Controls
Your DuoHeat radiator works by providing continual warmth from a carefully balanced combination of “retained” and “radiant” heating. Some
energy is taken in by the radiator when electricity tariffs are low and this is supplemented whenever needed by top up heat from a radiant
front panel, to ensure room temperatures remain to your preferred level throughout the day.
DuoHeat has two output modes
Comfort
(Radiant Heat) and
Background
(Retained Heat). Each needs to be set to the correct
level to provide the optimum level of comfort.
For DuoHeat to operate correctly, both electricity
supplies must be switched on at all times.
Initial Set Up
When the radiator is switched on red lights will illuminate on the
temperature control display located on the top right hand side of the
radiator. The radiator will automatically be in
Comfort
mode.
Depending on your comfort requirements, there are three
recommended settings:-
“
Low
” (e.g. holiday home during period of vacancy)
“
Normal
“ (e.g. average use)
“
High
” (e.g. sheltered accommodation)
Both the Comfort and Background heat settings need to be set
accordingly.
Please note that at high setting the room temperature will
be warmer with a corresponding increase in running costs.
“Normal”
Setting
This is the factory default setting, however you should check this
has not been altered by the installer.

Background
setting at the mid point (5th bar). To
do this, press the
+
button until 10 bars are illuminated and
continue to hold for a further 7 seconds. Adjust by pressing the
+
or

buttons.
After 20 seconds, the display will revert to the standard

button to achieve a higher or lower room temperature.
If the morning room temperature is not at the desired level, then
adjust the
Background

the
+
button on the temperature control display until 10 red
lights are illuminated, continue to hold the
+

the temperature by one red light until a satisfactory comfort
level has been established. Once established the radiator will
automatically adjust to suit seasonal changes in temperature.
