Frico Elztrip EZ300 Instructions Originales page 13

Start-up
When the unit is used for the first time or after
a long period of non-use, smoke or an odour
may result from dust or dirt which has collected
on the element. This is completely normal and
disappears after a short time.
Maintenance
The power supply to the unit must be
disconnected during all service, repair and
maintenance work. Wait until the unit is
cold. The unit has no moving parts so the
maintenance requirement is small, but it must
be kept clean and free from dust and dirt.
• There might be a rattling noise the first time
of use when the surface coating of the panels
is settling.
• In all electrical heating appliances, small
clicks can occur due to movement when the
material expands and contracts with changes
in temperature.
• The product should always be handled with
clean gloves. Make sure the product is clean
before it is switched on.
• Presence of aerosols, lacquer, solvents,
dust and similar may cause a coating on the
product and discolor them.
• A slight change of colour of the product
over time is normal. Incorrect installation or
uncommonly high ambient temperature can
cause increased discoloration. The output is
not affected.
Residual current circuit breaker
When the installation is protected by means of
a residual current circuit breaker, which trips
when the appliance is connected, this may be
due to moisture in the heating element. When
an appliance containing a heater element has
not been used for a long period or stored in
a damp environment, moisture can enter the
element.
This should not be seen as a fault, but is
simply rectified by connecting the appliance to
the main supply via a socket without a safety
cut-out so that the moisture can be eliminated
from the element. The drying time can vary
from a few hours to a few days. As a preventive
measure, the unit should occasionally be run
for a short time when it is not being used for
extended periods of time.
Packaging
Packaging materials are chosen with
consideration to the environment and are
therefore recyclable.
