1. Operation instructions
1.1 Description of the appliance
With electric storage heaters, electrical-
ly-generated heat is stored during the
eco nom ical off-peak periods at low tariff
(depending on the electricity utility con-
cerned, but in most cases during the night).
This heat is then given off again, depending
on the room temperatures required, in the
form of hot air by means of a blower fan,
and to a lesser extent also via the surface of
the appliance.
This appliance is designed for domestic use.
It can be used safely by untrained persons.
The appliance can also be used in a non-do-
mestic environment, e.g. in a small busi-
ness, as long as it is used in the same way.

1.2 Operation
To operate the appliance, first raise the
cover of the control panel (1) located on the
front wall.
1.2.1 Heat storage
The selector switch R1 is used to determine
the degree of heat storage (charging).
Therefore the kind of operation must be
chosen between manual charge control or
the weather influenced charge control,
which should be in the wiring cabinet (main
switching board ?).

for the user and the professional
If there is no charging control unit installed
(manual operation), the selector switch
should be adjusted as follows:
I = Transition period (spring/autumn) -
corresponds to about
/
1
II = Mild winter's day - corresponds to
about
/
of full charge
2
3
III = Winter's day - corresponds to full
charge
= No charge
Once you have had a short period of time
to get used to the system, you will have the
experience needed to find the right setting
for each situation.
If a charging control unit is already installed
(automatik operation), the selector switch
should be set to Position III. The charging
control unit, which is influenced by the
weather conditions, then takes care of the
correct charging process.
For differential regulation of single stor-
age-heaters it is possible to adapt the op-
eration for the charging load manually, if a
charge control already exists.
To do this, refer to the operating and instal-
lation instructions for the charging control
unit, or the group control device.
1.2.2 Heat discharge
Heat emission (discharge) is regulated
by means of a Stiebel Eltron room-tem-
perature-sensor mounted on the wall or
integrated in the appliance
accessory).
In this situation the desired room tempera-
ture is to be set, which then automatically
regulates the emission of heat via the blow-
er fan, so that the room temperature which
has been set will be constantly maintained.
On very cold days, if you are going to be
away, it is recommended that the room
tem perature regulator be left switched on
in order to keep the room temperature at
about 10 ºC, for example, so that the room
does not become excessively cold (to pro-
tect against freezing).
1.3 Safety instructions
The appliance must not:
– Be operated in areas which are
subject to the risk of fire or explosion
due to chemicals, dust, gases or vapours;
– Be operated in the immediate vicinity of
pipes or containers which carry or con-
tain combustible or potentially explosive
substances;
– Be operated, at less as the minimum
clearance distances advised.
•
Installation (electrical installation) and
first taking into service and maintenance
of this appliance may only be carried out
by an approved qualified installer, and in
accordance with these instructions.
•
Under no circumstances may be the
appliance be operated if work is being
carried out in the room concerned, such
as laying, grinding, sealing, cleaning with
petrol, or care work (spraying, wax polish-
ing) of the floor or similar areas.
After such work has been carried out, the
of full charge

room must be allowed to cool sufficiently
before the storage heater is charged.
•
During operation the surface of the heat-
er and the outcoming air will be hot (
more than 80°C).
•
The appliance may be used by children
aged 8 and up and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or a lack of experience provided that
they are supervised or they have been
instructed on how to use the appliance
safely and have understood the resulting
risks. Children must never play with the
appliance. Children must never clean the
appliance or perform user maintenance
unless they are supervised.
Danger of burning !
Do not cover the devise!
•
Never leave inflammable, combustible or
heat insulating articles or materials like
clothing, laundry, blankets, newspapers,
floor wax, gasoline, sprays, paints or simi-
lar in the vicinity of the heater.
Do not place anything, especially no
laundry or clothing for drying on the heat-
er. Danger of fire !
