3. Getting the most out
of your appliance
Your electrical appliance is filled with a circulating fluid and is delivered ready to
use. It is plugged and filled with a high-performance thermal mineral oil before
leaving the factory. This fluid requires no special maintenance. Any repair work
requiring the appliance to be opened should only be carried out by the manufac-
turer or their after-sales service department, which should also be contacted in
the event of an oil leak.
When disposing of the heating appliance, comply with the regulations in force
on the disposal of oil. Fluid obtained when the appliance is emptied must be
taken to a specialist used-oil disposal facility.
As soon as the appliance is heating, you will notice certain differences compared
to a standard electrical heating system:
- The electric heating element heats the fluid, which gradually and naturally
starts circulating in your appliance.
- The inertial properties of the fluid are such that it takes at least ten minutes for
the appliance to reaches its optimum surface temperature.
- This inertia, however, also ensures consistent and sustained heating even when
the element is no longer powered.
- It is normal that the top of the appliance is less hot than the rest of the heating
body. This is because the appliance is not completely filled to allow the fluid to
expand when it heats up. As the air inside is naturally located at the top of the
appliance, it is normal for some of the upper parts of the appliance to feel less
hot.
- Your appliance has a sizeable heating surface which enables it to regulate the
heat it generates according to requirements. It is therefore normal that at
milder times of the year, when the appliance is turned down, variations in the
radiator’s surface temperature are more noticeable.
