Description

With the Citara S mirror, VASNER presents an ultra-slim heating panel that exceeds highest standards of design and completely redefines cosy warmth. Mounted on the wall in your hallway, bathroom or office, the elegant panel heater emits invisible infrared radiation. Unlike heated air, the thermal waves spread evenly throughout the room and penetrate all surfaces. Your walls, floor and ceiling become a kind of heat storage and in turn re-emit the radiant warmth. In other words, you are gently surrounded by sun-like warmth throughout the entire room. Despite this innovative, sustainable heating effect, the infrared mirror heater remains almost unrecognisable as a radiator. With high-quality coated mirror glass and a wafer-thin frame in white, it looks like a conventional wall mirror that can be mounted horizontally above the washbasin or vertically in the hallway. The mirror heating panel can be used anywhere in the house thanks to its IP44 splash water protection and latest tempered safety glass. Depending on the model, 300 - 900 watts of infrared warmth are emitted by the bathroom heater. Incomparable heating power combined with an ultra-flat casing (2,5 cm deep). The heaters work most efficiently in combination with a separately available, programmable thermostat for a time-dependent maintenance of any target temperature. In addition, VASNER's patented bracket enables a quick, secure wall mounting with a 2,8 cm gap to the selected surface, which prevents heat build-up. With a 5-year warranty, the high quality and safety of the mirror heaters are further confirmed.

Note: Mobile use with additionally available feet (ATTENTION: feet not suitable for Citara 300 W & 550 W models). 

Details on the Use of the Infrared Mirror Heater

Efficient Control via Thermostat:

• To use infrared heating panels efficiently, an electronic thermostat is necessary
• Thermostat is not included (see accessories)
• The selection of a suitable thermostat depends on the intended application
• Advantages of programmable thermostats: Automatic temperature change according to time & day, individually programmable + standard heating programs, quick selection settings, frost protection function
• Panel heaters have an open interface, i.e. they are compatible with every thermostat system
• Also ideal for integration into smart home environments
• The heating panel is compatible with thermostats of other manufacturers.
• Matching VASNER thermostats:
• VFTB wireless thermostat set
• VUT35 universal socket thermostat
• VFT35 wireless thermostat set

Current Load and Fuse:

• A standard household power line delivers about 3,5 kW at 16 amperes.
• Citara S infrared panel heaters have an output of 300 - 900 watts = 0,3 – 0,9 kW.
• Multiple heating panels can be connected per circuit.
• For simultaneous operation together with several other electrical devices in the same area, a second supply line may be necessary, depending on the total load.
• An additional power line can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Safety Distance to Flammable Materials:

• To the front: 30 cm
• Upwards / downwards + to each side: 10 cm
• 60 cm to water sources

Heating Costs:

• At an average electricity price of 29 cents per kWh:
• 300 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,3 kW ≈ 0,09 € / h ≈ 9 cents per hour
• 450 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,45 kW ≈ 0,13 € / h ≈ 13 cents per hour
• 550 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,55 kW ≈ 0,16 € / h ≈ 16 cents per hour
• 700 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,7 kW ≈ 0,20 € / h ≈ 20 cents per hour
• 900 watts: 0,29 € / kWh * 0,9 kW ≈ 0,26 € / h ≈ 26 cents per hour

Note: Fixed Connection / Power Plug

• For a permanent connection to the mains, the power plug must be disconnected.
• The warranty of the device remains valid.
• A direct connection of the heater to the mains may only be carried out in accordance with the legal guidelines by means of digital control and by an authorised person (master electrician).

Note:
Maximum efficiency: Approx. 99% of the electrical energy used is converted into thermal output.
