Operation

Start-up: Odours may occur initially. Observe minimum distances from walls/objects (Technical Annex).

General Operation: Avoid open doors and windows.

Control Panel:

• TDS 75 R: Features a rotary switch (19) for temperature setting and a selection switch (20) for heating levels (0: Off, : Ventilation only, : Heating level 1, : Heating level 2, : Heating level 3).
• TDS 120 R: Similar controls: rotary switch (19) for temperature and selection switch (20) for heating levels (0: Off, : Ventilation only, : Heating level 1, : Heating level 2).

Before Restarting: Check power cable condition. Set device upright and stable. Avoid tripping hazards with cables. Ensure extension cables are unrolled. Ensure no obstructions to airflow. Keep away from moisture/water.

Connecting the Power Cable: Insert mains plug into a fused socket. Guide cable along the back of the device.

Switching the device on: Set selection switch (20) to desired heating level.

Setting the room thermostat: Select desired temperature using rotary switch (19). The thermostat automatically controls room temperature, switching heating off when set value is exceeded and the fan continues to cool down the heater.

Shutdown: Switch off using selection switch (20) to position 0. Fan runs for approx. 3 minutes for rundown operation. Wait for fan to stop, then unplug by holding the plug. Allow to cool down. Clean and store.

Errors and Faults

Warning: Opening the device requires authorized specialists.

Troubleshooting:

• Device does not start: Check power connection, cable/plug for damage, on-site fusing, room temperature (thermostat might have switched off), motor (defective motor needs replacement), or room thermostat (defective thermostat needs replacement). Wait 10 minutes before restarting. If still not starting, have electrics checked.
• Device on, fan running, no heating: Check room temperature, overheating protection (see Safety), heating resistor (blown resistor needs replacement), or room thermostat (defective thermostat needs replacement).
• Fan not running: Check if device is switched on, power connection, cable/plug for damage, fan motor (defective motor needs replacement).
• Air current reduced: Check air inlet/outlet for obstructions and dirt. Observe minimum distances.
• Device loud or vibrates: Check if device is set up stably and upright.
