ELECTRIC HEATER

It is an external module situated in the water inlet duct, as preheating or postheating or extraction
circuit as antifreeze system.

It is created of resistive elements combined to provide the power that you can see in the table below.
Electrical heater is completed with a thermical relay and a security thermostat. Power supply and line
protection has to be carried out by an installer.
