Overheating protection
The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is
activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the
operating temperature).
Once the safety thermostat has switched itself on, the device
will be turned off.
When the device has cooled down sufficiently, the heating will
be switched back on.
Investigate the cause of overheating.
If the safety thermostat does not switch in the event of
overheating, the overheating protection will be tripped. In that
case the device switches off completely. If so, please contact
the customer service to have the overheating protection
replaced.
Information about the device
Device description
The convector TCH1510E / 2510E is used to generate warm
air for interior spaces.
The device generates heat by means of an electric heating
element. The air surrounding the heating element is heated. The
heated air rises through the air outlet and thus creates a natural
suction that makes the cold room air flow into the device.
The device is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor
which controls the heating depending on the current and the
desired room temperature.
The appliance is also equipped with a child lock which prevents
access to the control panel by means of a lock.
Via the control panel you can set a target temperature value
between 0°C and 50°C.
The device can be positioned firmly in the room by means of the
feet. In addition, the device can alternatively be mounted on the
wall.
The functioning of the two devices is identical, the devices differ
in heating capacity and dimensions.

Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment
must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of
its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste
electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local
administration. You can also find out about other return options
that apply for many EU countries on the
website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090.
Otherwise, please contact an official recycling centre for
electronic and electrical equipment authorised for your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
