General safety instructions
1. Before using the machine, carefully read this entire instruction manual.
2. Before using your new heater, check it, including cord and plug, for any visible
damage. Do not use a damaged heater, but send it back to your dealer for
replacement.
3. Do not use the heater until it is been fully installed in accordance with the
instructions under the heading ‘Description, Composition and Installation’.
4. This heater is strictly intended for normal domestic use. Only use it for the
additional heating of your home.
5. Under the terms and conditions described in this leaflet, the heater can be used in
wet or damp indoor spaces such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. Do not place
the heater in the vicinity of taps, bathtub, shower, pool, fountains or other sources
of moisture. Make sure it cannot fall into water and prevent water from getting into
the heater itself. If, at any time, the heater does fall into water, unplug it
immediately! Do not use a heater that has a damp interior but have it repaired.
Never immerse the heater, cord or plug in water and never touch it with wet
hands.
6. The supply voltage and utility frequency, specified on the machine, need to match
those of the socket that is used. The socket used needs to be earthed and the
electrical installation needs to be secured with a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(max. 30 mAmp).
7. Fully extend the cord before plugging in the heater. Make sure it does not come
into contact with any part of the heater and prevent it from heating up any other
way. Do not run the cord underneath carpeting; do not cover it with mats, carpet
strips or similar and make sure it is not placed in any passageways. Make sure
the cord cannot be stepped on and that no furniture is placed on top of it. Do not
lead the cord around sharp corners and do not roll it up too tightly after use!
8. If possible, do not use an extension cord, as this poses the risk of overheating
and fire. If the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, then make sure it is an
undamaged, approved extension cord with a minimum diameter of 3 x 1.5 mm²
and a minimum permissible power of 500W (E-Convect defrost 400) / 1200W (E-
Convect metal 1000) / 1750W (E-Convect metal 1500). To prevent overheating,
always fully extend the cord!
