Operation instructions

1.1

Unit description

The VH 211 is an electrically powered direct heating unit for wall mounting. It is suitable for full
heating, for example in the bathroom, or as transitional and supplementary heating for smaller rooms,
such as hobby rooms and guest rooms.
To provide heating, ambient air is drawn in by the unit fan through openings in the rear panel, and is
then heated by the heating element and blown out evenly and without creating draughts, through the
air outflow grid (2) at the bottom of the unit.
1.2

Operation

Using the thermostat knob (1), the desired temperature can be adjusted between approximately 5 °C
and 35 °C.
The thermostat within the unit then keeps the ambient air constantly at the set value, by repeatedly
activating the heating for short periods.
Frost protection
If the unit is used as a frost protection safeguard, the thermostat knob should be turned fully
anticlockwise until it reaches the end limit stop. In this setting, the thermostat automatically switches
on the heating when the room temperature falls to approximately 5 °C.
The electricity supply must be isolated to take the unit out of operation.
External room thermostat
If required, the unit can be operated with a generally available external room thermostat. In these
circumstances the thermostat knob should be turned clockwise to the end limit stop. The room
thermostat should be fitted as far away from the unit as possible and at a height of at least 1.5 m.
