!

ATTENTION: On the surface of the LAVA® BATH STEEL 2.0 infrared heating environmental influences such as direct sunlight, heavy smoke, open fireplaces, etc. may cause discoloration of the hue.

NOTES

IMPORTANT NOTES:

LAVA® BATH infrared heating devices comply with the relevant safety requirements.
Installation and initial start-up, as well as repairs and servicing, may be carried out by a licensed specialist or qualified individual only. All safety regulations must be observed. This person must verify first whether the electrical in-house system complies with the relevant standards. The responsibility of the manufacturer is limited to supply of the device.
Comply with country-specific safety regulations.
Comply with local safety precautions.
The devices are only suitable for vertical installation on walls.

Protective areas must be observed in accordance with DIN VDE 0100, part 701, when installing the device in bathrooms.
Minimum distances must be adhered to.
In bathrooms, the device must be mounted so that switches or other regulators cannot be touched by persons in a bathtub or shower.
Due to the low surface temperature at the rear side (up to 40 °C) the infrared heating may also be mounted on wooden panelling.
The device is not intended for the use in wardrobes and beneath church benches.

WALL MOUNTING

INSTALLING THE DESIGN INFRARED HEATING:

Please inspect the power supply cord to the heater and the surface before installation. These must not show any signs of damage.

Fasten hexagon bolts loosely on the rear side of the device.

1. Select a position for the mounting brackets according to the illustrations on page 11, depending on the product type.
2. Drill the holes according to the hole clearances specified on page 11 or the drill template supplied.
3. Screw on the mounting brackets using suitable dowels and screws.
4. Insert the LAVA ^ BATH infrared heating on the mounting brackets and tighten the screws.

ATTENTION: Screws and dowels are not included in the scope of delivery and must correspond to the construction material of the wall.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The heater is designed for permanent connection to a wall jack or socket.

The device is connected to the AC mains system by putting the power cord into a connection socket.

NOTE

The connecting cable can be extended using a cable of the H05VV-F3G1,50 type. A direct connection to a permanently laid cable may only be implemented up to a diameter of 1.5 mm^2 (e.g. NYM-J3G1,5 mm²). The length of the connecting cable must be between 1.0 and 1.9 m.

An all-pole disconnecting device with a minimum contact opening width of 3 mm has to be mounted into the fixed electrical installation in compliance with the installation regulations.

HEATING MODE

The heater is operated by means of direct connection via switch, via an external room thermostat, via timer or controller directly on the device or via a radio receiver in connection with a radio-controlled room thermostat. These items can be ordered as accessories. Please observe the operating instructions of the respective product.

ATTENTION: If the main cable to the device is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by a specialist.

USER MANUAL

HEATING MODE

The LAVA ^® BATH infrared heating has a very large radiation component and a very small convective component of the heating power. For reasons of safety, the surface temperature is max. 70 °C, therefore LAVA ^® BATH suits ideally as zone heating and thanks to the included towel holder as towel heater as well.

The LAVA ^® BATH infrared heating by ETHERMA mainly heats solid objects and, only to a lesser extent, directly heats the room air. Therefore, these devices are ideal for additional temperature control.

Depending on the size of the device, the LAVA® BATH infrared heating requires a certain time until the operating temperature is reached. Only then the radiation can take its full effect.

The glass panel produced for the product consists of 6 mm single-pane safety glass (ESG). This is much more resistant

in contrast to conventional glasses and is designed for significantly higher impact forces. Nevertheless, you should avoid excessive stress. In case of damage, ESG shatters into many small parts with blunt edges, so that the risk of injury is minimized. When choosing the place of installation, please note that a negligible amount of tempered glass still causes a so-called "spontaneous breakage", which means that the glass shatters even without external influence. Therefore, choose the installation location of the device in such a way that even in these cases no danger to persons or objects is to be expected.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

The LAVA® BATH infrared heating is designed so that it gives off its heat via the surface in the form of radiation. The device does not contain any parts requiring special maintenance. In order to service your infrared heater, we recommend using a damp cloth. Please do not use any scouring agents, since they may leave scratch marks on the surface.

ATTENTION: When you want to clean the LAVA® BATH infrared heating, the heating device must be cold!
