1. GENERAL FEATURES

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.

2. FITTING THE FEET

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.

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Before plugging the radiator into the mains, check that the voltage of your mains electricity supply corresponds to the value V indicated on the appliance and that the socket and power line are appropriately dimensioned.
• CONNECT THE RADIATOR TO EFFICIENTLY EARTHED SOCKETS ONLY

4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Switching on

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):

• button in position «I» = Total power on (indicator light on);
• button in position «0» = (indicator light off)

b) Models with double switch (3 power levels)

• button in position «l» = minimum power (indicator light on);
• button in position «ll» = intermediate power (indicator light on);
• both buttons in position «l» «ll» = maximum power (indicator lights on)

To turn appliance off, switch off both switches or remove plug from wall socket.

Adjusting the thermostat

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.

Frost protection function

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.

Models with 24-hour timer Using the timer

If you wish to use the timer, position the switch in the middle position (Fig. 9).

Setting the correct time

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).

TURBO HEATING

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.

MODELS WITH 'Tilt-switch'

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.

5. MAINTENANCE
