MHI-1100 Scope of delivery

2.1 Operating the device safely

- Caution – Danger of overheating!

Always make sure there is sufficient ventilation so that heat generated during normal operation can dissipate. Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered. Make sure that the device is sufficiently far away from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate (see fig. 2, page 3).

- Do not operate the device near flames or other heat sources (heating, direct sunlight, gas ovens etc.).

- Never operate the device in vehicles when the engine is running.

The interior heater must be stored in such a way while driving so that it does not pose a safety risk in the event of a collision or the driver slamming on the brakes.

● Never immerse the device in water.

● Protect the device and the cable against heat and moisture.

Quantity Description

1 Interior heater

1 Operating manual

4 Intended use

The cartronic interior heater is for heating the vehicle interior. The device can also be used in other rooms, provided a 230 V AC power supply is available.

Attention! Danger of burns!

Do not use the interior heater for the purpose of warming persons, animals or objects directly. The device is only suitable for heating the surrounding air.

Technical description MHI-1100

5 Technical description

The cartronic 1100 W interior heater is equipped with a three-stage switch (see fig. 3, A, page 4).

The interior heater is operated with a PTC heating element that regulates the output according to the temperature of the incoming air. As soon as the vehicle interior is warm, the output and therefore also the current consumption is reduced accordingly (PTC = positive temperature coefficient).

The interior heater is equipped with an automatic overheating fuse. If this fuse shuts down, the heater must be sent to the factory to be repaired (see "Troubleshooting" chapter on page 15).

6 Using the interior heater

▶Open the bracket on the bottom of the device.

▶Place the cartronic interior heater at a suitable location in the vehicle interior (e.g. the front passenger footwell, see fig. 2, page 3).

Caution! Fire hazard!

The interior heater may not be placed on the dashboard or seats. The device must be aligned in such a way that there is sufficient free space (see fig. 2, page 3).

Note

To heat up the vehicle interior as quickly as possible, the interior heater must be positioned as low as possible in the vehicle. The warm air that comes from the blower should be set in such a way that it is not directed at the seat or any obstacles. If this happens, the outgoing warm air is reflected and sucked back into the device before the car's passenger area can be heated. That results in a reduced or even completely absent heating effect.

▶Connect the device to a 230 V AC socket using the connection cable.

MHI-1100 Guarantee

▶ Use the switch (see fig. 3, A, page 4) to select the desired heating level:

Switch position Heating capacity

0 The device is switched off.
1 The output is 550 W (measured at -20 °C).
2 The maximum output of 1100 W is established (measured at -20 °C).
The maximum output at 0 °C is 1000 W.

7 Guarantee

Our general guarantee conditions apply. If the device is defective, please contact your specialist dealer. For repair and guarantee processing, the following documents must be sent along with the device:
