Frequently Asked Questions - 18-2868 Cotech

Can I use this heater in a bathroom?

The heater is IP24 rated, meaning it is splash-proof and suitable for use in bathrooms, but it must not be placed near a bathtub, shower, or swimming pool. Always follow the safety instructions in the manual.

How do I switch between 500W and 1000W?

Use the power switch knob. Set it to EXPRESS for 1000W or ECONOMY for 500W. The indicator light shows when the heater is actively heating.

Can I leave the heater unattended?

It is not recommended. The heater has a tip-over switch and overheat protection, but you should always unplug it when not in use and never leave it unattended for long periods.

How do I clean the heater?

Switch off, unplug, and let cool. Wipe the housing with a dry cloth. Do not use water, wax, polish, or solvents as they may damage the heater.

Can I mount the heater on the wall?

Yes, the heater comes with a wall bracket, spacers, and an anchor. Follow the mounting instructions in the manual. Ensure minimum clearances: 150 mm on sides, 200 mm above, 500 mm front, 120 mm below.

What is the tip-over switch?

The tip-over switch automatically turns off the heater if it tilts or falls over. It resets automatically when the heater is returned to an upright position.

What power cord length is provided?

The mains lead is 1.8 meters long. Always plug into an easily accessible earthed socket.

Can the heater be used with an extension cord?

It is not recommended. If you must use one, ensure the cord is rated for the heater's power (max 1000W) and is fully unwound to avoid overheating.

What should I do if the heater doesn't turn on?

Check that the power switch is set to EXPRESS or ECONOMY, the plug is fully inserted, and the socket is working. If it still doesn't work, the tip-over switch may have tripped – place the heater upright. If problems persist, contact customer service.

Is the heater safe for use around children?

Children aged 3-8 may only switch it on/off under supervision. Children under 3 must be kept away. The heater becomes very hot – ensure children do not touch it. Use caution.

2. Screw the spacers (4) onto the lower edge of the back of the heater using short screws.
3. Screw the wall anchor (2) to the lower back of the heater using a short screw.

1. Measure the distance between the centres of the keyhole slots and mark out the position of the mounting screws on the wall. Screw in the two long screws, but not completely, leave them protruding about 5 mm. Use a masonry drill and wall plugs if necessary.

Väggmontering

Veggmontering

1. Fest veggfestene (3) med korte skruer på begge sider av håndtaket på baksiden av ovnen. Skruen skal skrus i det nedre hullet slik at nøkkelhullfeste blir riktig.
2. Skru fast distansestykkene (4) med korte skruer. Det skal festes lengst nede på baksiden av elementet.
3. Skru fast veggforankringen (2), som sitter lengst nede på elementet, med en kort skrue.

1. Merk først av avstanden mellom nøkkelhullfestene på veggen og skru i to lange skruer som elementet skal henge på. Ikke skru dem helt inn, men la det være en avstand på ca. 5 mm mellom skruehode og vegg. Bruk bor og plugg dersom det er behov for det.
2. Heng opp ovnen på skruene.
3. Skru fast veggforankringen (2) i veggen med en lang skrue.

Bruk

1. Ovnen skal plasseres på en jevn, horisontal, stabil og hard flate eller den kan henges på en vegg med monteringsdetaljene ihht. målene på skissen (i millimeter).

1. Påse at strømbryteren står innstilt på POWER OFF før strømmen kobles til.
2. Sett støpselet i strømuttaket.
3. Still strømbryteren på EXPRESS (1000 W) eller ECONOMY (500 W). Kontrollampen lyser när elementet varmer, d.v.s. när det er koblet til et strømuttak, og strømbryteren og termostaten er tilkoblet.
4. Still inn grunninnstillingen for temperaturen: Drei termostaten sakte medurs til MAX og la ovnen bli varm. Drei så termostaten moturs, sakte, til du hører en klikkelyd og ovnen stenges (kontroll-lampen slukkes). La ovnen stå på en stund og finjuster deretter termostaten til ønsket temperatur.
5. Still inn bryteren på POWER OFF for å stenge elementet, og trekk deretter ut støpselet når du ikke skal bruke det mer.
