Frequently Asked Questions - NELA 1 Sonnenkönig

What is the power supply type of the NELA 1 radiator?

The radiator operates on a mains socket of 220-240 V and 15 A. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded socket.

How to install the NELA 1 towel warmer radiator?

Installation is done vertically only. Fix the supplied wall brackets with screws, then slide the radiator onto them. The drilling center distance can vary up to 20 cm. Ensure the brackets are properly secured.

What operating modes are available?

Two modes are available: Economy mode (on/off cycling every 7 seconds, yellow light) and Comfort mode (full power, red light). A button turns the device on or off while keeping the last used mode.

What is the maximum temperature of the radiator?

The radiator is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor that limits the surface temperature to 60 °C to prevent burns. The lower pipes may be cooler, which is normal.

Is it safe to use this radiator in a bathroom?

The radiator can be used in a bathroom, but it must not be placed in front of an electrical outlet. It is important to respect safety distances and not to use it in very small rooms without constant supervision.

How to clean the NELA 1 radiator?

Unplug the device and let it cool down. Clean the outer casing with a soft damp cloth. You may use a mild cleaning product. Never use alcohol, gasoline, abrasive powder, or wax. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

What to do if the radiator does not work?

Check first that the power cord is plugged in and the mains socket works. Make sure the power switches are on. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

What is the warranty period of the radiator?

The warranty is 24 months from the purchase date. Keep your proof of purchase for any claims. Repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel; otherwise, the warranty is void.

Can I use an extension cord with this radiator?

It is recommended to avoid using an extension cord. If necessary, use an extension cable with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm² to avoid any risk of overheating and fire.

How to dispose of the radiator at end of life?

Do not dispose of the device with household waste. In accordance with the WEEE directive, it must be taken to a suitable collection point or returned to a specialized retailer. Any batteries must be removed and disposed of separately.

• DO NOT operate the radiator with a damaged cord or after the radiator has been disturbed, come down, or damaged in any way. Return the heater to an authorized service facility for inspection of electrical, mechanical adjustment or repair.
• DO NOT touch the control panel or plug with wet hands.
• DO NOT run the cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover the cable with throw rugs, caulk, or similar coverings. Route the cable away from traffic areas and where it cannot break or kink.
• Avoid using an extension cord because the extension cord can overheat and create a fire hazard. However, if you must use an extension cord, the cord size must be 1.5 ~mm^2 .

• To avoid fire or shock hazard, connect the unit directly to a 220-240 V and 15 A outlet.

- To turn off the radiator, set the controls to OFF, then unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Pull firmly on the plug, DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord.

- DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this equipment. Doing so will void your warranty. The interior of the unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel.

- Connect the unit only to properly grounded outlets.

- The radiator must not be located in front of an electrical outlet. Mount the radiator far enough away from an electrical outlet so that the cord cannot be damaged by heat.

- KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

03 - MOUNTING

This device may only be mounted vertically!

1. Brackets are supplied for mounting the towel radiator. Fasten them to the wall using the screws supplied. Then press the radiator into the wall brackets on the wall.

2. Connect the power cord to a normal household outlet and only as shown.

The hole may vary by max. 20 cm.

1. Measure your holes with the given dimensions. If this does not fit, you can offset the hole.
2. Make sure that the bracket can then be attached to the radiator.
3. With a flat towel radiator, you can move the brackets freely.
4. With a curved radiator, you should only vary the height if necessary.
5. Make sure that the hole cannot be drilled further than 20 cm from the specified distance.

04 - CONTROLS

• The unit has a light control system that allows the cartridge heater to operate at half or full power.
• The button ☐ turns the cartridge heater on or off. Each time it is turned on, the cartridge heater operates at the same power as when it was turned off.
• The button indicates the energy saving mode. When activated, the yellow LED in the upper corner of the cartridge heater lights up. The unit alternates on and off every 7 seconds.
• The button corresponds to the COMFORT mode. When activated, the red LED in the lower corner of the heating cartridge lights up. The unit is operating at full power.
• The integrated temperature sensor protects against possible burns by preventing the maximum heater temperature of 60^ from being exceeded.
• The design of the cartridge heater, as well as the physical properties of the heating medium, cause the lowest pipes of the radiator (mainly the two lowest ones) to have a lower temperature than the rest of the radiator - this is quite normal.
