Informații de siguranță

• Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
• Asigurați-vă că alimentarea cu energie electrică este deconectată înainte de orice lucrare de instalare sau întreținere.
• Do not cut or shorten the heating cable. Only the mesh can be cut to shape the mat.
• Avoid damaging the heating cable during installation. Any damage must be repaired by a qualified professional.
• The system must be properly earthed.
• Do not install the heating mat under fixed objects such as bathtubs, showers, or kitchen units without legs, as this can lead to overheating.

Configurare și instalare

The Rointe Milos heating mat is designed for straightforward installation, featuring pre-installed self-adhesive strips for secure placement on the subfloor. This system is ideal for installation under ceramic tiles.

Pregătirea

1. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and free from debris.
2. Plan the layout of the heating mat to cover the desired area, avoiding areas where permanent fixtures will be placed.
3. Install a suitable thermal insulation board beneath the heating mat to minimize heat loss downwards and improve efficiency.
4. Ensure a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate circuit protection (RCD/GFCI) is available for the heating system.

Mat Placement

Unroll the Milos heating mat onto the prepared subfloor. The self-adhesive strips on the back of the mesh will help secure it in place. The mesh can be cut to turn the mat and fit the room's shape, but never cut the heating cable itself.

Embedding the Mat

Once the mat is securely placed, it must be embedded in a layer of flexible tile adhesive or self-leveling compound. Ensure the entire heating cable is fully encapsulated without air pockets.

Conexiune electrica

The cold lead (power cable) of the heating mat must be connected to a suitable thermostat and then to the main electrical supply by a qualified electrician. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with electrical regulations.

Instrucțiuni de operare

The Rointe Milos underfloor heating system operates by converting electrical energy into heat, which is then dissipated into the room primarily through radiation and convection. Heat radiates vertically upwards from the warm floor surface, providing a comfortable and even temperature distribution.

Control of the heating system is managed via a compatible thermostat (sold separately). Refer to the thermostat's instruction manual for specific operating procedures, temperature settings, and programming options.

• Incalzire initiala: After installation, allow the tile adhesive or leveling compound to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 7-28 days) before switching on the heating system.
• Controlul temperaturii: Use the thermostat to set your desired floor or air temperature.
• Eficiență energetică: For optimal energy efficiency, consider programming your thermostat to operate during off-peak hours or to maintain a comfortable temperature rather than constantly adjusting it.

Întreţinere

The Rointe Milos underfloor heating mat is a maintenance-free system once correctly installed. There are no moving parts or components that require regular servicing.

To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your system:

• Avoid placing heavy, insulating objects directly on the heated floor for extended periods, as this can impede heat dissipation and potentially cause localized overheating.
• Do not drill or nail into the floor where the heating mat is installed. Consult floor plans or use a cable locator if any floor penetration is necessary.

Depanare

If your Rointe Milos underfloor heating system is not functioning as expected, consider the following basic checks before contacting support:

• Fara caldura:
  • Check the thermostat settings to ensure it is switched on and set to a temperature above the current room temperature.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker or RCD/GFCI for the heating circuit has not tripped.
  • Ensure the thermostat is receiving power.
• Încălzire neuniformă:
  • This can sometimes be caused by air pockets during installation. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.

For any persistent issues or complex problems, it is strongly recommended to contact a qualified electrician or Rointe customer support. Do not attempt to repair the heating mat yourself.
