Description

The Hybrid Panel Heater by VASNER - Now also Available in Black

With the new Konvi heating panel in black, VASNER extends its successful hybrid series. Like the popular models in white, the black panel heater with thermostat combines targeted infrared radiation and familiar convection warmth. So you benefit from two different types of heat at the same time: Direct infrared waves, which distribute sun-like warmth throughout the entire room, and a simultaneous heating of the room air. Your advantage? Even quicker warmth and increased energy efficiency.

Design and Operation of the Hybrid Panel Heater with Thermostat

Just like mere infrared heating panels, the whole surface of the black hybrid radiator emits even warmth. This is thanks to the high-quality infrared technology installed behind the front panel of the device. What makes this innovative heater so special is the simultaneous heating of the room air. The openings at the top and bottom of the black infrared heating panel enable a natural chimney effect. The air near the floor rises through the slits, is heated by infrared rays inside the device and then escapes through the upper openings. In other words, the 600, 900 or 1200 watts of output is used twice for an even faster, more efficient heating effect. You can choose how intensively the room is heated using the thermostat dial on the side of the unit.

The Original by VASNER - Hybrid Heating Panels with Convectors for Maximum Efficiency

The entire Konvi series stands out from other, similar products on the market thanks to a decisive quality feature. During the heating process, the air not only passes through a simple empty space inside the radiator. Instead, the interior of the VASNER hybrid panel heater is equipped with convector plates. The special fins expand the metal surface that heats the air as it rises. This way, the room air is brought to an even higher temperature much more quickly. The crucial VASNER quality difference.

The Infrared Panel Heater with Thermostat for Stepless Temperature Control

For easy and convenient control, the hybrid infrared heater has an integrated thermostat knob. This can be turned continuously to select the target temperature even more precisely. As soon as you have set the desired temperature level, the black panel heater with thermostat starts heating. This is indicated by the LED status light above the dial. Each time the target room temperature is reached, the heating panel stops operating automatically. Only when it measures a lower temperature does the infrared radiator unfold its full heating power again.

Wall Mounting in just a Few Steps

The supplied mounting bracket achieves several advantages at the same time. On the one hand, it enables a quick and easy wall installation of the heating panel with just a few screws. Simply secure it in the desired location using the included screws and let the black infrared radiator snap into place. That's it! In addition, the well thought-out bracket ensures that the panel heater with thermostat rests as closely as possible against the wall. Despite its dual heating technology, the designer heater has a shallow housing depth of only 4,3 cm. When mounted on the wall, the infrared heater in black has a highly elegant appearance and quickly lets you forget that it has an impressive heating power of 600 - 1200 watts.

Additional Feet Transform the Black Panel Heater into a Mobile Heat Source

In VASNER's online shop you can also buy additional feet for the Konvi infrared heating panel. These are specially designed to ensure a distance of 5 cm between the radiator and the floor. Ideal for maximally efficient convection. Thanks to the convenient pedestals, the black panel heater with thermostat can easily be moved from room to room. This newly gained mobility combined with the long power cord and self-sufficient temperature control make the hybrid radiator an independent and flexible heating system for additional warmth.

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.
The VASNER Konvi panel is the high-quality and effective heat source for additional radiant warmth in living spaces. To estimate the wattage required to heat each m², please use our online calculator >>
