Description and Operation

Thermologika is a wall mounted, infrared, auxilliary
heating lamp. It is ideal for domestic and commercial
use, particularly where heat is required virtually
instantly, and in rooms open towards the outside.
Thermologika functions on the principle of irradiation
(just like the sun's own rays). The appliance's infrared
rays directly heat the objects they reach.
Since Thermologika contains no moving parts, it is
exceptionally silent during operation.
A pull-cord switch turns the appliance on and off and
also selects the heating power.
These appliances have been
designed for use in residential
and commercial properties.
