DO NOT!
WARNING!
INFORMATION
Heating element is not suitable for central heating systems where water temperature may exceed 82°C. A thermal fuse installed in a heating element prevents its operation in dry conditions. Installation of the heating element in high temperature systems will damage the fuse even when the device is not connected to electricity. |
||
Ensure that the radiator is filled with a heating medium before switching the heating element on. Turning on the device installed in a “dry” radiator will damage the heating element. |
||
Ensure that at least one of the radiator valves is open before you turn on the heating element. Rising temperature increases a liquid’s volume. To avoid excessive pressure build-up inside the radiator (which will damage the heating element), please leave one of the radiator valves open. For detailed instructions, please see the electric radiator manual’s “air cushion” section. |
||
Filling the radiator with a heating medium that is too hot will cause damage to the thermal fuse installed in the heating element. | ||
Don’t overfill the radiator — leave an air cushion. When filling an electric radiator (those not intended for central heating installation), please remember to leave an appropriate free space inside the radiator (an air cushion). This is necessary due to liquid expansion at high temperatures. The absence of an air cushion will lead to a pressure increase inside the radiator which is a serious safety hazard and may damage the heating element. |
||
Always use a spanner when installing a heating element. Installation of the heating element should be done with the use of a 22 or 24 spanner (see manual). The use of incorrect tools or twisting the head of the heating element will cause mechanical damage to the device. |
||
Installation and use of the heating element positioned upside down will render the device ineffective and unsafe, therefore it is not permitted under warranty. | ||
Avoid turning on the heating element when it is not fully immersed in the heating medium, as this is a damage risk. The heating element should be checked when fully immersed in a heating medium. For testing purposes it is safe to turn on a “cold” heating element for a maximum of 5 seconds. The heating element must be fully immersed during its operation! |
||
Electric radiator The level of temperature and temperature distribution in the radiator depends on a number of factors. The most important is radiator construction and positioning of the heating element. The heater should always be installed in the bottom part of the radiator. Since the heater projects outside the radiator frame it should be located in such a way as to reduce the risk of mechanical damage to the casing of the heating element controller (the controller casing should never be stood on or used for hanging objects). |
||
Use suitable heating mediums. Inappropriate heating mediums may cause residual build-up on the heating element, reducing its power output and leading to the damage of the device. Information on manufacturer recommended heating mediums can be found here. |
||
Make sure the temperature sensor is not touching the heating element. The small pipe containing the temperature sensor should be at least 3 mm away from the heating part of the device. This will ensure that the correct heating medium temperature measurements are recorded and regulated. |
||
To the user — always read the manual! The information provided in your manual is important for your safety, satisfactory product performance and the longevity of the product. Please study the manual thoroughly as claims placed on the grounds of incorrect installation and use will not be accepted. |
