Description

The Vertical Hybrid Panel Heater - Now Available in Black!

As of now, VASNER's vertical panel heater is also available in black. Like the classic white Konvi VE, its black counterpart is ideal for mounting on narrow sections of wall. From there, the infrared panel heater with thermostat provides extremely quick warmth - thanks to VASNER's hybrid technology. The vertical heating panel emits a mixture of infrared radiation and convection. So you benefit from an efficient, dual heating effect. Direct infrared waves, which create an immediate feeling of warmth upon impact with your body, and traditionally heated air work together to raise the room temperature as quickly as possible.

Operation of the Hybrid Panel Heater with Thermostat

Like a simple infrared heating panel, the whole surface of the vertical hybrid heater emits even radiant warmth. This is made possible by the quality infrared technology installed behind the entire surface of the device. The high efficiency of the panel heater with thermostat is further rounded off by an additional heating of the room air. For this purpose, there are air slits at the top and bottom of the vertical infrared heating panel, which enable a natural chimney effect. The air near the floor rises up through the openings, is then heated inside the electric heater and released back into the room from the upper slots. As a result, the total thermal power of 900 or 1200 watts is used in two ways for maximum efficiency when heating. The intensity of the generated warmth can be adjusted with the integrated thermostat knob.

Significant Quality Difference - Original Hybrid Technology by VASNER

The Konvi VE vertical panel heater is not only visually unique. Especially the inner technology of the black designer piece distinguishes it from other similarly constructed hybrid heaters on the market. The high efficiency of the electric heater can be attributed to the convector plates in the housing of the device. Instead of passing through a mere empty space when rising up, the room air encounters special fins inside the heater. These serve to increase the surface area of the metal which transfers its heat to the air. The result: Thanks to these convector plates, the VASNER hybrid radiator manages to increase the room temperature more dramatically in even less time. True VASNER quality.

The Infrared Panel Heater with a Mechanical Thermostat for Flexible Heat Regulation

For quick and easy temperature control, the Konvi VE vertical panel heater has a mechanical thermostat. The integrated control knob can be continuously adjusted to determine the ideal room temperature even more precisely. As soon as you have decided on a certain temperature level, the panel heater with thermostat starts heating. This is indicated by the LED status light above the rotary knob. When the target temperature is reached, the elegant infrared heating panel in black reacts by automatically reducing its output. Once a lower temperature is measured again later on, the hybrid heater will revert back to its full heating power.

Easy Installation of the Vertical Panel Heater Konvi VE

All VASNER infrared heating panels are supplied with matching mounting brackets. Konvi VE vertical radiators can therefore be mounted quickly and easily on the wall. Simply install the bracket in the desired spot using the enclosed screws and slide the vertical panel heater into place. That's it! Another advantage of the VASNER Konvi bracket is that it allows for a small distance between the wall and the hybrid heating panel. The 4,3 cm flat electric heater with thermostat therefore nestles tightly against the wall and seems almost weightless. So discreet and elegant that you almost forget the 900 - 1200 watts of maximum power that the heating device emits in infrared radiation and warm air. A perfect combination of functionality and design.

Note: Fixed Connection / Power Plug

• For a permanent connection to the mains, the power plug must be disconnected.
• The warranty of the device will remain 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.

Details on the Use of the Infrared Heating Panel

Optional: Automated control via digital thermostat:

• The hybrid infrared panel heater can also be controlled with an electronic thermostat in order to define individual heating programmes.
• If an electronic thermostat is also used, the mechanically integrated thermostat of the heating panel must always be set to the highest level (ON).
• Digital thermostat is not included (see accessories)
