C.
To start the appliance, follow the same procedure as for an electric towel radiator.
If the central heating system is equipped with a circulation pump which is
independent of the boiler, the pump must be turned off when the dual-energy
towel radiator is used in electric mode (there is a risk that water will be siphoned
away from the radiator if connections are not perfectly watertight).
IMPORTANT
The appliance should only be connected to the power supply when
adequately filled with water (failure to do so may invalidate the guarantee).
This radiator is equipped with a heating element with a built-in circuit breaker
and fuse. Using the radiator without water will permanently damage the fuse and
therefore the heating element. If this occurs, the heating element must be
replaced. This is not covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. Using the radiator
when only partially filled with water will trip the thermal circuit breaker. It will
continue to trip periodically as long as the heating body is not properly filled.
If you notice that your towel radiator no longer heats up when in electric mode,
despite a command from the thermostat or when in Boost mode
A
.
Check that your radiator is adequately filled with water (see “Electric heating
mode”, paragraph A).
B
.
Turn the thermostat dial to
NO HEAT
( ) and stop operation in electric mode
for 30 to 60 minutes to disable the thermal safety system.
C
.
Reset the thermostat to the required mode.
5.2 Dual-energy towel radiator
Your dual-energy radiator is designed to be plumbed in to your central heating
circuit. It is delivered empty and unsealed.
USING THE RADIATOR AS PART OF A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
The thermostat must be switched to
NO HEAT
( ) and the supply valve must be
open to let water from the central heating system pass through the radiator.
We recommend that you install a circuit breaker to disconnect the radiator from
the electricity supply.
IMPORTANT
This appliance was designed to be used either in central heating
mode or in electric mode. Each mode of use has its own particular, specific
and precise requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may
cause the radiator fluid to overheat, resulting in deterioration of the heating
element, particularly when the radiator is operated in both central heating
and electric modes simultaneously.
Inappropriate use of the radiator will invalidate the guarantee.
ELECTRIC HEATING MODE
A.
Ensure that the appliance is adequately filled with water by opening the bleed
valve at the top of the appliance. Close it again if there is a steady flow of water
(have a sponge and small receptacle available when carrying out this operation).
If the pressure is not high enough to bleed the radiator, you should:
_ top up the central heating system with water until the pressure indicated on
your pressure gauge is achieved,
_ consult your central heating engineer,
_ inform the operator (for collective heating systems).
B.
Close the supply valve only. The return valve should never be closed as it needs
to be open to allow the fluid to expand into the central heating system. Closing
it may cause excessive pressure build-up, resulting in destruction of the heating
body.
