Remove the appliance from the packaging, turn upside down and rest on the polystyrene.
Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during transportation. Do not operate the appliance if damaged.
Remove the feet and the castors (if provided) from the polystyrene packing.
Fit the castors to the spindles on the feet and push firmly until they click into position (fig. 1).
Pull each castor to check that it is fitted correctly. In certain models, the castors are already mounted on the feet. Using the threaded u-bolt and wing nuts, fit the feet to the bottom of the radiator between the last two elements as shown in figures 2, 3 and 4. Depending on the type of feet supplied, type A or B, mount the feet as shown in figure 5 or 6.
Mount the foot without castors by inserting the two guides (C fig. 7) into the holes on the bottom of the control box (fig. 7). Fit the tooth into the slot provided and lock the foot with the eye screw (fig. 8).
After fitting, turn the radiator back into the vertical operating position.
Plug into the mains socket. Turn the thermostat to maximum. Switch the radiator on using the switch/switches following the procedures given in points a) - b).
a) Models with single switch (1 power level):
b) Models with double switch (3 power levels)
To turn appliance off, switch off both switches or remove plug from wall socket.
When the room has reached the required temperature, turn the thermostat slowly anticlockwise until the indicator light goes out (or until you hear a "click") and no further. The set temperature will then be regulated automatically and kept constant by the thermostat.
With the thermostat in position 
and the switches pressed, the appliance maintains the room at a temperature of about 5°C, preventing freezing with minimum energy consumption.
If you wish to use the timer, position the switch in the middle position 
(Fig. 9).
Check the time on your watch. If for example it is 4.00 pm. (16.00), turn the dial in a clockwise direction until the number 16 is lined up with the triangular pointer (fig.10).
N.B.: Never turn the dial in an anti-clockwise direction!
The timer is in effect an electric clock and works only if the plug is connected to the power supply.
Whenever the plug is disconnected or there is a power failure, the clock must be re-set.
To program the timer
1) Set the operating times by pushing in the notches on the dial corresponding to the period required (each notch represents 15 mins. fig.11)
2) Make sure that the timer indicates the correct time (see instructions on setting the correct time).
3) Turn the radiatior on and set it to the heat setting and temperature level on the thermostat as required.
Once programmed in this way, the appliance will repeat the pre-established program every day, if the selector is in the position.
Timer override
If you wish to override the timer settings, push the timer switch to position 1 (fig.9) manual (timer override). To return to timed operation push the switch back to the middle position (fig.9).
NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0 position (fig.9), the heater is off and will not operate).
Some models are fitted with a heating fan which heats the room more quickly.
To turn this function on, push the button into the 
position.
Important: a safety device cuts in and switches off the appliance if it overheats due to an accumulation of dust on the air intake and output grills. To restart it, unplug from the mains and leave the appliance to cool down. Clean the air intake and output grills with a vacuum cleaner, then replug into the mains and turn on again.
Some models are fitted with a tilt-switch turns the appliance off if it should fall over. To restart the appliance, simply place it upright again.
Before carrying out any operation on the radiator, unplug from the electric mains and wait for it to cool.
The oil-filled electric radiator requires no particular maintenance. It is sufficient to remove the dust with a soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive powders or solvents. If necessary remove concentrations of dirt using a vacuum cleaner.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, never under any circumstances cover the appliances during operation, as this would lead to dangerous overheating.
CAUTION: In order e to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
The appliance is fitted with a safety device which will switch off it in case of accidental overheating. To reset, contact an authorised service centre.
ATTENTION: in order to avoid any danger caused by an accidental resetting of the safety system, this appliance must not be powered through an external timer.
