Heating operation
Depending on the thermal insulation standard of your premises, the heater uses between 30 and
200 W/m² of living space. Glass radiation heaters have a very high radiation share and a low convection
share. As the surface temperature is limited to approx. 100°C for safety reasons, the overall output of
the appliance is limited. For this reason, the appliance is only suitable as the only heating system in
houses that are very well insulated.
The Olsberg glass radiation heater heats mainly solid bodies while there is only minimal direct heat
transfer to the ambient air. The appliance is therefore very suitable as an auxiliary heater. To achieve
the same comfort as with a convention heating system, the room temperature can be lowered by about
2 to 3°C. For every degree by which the room temperature is lowered, the heating costs are reduced by
approx. 6%, depending on the heating system and thermal insulation standard. The glass radiation
heater is then only switched on when the room is actually used.
Depending on the size of the appliance, the glass radiation heater needs some time to achieve its
operating temperature at which the radiation effect is at its optimum.
If required, the appliance can be switched on by a room thermostat or an external switch. The surface is
heated automatically.
The glass panel has been specifically designed for the product and consists of TSG toughened safety
glass. This panel is much stronger than conventional glass panels and can withstand greater impacts It
is however recommended to protect the glass against excessive stress. When breaking, the TSG glass
shatters into many small parts with blunt edges that minimise the risk of injury. When choosing a
location for installation, please note that there is a very small residual risk of spontaneous breakage ,
i.e. breakage of the glass panel without any external impact. Therefore ensure that the appliance is not
installed in a place where such spontaneous breakage could cause injury to people or damage to
property.
Caution:
Any load on the glass panel, for example by leaning against it or by the impact of other forces
must be avoided!
Do not place any objects between the radiation heater and the person who is to be kept warm, as this
would heat up the object rather than the person.
Caution:
While the glass radiation heater is in operation, its surfaces become very hot. Contact may
cause injury from burns. The appliance is not suitable for unsupervised use by children or by persons
with learning disabilities, limited sensory capacity or physical disabilities. Ensure that it is not operated
by persons who, due to lack of experience and/or knowledge, might not be aware of the risks
associated with it, unless they are supervised and instructed by a person who has read the operating
manual. Ensure that the appliance cannot be switched on by children while unsupervised.
The high surface temperatures are required to ensure a proper heating effect across the distance
between the heater and the person to be kept warm.
Caution:
Do not place any objects on the glass radiation heater! Do not cover
the glass surface as this could lead to overheating! Even partial covering of the
glass panel, for example with a hand towel, can cause the heating conductor to
become damaged.
Warning:
Do not use the glass radiation heater if the glass panel is damaged.
