FAQ Infrared-Heaters

1. What is convection?

Convection describes the warming up of the environmental air in this context, with the help of
a conventional radiator. The warmed up environment-air rises on the basis of its lower density
and pushes colder air toward the ground. The colder air is warmed up by the radiator on the
other hand and rises as warmer air upward in turn. Consequently, an air-circulation starts.
Convection-heaters have a more inferior efficiency as infrared-heaters.
During this air-circulation dust is dispersed and distributes in the room. You still get cold feet
since the warm air climbs upward permanently.

2. What is infrared-radiation?

The infrared-radiation are electromagnetic waves, which warms up the bodies independent
from the environment-air. Infrared-radiation you can compare the best with the radiation of
the sun. The infrared-rays of the sun or the radiator are adsorbed by the surrounding solid
objects, what leads to a warming up.
Infrared-radiation is beneficial for human being and animal and not to confuse with the
damaging UV -, x-raying - or radioactive radiation.

3. How to fit the Kuschelwarm-heating system?

An instruction sheet, in which each step is described in detail, is included with each
Kuschelwarm-heating system. The heating system can quite simply be fortified easily with the
included fortification-materials at the wall.

4. Can the Kuschelwarm-heating system be installed directly beside shower or bathtub?

Is it against the humidity and splash water in the bath resistant?
The infrared – heating system carries an European recognized test bath and is protected
before splash water, i.e. it is protected against normal splash water in the bath and is resistant
against a normal humidity in the bath .
Attention! Electric appliances must have a minimum-distance of 60 cm to the next waterconnection
generally.

5. How highly is the efficiency of the Kuschelwarm-heater?

The Kuschelwarm-heating system has an efficiency of 100%, i.e. all losses are transformed
automatically at the radiator in heat. The energy is used by it to 100% for heating.

6. How much heat-radiation generates the Kuschelwarm heater in the comparison to a
conventional convection-heater?

The Kuschelwarm-heating system generates approximately 70% heat-radiations and 30%
convections. Conventional hot water-heaters work with an approximately reverse
relationship.

7. Are there the Kuschelwarm-heating systems also in other formats?

We have a selection of over 20 different formats. From rectangle over circle until to particular
forms like candles or butterflies, we lead a wide palette to deliver you with the matching
heater for your Wellness-Home. Which formats you can cover in which implementation in
series, you find into our partner Shops or records. We like to offer further size on inquiry. We
adjudicate here per inquiry, whether and until when we can move the wish.

8. Do wear-parts exist?

No, there are no wear-parts at the Kuschelwarm-heating systems.

9. How long is the guarantee-time for this Kuschelwarm-heater?

The manufacturer-guarantee runs over a time period of 24 months.

10. How the Kuschelwarm-heating system is to be served?

The service is very easy. Only one Euro-plug must be put into the socket that the element is
working. Optional we offer also external accessories . Whether separated regulation of the
area-temperature, direct connection with reconstruction or time-control, all may be possible.

11. Which check characters do the Kuschelwarm-heating systems have?

The infrared – heating systems have the CE conformity-explanation, which states, that the
product keeps all necessary European norms. Further check characters for countries, in which
our products will expel already longer time, exist.

12. Generate the Kuschelwarm-heating systems electro-smog?

The Kuschelwarm-heating systems generate less electro-smog than a normal light bulb.

13. How hotly does the surface become?

The maximum surface-temperature of the Kuschelwarm-heating systems be at the bottom of
85°C. If the Kuschelwarm-heater is partially covered, this is dissuaded urgently, the
temperature also ascends. Nevertheless it survives no danger of combustions if the
Kuschelwarm-heating system is touched.

14. What happens if I cover the Kuschelwarm-heating system?

A heat accumulation occurs. We have a temperature-protection for this case installed, which
protects the Kuschelwarm-heater before an overheating.
Attention! Despite this temperature-protection, you should cover the heating system in no
case. Either the heating system doesn't shall used as dryers for towels or is used similar.

15. How is the function-manner of the infrared – heating system?

The technology of the heating system is directly behind the decor-side. By electric heating
pipeline, heat is generated and is taken away through radiation of the surface, also as through
the generated airflow by convection-canals on the rear. To the guarantee of an efficient
energy-exploitation, heat-losses are reduced by heat insulation at the rear of the radiator. The
convection-canals are installed in Business Class and First Class.

16. Occur it an electric hit by breaking of the decor- side from mirror or glass?

No, the technology is very well isolated and separated from the optic-side. It survives no
danger.
