• If your appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable mains plug which
is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, the plug must
be cut off and an appropriate one fitted.
NOTE:
• A plug cut off from a flexible cord will give a shock hazard if
inserted in a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. To avoid this,
it should be disposed of immediately.
• If you are fitting an alternative type of plug then the colours of the
wires in the mains lead of the appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug. In
this case proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the ter-
minal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
• The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.
NOTE:
• For your additional safety, the heater has been double insulated
and must not be earthed.
• Therefore do not connect either of the wires to the earth terminal
of the three pin plug.
• If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used a 13 amp (BS 1362) fuse must
be fitted either in the plug, adaptor or at the fuse board.
NOTE:
• The fuse cover of a non-rewireable plug must be refitted when
changing the fuse. Should the fuse cover become lost, the plug
must not be used until the correct replacement fuse cover is
obtained from our service department or stockist.
Mains cable (depending on model):
• Position the power cord so that it does not pose a tripping hazard
or can be stepped on! Only use approved extension cable that is
suitable for the appliance rating.
• The power cord must not come into contact with hot appliance
parts!
• Never pull the plug out of the socket at the cord! Never move the
appliance by pulling at the cord or use the cord for carrying pur-
poses!
• Do not coil the cord around the appliance! Do not use the appli-
ance with the cord coiled!
This applies particularly to using a cable drum.
• Do not crush the cord or drag it over sharp edges or place it over
heated hotplates or naked flames!
Notes on use:
• When using the appliance free-standing, the feet must be fit-
ted prior to use (Fig. 3) (only H 274 TF)!
• After switching on the appliance for the first time and also after
prolonged operation without heating, the appliance may smell for
a short time.
Wall mounting:
• The minimum distances must be observed (Figs. 4 and 5).
• For wall mounting, care must be taken not to damage concealed
cables. For this reason, no holes must be made above or below
wall power sockets.
• The appliance may only be operated when mounted vertically on
a wall (Fig. 2). The appliance must not be mounted on ceilings.
• The appliance should be fitted and connected by a qualified elec-
trician.
The installation must be isolated from the supply before carrying
out electrical work.
• For this purpose, in the case of appliances without mains plug, an
all-pole switch with minimum 3mm contact opening must be pro-
vided in the permanent electrical installation.
• The appliance can only be wall mounted with the feet removed
(only H 274 TF). Mounting, see Fig. 2 and 3.
Towel rail (only H 276 TUH):
When the towel rail is folded upwards (see Fig. 9 a), the heat output
is reduced automatically to 800 watt.
Indicator light (only H 275 TS):
The indicator lights during heating.
Temperature setting "T":
• The thermostatic control T should be set to "MAX": Once the
required room temperature is reached, it can be turned back until
a "click" (switch off) can be heard (Fig. 6/6a). This set temperature
will be kept almost constant by the thermostatic control switching
on and off automatically.
Timer "U" (only H 276 TUH):
With the timer the appliance can be operated for maximum 60 min-
utes without interruption. The time can be reset at any time also dur-
ing operation.

Frost protection:
• When the temperature falls below +5 °C...+8 °C, the appliance
switches on automatically (Fig. 8/8a).
Overheat protection:
• The built-in overheat protection automatically switches off the
appliance in the event of a fault! In this case (depending on
model), the plug must be disconnected from the socket and
the controls set to "OFF/0"! After a short cooling phase, the
appliance is ready to use again! If the fault should reoccur,
contact your authorised retailer!
Cleaning:
• First switch off the appliance and disconnect the plug from the
socket! Do not use any abrasive or caustic cleaning agents!
• Clean the housing with a moist cloth, vacuum cleaner or brush.
• Never immerse the appliance in water! Danger to life!
• If the appliance is not going to be used for some time, it should
be protected against excessive dust and dirt.
For appliances without mains plug:
• First isolate the appliance from the supply.
For this purpose, in the case of appliances without mains plug, an
all-pole switch with minimum 3mm contact opening must be pro-
vided in the permanent electrical installation
Disposal:
• Old appliances must be disposed of in a proper manner!

AFTER-SALES SERVICE:
