Information about the device

Device description

The electric heater serves to generate and distribute warm air,

e.g. in interior spaces.

The device generates heat by means of a heating element. The

air surrounding the heating element is heated. The heated air is

blown into the room by a fan.

The device is equipped with an integrated thermostat and so

generates a constant flow of warm air.

Fan operation without heating function is also possible.
