Ultra flat heaters....fire hazard or not?


Clubs

Recommended Posts

I installed one of these 0.5kw hanging ultra flat heaters today. It's got the temps up incredibly well but I have a concern.

It's been running for a good 4 or 5 hours now. I put my hand in behind it to feel how hot the wall was and it's pretty damned hot, not burning but really warm.

Anyone else using one? 

It's a timber wall that's been painted. 

TIA

I've gone and moved it. It now hangs from the ceiling with a few inches between the panel and the wall, kind of flaps about in the airflow too.

You're right, I wouldn't have slept for thinking about it.
