3. Appliance description
The appliance is a wall mounted electric heating plate made of
toughened safety glass.
A heating mat is glued to the back of the glass plate which warms
the plate evenly.
The heat stored in the glass plate is delivered as infra-red radia-
tion. Consequently, occupants and objects alike are heated in the
room without any air turbulence.
Note
Never place objects between the appliance and persons
requiring heating. In this case, the objects would be heat-
ed rather than the persons.
