ATTENTION: If the power cord of the unit is damaged, it
must be replaced immediately.
The device is connected to the AC mains system with the inclu-
ded plug and socket with connected power cord and a connec-
tion socket on the installation side.
If a longer power cord is required then the cord can be ex-
changed for a longer one of type H05VV-F 3 x1.0 mm². A direct
connection to an installed line is only permitted up to a diame-
ter of 1.5 mm² (e.g. NYM-J 3 x 1.5 mm²).
An all-pole disconnecting device with a contact opening width
of at least 3 mm must be installed in the fixed electrical instal-
lation in accordance with wiring rules on the installation side.
Heating
The heater is either controlled by the externally moun-
ted thermostat (LAVA
®
) or via a wireless room thermostat
(LAVA
®
-F) or via the already integrated thermostat (LAVA
®
-R).
In the wireless versions (LAVA
®
-F) the wireless receiver is
already integrated on the device. The wireless room ther-
mostat, which is necessary for the operation is not included.
This can be ordered as accessory (see p. 7). Please refer to the
manual of the room thermostat.

USER INSTRUCTION
Electrical connection
The heater is designed for permanent connection to a wall jack
or socket. The control has to be done due to a suitable room
thermostat. Please refer to the instructions of the room ther-
mostat.

Heating
Depending on the thermal insulation standard, you need a heat
output from 30 to 200 W/m². The LAVA
®
design infrared heater
has a very high radiation fraction and a low proportion of the
convective heat output. For safety reasons, the surface tem-
perature, is max. about 95 °C, thus the overall performance of
the device is limited. For this reason, these devices are used
only in very well insulated houses as a sole heating solution.
ETHERMA LAVA
®
design infrared heaters warm predominantly
solid objects and only a small proportion of the air directly, so
these devices are ideal for additional temperature control. In or-
der to achieve the same feeling of comfort as with a convection
heating, the indoor air temperature can be lowered by 2-3 °C.
Each degree reduction can save about 6 % heating costs, depen-
ding on the respective heating behavior and thermal insulation
standard. Only if a room is actually used, the LAVA
®
design in-
frared heater is additionally turned on and the radiation provi-
des a cosy feeling.
Depending on the size of the device the LAVA
®
design infrared
heater requires some time until it reaches operating tempe-
rature. Only after that the radiation comes into full effect. The
produced glass sheet for the product consists of 6 mm toughe-
ned safety glass (ESG). This is in contrast to conventional glass
much more resistant and is designed for signicantly higher
impact forces. However, you should avoid excessive use. In
case of damage ESG shatters into many small pieces with blunt
edges, to minimize the risk of injury.
Please note in locating, that it can come to a very small per-
centage of toughened glasses yet to so-called "spontaneous
breakage", i.e that the glass shatters, even without external
inuence. Choose the setup of the device in a way that also in
this case there is no danger to people or objects.
ATTENTION: Any kind of load on the whether by leaning effects
of persons or objects, or by other forces have to be avoided!
Please note that you don’t place any objects between the LAVA
®
design infrared heater and the persons to be heated. In this
case, the goods and not the peole would be heated.
Maintenance and care
The LAVA
®
design infrared heater is designed in a way, that it
provides its heat over the glass surface in the form of radiation.
There are no parts located on the device that require special
maintenance. For the care of your glass radiator, we recom-
mend commercial glass cleaner. Please do not use abrasive
cleaners, as these can cause scratches to the glass as well as
the painted surface.
ATTENTION: For cleaning the LAVA
®
design infrared heater
have to be cold!
Spare Parts
For any replacement parts required please ask your dealer.
Only use original spare parts.
