Information about the device
Device description
The convector TCH2310E/ TCH2311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.
In addition, the device is equipped with a fan serving for a faster
distribution of the heated air.
The device is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor
which controls the heating depending on the current and the
desired room temperature.
Via the control panel integrated in the housing you can set a
target temperature value between5°C and37°C.
Moreover, the device is equipped with a remote control that can
be used for controlling all functions and settings.
The integrated timer makes it possible to switch the device off
with time delay.
The functioning of the two devices is identical, they merely
differ in appearance or to be precise in colour: The device
TCH2310E comes in white colour, the TCH2311E is black.
