Maintenance And Cleaning; Repair And Service - Opranic Thor-Series Benutzerhandbuch

• The heater is equipped with a protective grill to prevent contact or to prevent large
objects from touching the hot lamp. The unit must not be used without this protective
grill.
• Ensure that there are no inflammable materials gathered on or close to the heater.
• The free space to the inflammable material in the direction of radiation must be at least
100 cm.
• The cable and plug must not be placed inside the hot radiant area.
• Do not stick anything into the protective grid.
• Do not make use of your heater to light up cigarette or similar materials.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
1. See figure F2 on page 2 for safety distances.
2. Do not place any objects such as furniture, papers, cloths, and curtains closer than
100cm to the front and sides of the heater and 30cm from the rear when the heater is
plugged in.
3. Make sure that the clearance from the top of the heater to ceiling is minimum 50cm
when the heater is plugged in.
4. Do not place the remote control in the tray on the handle when the appliance is turned
ON.
5. Do not place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall
off the bed and be ignited by the heater.
6. Always unplug the heater if it is not being used.
7. Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and
cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be
2mm (14 AWG) minimum size and rated not less than 10A.
8. Do not operate within 7.6m (25 feet) of flammable material (gasoline, alcohol etc.)
9. Never block the front grill of the heater.
10. Never attempt to service the heater without disconnecting its power source.
11. DO NOT COVER THE UNIT

1.3 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Unplug your heater first.
• Never pull your power cable to unplug your heater
• Unplug power cable
When the unit is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse, smoke or odour may
result from dust or dirt that has collected on the element. This is completely normal and
disappears after a short time. The power supply to the unit must be disconnected during
all service, repair and maintenance work. The unit has no moving parts so the maintenance
requirement is small, but it must be kept clean and free from dust and dirt. If the reflector
is not clean the thermal radiation from the unit will decrease and the heater will become
hotter. A large amount of dirt can cause overheating. The surface of the reflector is
sensitive and must be cleaned with care. If the reflector is dirty it must be cleaned or
replaced by a specialist.
