General
We thank you for purchasing one of our heaters. It
was manufactured in a modern production facility.
An elegant form, simple operation, excellent heat-
ing performance and reliability are the main fea-
tures of this appliance.
This combi heater combines the economy of a
storage heater with the convenience of a convector
heater.
An electric storage heater is an appliance which
draws electricity during the OFF-PEAK period and
converts it into heat which is stored and then dissi-
pated gradually into the room to be heated, de-
pending on the heat load of that area.
The convector heater provides an instant boost on
demand from normal tariff electricity (ON-PEAK).
If the heater is sized correctly it will store enough
heat to keep the room satisfactorily warm. It is of
course an advantage if the dwelling is well insu-
lated as this helps save heating costs. If, for any
reason, the heater installation does not work satis-
factorily, our after-sales service engineers can
check out the system and correct possible prob-
lems.
The important feature of this combi heater is that
the convector heater (ON-PEAK) will stop auto-
matically after a short period when the storage
heater switched on (OFF-PEAK). This saves your
money.

Major components
- Storage core (1):
The storage core bricks are made of a refractory
material which can reach a temperature of more
than 700°C at full heater charge.
- Heat insulation:
The heat insulation allows a continuous and
gradual dissipation of the core heat into the room.
The following materials are used:
∗
Microtherm-G (2) at core front and rear
∗
Mineral wool (3) at the rear and in the left and
right panels
∗
Vermiculite (4) in the support and upper part
of the core
- Sheathed heating elements (5):
heat resistant steel 1.4828
- Direct heating element (6)
- Control, regulation and safety components
which monitor the charge and discharge and the
convection
- Cabinet
stove-enamelled steel.
- Feet
