3.  Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.

Overheating protection
The device is provided with a safety thermostat which is activated by overheating of the device (when exceeding the operating temperature). Once the safety thermostat has switched itself on, the device will be turned off. When the device has cooled down sufficiently, the heating will be switched back on. Investigate the cause of overheating. If the safety thermostat does not switch in the event of overheating, the overheating protection will be tripped. In that case the device switches off completely. If so, please contact customer service to have the overheating protection replaced.

Device description

The designer glass convector TCH 2010 E / TCH 2011 E is used to generate warm air for interior spaces. The device generates heat by means of an electric heating element. The air surrounding the heating element is heated. The heated air rises through the air outlet and thus creates a natural suction that makes the cold room airflow into the device. The device is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor that controls the heating depending on the current and the desired room temperature. Using the touch panel integrated in the safety glass, you can set a target temperature value between 15 °C and 35 °C. Moreover, the device is equipped with a remote control that can be used for controlling all functions and settings. The feet’s integrated castors allow for a convenient positioning of the device inside the room. The castors are fitted with a parking brake so as to prevent the device from rolling away inadvertently. The functioning of the two devices is identical, they merely differ in appearance or to be precise in colour: The TCH 2010 E is white and the TCH 2011 E black.

•  Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The device is switched on, but the heating is not operating:

•  Check the room temperature. The room thermostat may have switched off, because the desired room temperature has been reached.
•  Check whether the overheating protection has tripped (see chapter Safety).
•  The heating resistor might have blown. Have a defective heating resistor replaced by a specialist electrical company.
•  The room thermostat might be defective. Have a defective room thermostat replaced by a specialist electrical company.

The air current is reduced:

Check the air inlet and outlet. Make sure that air inlet and outlet are not obstructed. Remove any dirt. Observe the minimum distance from walls or other objects according to the technical data.

The device does not respond to the infrared remote control:

•  Check whether the distance between remote control and device is too large and reduce it if necessary.
•  Make sure there are no obstacles, such as furniture or walls, between the device and the remote control. Ensure visual contact between device and remote control.
•  Check the charging status of the batteries and change them if required.
•  If the batteries have just been changed, check them for correct polarity.

Note
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.

The device still does not operate correctly after these checks:

Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorized specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
