8.2  COntROL PanEL

Grant Solo fan convectors are supplied with a simple control 

panel. Refer to Figure 1-3.
This allows each Solo unit to be individually set to suit the room or 

area in which it is installed.
The functions of the buttons and indicator lights are as follows:

On/OFF bUttOn

When the ON/OFF button is pressed for at least 1 second it will 

start the operation of the Grant Solo unit – provided that the water 

flow temperature is at least 29°C AND the room air temperature 

is low enough (i.e. below the air temperature setting of the Solo 

unit). See section on ‘Temperature indicator lights’ below.
To stop the unit operating, press the ON/OFF button for at least 1 

second. 

tEmPERatURE inDiCatOR LiGHts

There are four temperature indicator lights that display the air 

temperature setting of the Solo unit, and whether that temperature 

setting has been achieved or not. 
These indicate increasing temperature settings from the lowest on 

the left to the highest on the right, as follows:   

• 

18°C – indicator light with single bar 

• 

20°C – indicator light with two bars 

• 

22°C – indicator light with three bars

• 

24°C – indicator light with four bars

tO sEt tHE REqUiRED aiR tEmPERatURE

Press the ON/OFF button momentarily – the lowest (single bar) 

indicator light will flash slowly indicating that the air temperature 

setting is 18°C.

tO inCREasE tHE sEttinG

Press the ON/OFF button again momentarily – the next (two 

bars) indicator light will now flash slowly indicating that the air 

temperature setting is now 20°C.
Press the ON/OFF button again momentarily to increase the 

setting further (if required) – the next (three bars) indicator light 

will now flash slowly indicating that the air temperature setting is 

now 22°C.
Press the ON/OFF button again momentarily (if required) and the 

right hand (four bars) indicator light will now flash slowly indicating 

that the air temperature setting is now at the maximum (24°C).
Pressing the ON/OFF button again momentarily will return the 

air temperature setting to the minimum (18°C) and the left hand 

(single bar) indicator light will now flash slowly.
The selected indicator light will continue to flash slowly whilst the 

temperature is being raised. When the air temperature reaches 

the setpoint, the indicator light will stop flashing and become 

continuous. The Grant Solo unit will then stop heating until 

needed again.

! nOtE !

it is nOt possible to adjust the temperature setting if the 

water flow temperature is at less than 29°C.

aLaRm LiGHt

The Alarm light will flash if the water flow temperature is less than 

29°C.

bOOst/COOL bUttOn 

Press this button momentarily whilst the Solo unit is operating and 

the normal Solo temperature control will be overridden for a period 

of 20 minutes to provide a higher output than available in normal 

operation.
The temperature indicator light will go off and the Alarm/Boost 

light will come on to indicate the Solo unit is operating in the Boost 

mode.

to stop the boost function

Press the Boost button momentarily at any time during the 20 

minute boost period.
After 20 minutes have elapsed, the Solo unit will automatically 

revert to the normal temperature control. The Alarm/Boost light will 

go off and the temperature indicator light will revert to the original 

setting.
Momentarily pressing the Boost button again will re-start the boost 

function for another 20 minutes.

sUmmER COOLinG FUnCtiOn

In the summer Solo fan convectors can be used to provide air 

movement to give passive cooling.
To use this function, press BOTH the ON/OFF and Boost buttons 

at the same time for more than 1 second. 
The water temperature control will be ignored and the fan will run 

at the highest (boost) level for maximum air flow until the Solo unit 

is switched off. The Alarm/Boost light will come on in this mode.
To switch off the summer cooling function, press BOTH the ON/

OFF and Boost buttons at the same time for more than 1 second.

! nOtE !

the summer cooling function will nOt automatically 

switch off after a fixed period (as with the Boost function) 

but will remain on until bOtH the On/OFF and boost 

buttons are presses at the same time.

sPECiaL FUnCtiOn LiGHt

This light is not used and will not be lit during the operation of 

the fan convector. This does NOT indicate a fault with the fan 

convector.

Whilst it is not necessary for the Grant Solo fan convectors to be 

regularly serviced, a limited amount of cleaning is required from 

time to time.
Only use a moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the Solo fan 

convectors. Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning liquids 

or aerosols.

9 CLEaninG

The warm air outlet grille on the top of the Solo Compact and Solo 

CompactMAX and the front grille of the Solo Hideaway can be 

vacuumed clean. 

The air inlet filters on the Solo Hideaway (located either side of 

the warm air outlet grille) are not removeable or replaceable. They 

can be vacuum clean from the front.
