1. LOCATION
Place heater on floor beneath coldest window in the room or any desired location. Your hea-
ter will minimize the effect of cold drafts.
The heater must not be located immediately below a socket-outlet.
Do not use this radiator in rooms having a surface area less than 4 m
2
.
2. CONNECTION
This appliance must be grounded.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The radiator must be connected to a properly installed and grounded AC 110-120 V hou-
sehold outlet in perfect working conditions.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. The use of an
extension cord is not recomanded, but if it is necessary to use one, use only a three-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance. The minimum recommanded size of the extension cord is 14 AWG,
rated not less than 1875 Watts.
Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall outlet
where the heater plug is fitted in.
3. SWITCHING ON TWO-SWITCHES MODELS
Turn thermostat clockwise to the maximum position. Switch on both switches. The lights on
the switches remain on indipendent of the cycling of the thermostat. When room reaches
desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise very slowly and carefully
until you hear a “click”. This will automatically set your unit to cycle on and off at that desired
heat setting. (For timer instructions, see point 5)
Note: It will normally require approx.15 minutes to reach operating temperature.
4. USE OF THERMOSTAT
The thermostat operates on room air temperature and not radiator temperature. Counter
clockwise direction - lower number, lower temperature. Clockwise direction- higher number,
higher temperature. On models fitted with timer the tabs must be in the inwards position.
Antifreeze function
Turn the thermostat to the position and press the switches. The appliance will maintain a
minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C thus preventing freezing with a minimum
energy consumption.
REMINDER
To completely shut unit off, ON/OFF switches must be placed in OFF position.
5. UNITS WITH TIMER
Clock setting
The programme/timer, as in all clocks, must be set to the correct time. If for example the time
is 9.30 a.m. (day zone), rotate the dial clockwise (following the direction of the arrow) until
9.30 is aligned with the triangular pointer.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
The timer is in effect an electric clock and only works while plug is connected to the power
supply.
Whenever the plug is disconnected, the timer stops and must be re-set.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
