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.

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
f Rotate the wall mounting brackets with the slot apertures f
downwards.
f Tighten the fixing screws by hand. f
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.
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 f
stone heater (see chapter "Specification / Dimensions and
connections").
f Based on the measurements, drill the holes in a wall with f
sufficient load bearing capacity.
f Only screw the hexagon screws far enough into the drill f
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
f Relieve any possible tension by slightly loosening the hexa- f
gon screws. Retighten the screws subsequently.

10.2 Electrical connection

Material losses
!
- Trim the power cable so it leads directly to the appli-
ance connection socket.
- When trimming the power cable, ensure that the
natural stone heater can still be easily removed from
the wall.
f Connect the power cable to a suitable socket. f
