Preparations
9.1
Installation site
Material losses
!
The appliance is not suitable for mounting on ceilings
or inclines.
- The natural stone heater is exclusively designed for perma-
nent installation on a wall.
- Ensure the wall offers adequate load bearing capacity.
- You can install the natural stone heater in any room. In bath-
rooms you may only mount the natural stone heater within
protection zone 2 or higher.
9.2
Aligning the appliance
WARNING Electrocution
Ensure that the power cable is always located at the
lower edge of the natural stone heater.
The natural stone heater is configured at the factory for horizontal
installation.
If you want to install it vertically, make the following changes
before beginning installation:
f Undo the fixing screws of the natural stone heater.
f Rotate the wall mounting brackets with the slot apertures
downwards.
f Tighten the fixing screws by hand.
Material losses
!
Tighten the fixing screws for the wall mounting brackets
with max. 7.5 Nm, otherwise the undercut anchors in the
natural stone panel may overwind and become loose.
Material losses
!
The wall mounting brackets may only be secured with
the fixing screws supplied.
9.3
Mounting the reflector panel
Depending on size, the appliance is delivered with 1-2 reflector
panels made from aluminium-coated EPS. Reflector panels have
insulating as well as reflecting properties and reduce heat loss
through the wall.
If you are installing your appliance on an external wall, we recom-
mend mounting the reflector panel at the installation site before
fitting the appliance.
Note
The aluminium coating of the reflector panel will rub
off slightly.
f Wear protective gloves when mounting the reflector
panel.

f Use a suitable adhesive (wall adhesive) and a notched trowel
with medium sized notches (B2 or B3) for mounting the re-
flector panel.
f Apply the adhesive to the entire rear surface of the reflector
panel.
10. Installation
10.1 Wall mounting
Material losses
!
Only mount the natural stone heater on a flat wall, as oth-
erwise cracks may develop in the natural stone panel due
to stresses. In the event of unevenness in the mounting
wall, level the surface before tightening the fixing screws.
Material losses
!
Do not tilt or tip the natural stone heater. Otherwise, it
may break.
Note
The natural stone heater must be secured to all three wall
mounting brackets.
- The two upper wall mounting brackets serve as sus-
pension devices.
- The lower wall mounting bracket serves to safe-
guard against unintentional tilting or tipping.
Note
Due to the design of the wall mounting bracket, the natu-
ral stone heater hangs 35 mm lower than the drill holes.
f Measure out the dimensions for the drill holes on the natural
stone heater (see chapter "Specification / Dimensions and
connections").
f Based on the measurements, drill the holes in a wall with
sufficient load bearing capacity.
f Only screw the hexagon screws far enough into the drill
holes that the natural stone heater can still be hooked over
the screw heads with the open slots in the wall mounting
brackets.
f Hang the natural stone heater. Tighten the hexagon screws.
f Relieve any possible tension by slightly loosening the hexa-
gon screws. Retighten the screws subsequently.
