size sufficient to power this appliance.
- THIS APPLIANCE COMPLIES WITH EEC DIRECTIVE 89/336 REGARDING ELECTROMAGNETIC
COMPATIBILITY.
OPERATION AND USE
Turning the appliance on
- Models with only one switch
This appliance is turned on when you can see the red area on the switch (or, in those models so equipped, when
the warning light on the switch comes on).
- Models with only a thermostat
This appliance can be turned on by rotating its knob clockwise until it stops at the last possible setting.
To turn this appliance off, rotate the knob to its lowest position and remove its plug from the electrical outlet.
- Models with a thermostat and two switches
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise until it reaches its last possible setting, then press one switch (minimum
power) or both switches (maximum power) so the red area becomes visible (or the warning light comes on in
those models so provided).
Adjusting the thermostat
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until you
get to the setting — and not beyond it — where you hear a click (or, for models with warning lights, until those lights turn off).
The thermostat will then adjust that set temperature automatically and keep it constant.
If your appliance is the type with 2 switches, you could utilize only one of them during mild seasons and on days
not particularly cold. You will thus use but little electrical power and obtain even greater savings in energy
consumption.
Anti-freeze function (only for models with a thermostat)
Turn the switch (or switches) to make the red area show, then turn the thermostat knob to the " " setting. When so regulated,
this appliance will keep a room at a temperature of 5° C. while consuming but a minimum of energy.
Model with a fan
This version makes it possible to heat a room even more quickly, thanks to a built-in fan that speeds up the spread
of heat and keeps the temperature uniform.
To turn this unit on, proceed as follows:
• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the last possible setting.
• To operate the appliance at minimum without the fan, push the I button (the red area will become visible or, in
models having a switch with a warning light, the light will come on).
• To operate the appliance at minimum with the fan, press the II button (the red area will become visible or, in
models having a switch with a warning light, the light will come on).
• Push both switches in order to get the highest power
In this model, the thermostat can be adjusted just as it is for models without a fan.

Always pull the plug out of its electrical outlet before beginning any cleaning.
This electric convector requires no special maintenance. All you have to do is dust it off with a soft, dry cloth —
