Fitting the castors
Remove the carton containing the castor assemblies from the packing.
Fit the castors to the stub axles by applying hand pressure until each castor clicks into
position - see ‘a’ Fig 1. Note that the castors are designed to be a tight fit on the axles
but will rotate in use.
The castors must be fitted between the outer fins (as shown on ‘b’ and ‘c’ in Fig 1)
.
IMPORTANT – ENSURE THAT THE CASTORS ARE FITTED TO THE BASE OF THE
RADIATOR SO THAT, WHEN IN USE, THE CONTROLS ARE AT THE TOP AND THE
CABLE STORAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTROL PANEL – see Fig. 2.
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid damage
Warning : The radiator is heavy – ensure that it is supported to prevent it from toppling.
Ask a second person to help with this if necessary. Locate the wire clamps and remove
the plastic straps and winged nuts (see Fig. 2 ‘C’ below).
Insert the non-threaded end of the wire clamp ‘A’ into one of the two holes in the castor
plate ‘B’ as shown in Fig. 2, at the same time tilting the opposite end of the plate
slightly. Lower the castor plate and insert the threaded end of the clamp through the
fins and over the boss and into the other hole in the castor plate. Place the winged nut
‘C’ on the thread and tighten it securely
.

Lift the radiator clear of the floor, then turn it back upright and stand it on its castors as
shown in Fig. 2 ‘D’. It is now ready for use.
Always ensure that the radiator is stood on a firm, level base near to, but not directly
beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet.
Unwind the mains lead fully from the cable store at the base of the control panel
before plugging in the radiator. DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not closer than 1 metre (3’) from the chosen
position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
Ensure that there is at least 300mm (1’) above the radiator of unobstructed space.
Positioning the radiator
Before switching on
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and
that all warnings and instructions have been read carefully and followed.
When you are certain that you have completed the above, plug in and switch on at the
wall socket. The neon will glow all the time that the radiator is connected to the mains
supply.
Please Note – We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the room when
using the heater for the first time.

Heat control (see Fig. 3)
The heat switch provides a choice of heat outputs :
On all models, the radiator is OFF when the heat switch is set to position ‘
O
’
Thermostat control (see Fig. 3)
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat, according to the room temperature.
Turn the knob to
max
. setting. When the room is warm enough, reduce the setting
slowly until the radiator just clicks off.
The radiator will now cycle on and off to maintain your selected room temperature.
NOTE : If the radiator does not come on when the thermostat is on a low setting, this is
normally because the room is warmer than the thermostat setting and is not a fault.
If the thermostat is set to
min
. and a heat setting is selected, the thermostat will turn
the radiator on and off to maintain a low temperature to help protect against frosty
conditions.
