WARNING: DO NOT USE THE RADIATOR WITH A
CONTROLLER OR ANY OTHER EXTERNAL DEVICE THAT
ACTIVATES THE APPLIANCE AUTOMATICALLY, AS THERE
MAY BE A RISK OF FIRE IF THE FAN HEATER IS COVERED
OR INCORRECTLY POSITIONED.
 Disconnect the mains power when the appliance is not used or for
cleaning operations.
 To disconnect the radiator, push the switches to OFF and remove
the plug from the socket. Pull on the plug only. Do not pull the
cord.
 Avoid placing fingers or foreign objects in the air inlet/outlet grilles,
as this may lead to electric shock or fire and may damage the unit.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not block the grilles or tamper with
them in any way while the panel heater operates.
 Do not use the product if the cord or plug is damaged. If the power
cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
technical assistance service or in any case by a person with a
similar qualification, in order to prevent any risk.
 Do not place any objects on the cord and do not bend it. During
operation, the cord must be entirely unwound.
 It is not advisable to use extension cords, as these may overheat
and cause the risk of fire. Do not use a single extension cord to
operate more than one panel.
 The radiator heats up significantly during operation. Risk of burn.
To avoid injury, do not allow skin to come into contact with a hot
surface. Use the handle to move the panel. Keep flammable
materials such as furniture, cushions, blankets, paper, clothes,
curtains and similar at a distance of 1 metre.
 Do not immerse the cord, plug or any other element of the panel in
water or other liquids.
 Do not touch the plug or panel with wet hands.
 Avoid using the radiator in dusty environments or in the presence
of flammable vapours (e.g. in workshops or garages).
 Do not place the radiator above or near another heat source.

WARNING: AVOID COVERING THE PANEL HEATER TO
PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING.
 The symbol below signals the above warning:
 The radiator may cause risk of fire if, while in operation, is covered
by or comes into contact with flammable material including
curtains, drapery, blankets, etc. KEEP THE RADIATOR AWAY
FROM THESE MATERIALS.
 Do not insert and avoid accidental insertion of any external objects
into the ventilation or discharge outlets as this may lead to electric
shock, fire or damage the panel.
 A radiator contains parts that generate arcs or sparks. It must not
be used in potentially dangerous areas such as areas at risk of fire
or explosion, or areas loaded with chemical substances or
humidity.
 Do not use the radiator on soft surfaces such as beds, where the
grilles may be covered. Always stand the panel heater on a flat,
stable surface when in operation, in order to prevent it from
overturning. Arrange the cord in such a way that the radiator and
other objects do not rest on it. Do not run the cord under carpets.
Do not cover the cord with blankets, carpets or similar materials.
Place the cord far away from busy areas, or in a place where it
cannot be accidentally pulled-out.
 This radiator cannot be used in bathrooms, laundry rooms, next to
a shower or swimming pool or in similar indoor environments.
Never position the radiator where it may fall into a bath or other
containers of water.
 Never position the radiator on a wet floor.
 In any case, the adjustment knobs must never be accessible by
anyone in a bath or shower.
 The heating appliance must not be positioned immediately below a
power outlet.
 The socket must be earthed.

 Do not allow the electric cord to touch the mesh cover when the
panel is hot or in operation, in order to avoid the high temperatures
ruining the cord.
 Do not operate the panel heater outdoors. Do not use the radiator
in front of or near an open window.
 Upon initial start-up, the radiator may emit a slight, harmless smell.
This smell is a normal effect of the initial heating up of the internal
heating elements, and should not recur later on.
 Do not attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the panel. The
radiator does not contain parts that can be repaired by the user.
 Turn the switch off and unplug before carrying out any
maintenance work or moving the panel heater. Always unplug
from the socket when the radiator is not in use.
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG WHEN CARRYING OUT
MAINTENANCE WORK OR MOVING THE RADIATOR.
 Do not place anything on the radiator; avoid placing wet garments
on the radiator.
 Turn the appliance off if unattended in order to avoid accidents.
 If the product is not used for prolonged periods, disconnect the
plug, replace the unit in its box and store it in a dry, ventilated
place.
 Ensure that the air inlet /outlet are not close to walls or curtains
when the panel is in use, so as to avoid obstructing the unit and
hampering its efficiency.
 Should you hear an abnormal noise or detect an unusual smell
when using the panel, cease use and unplug immediately.
 Do not use the radiator in rooms measuring less than 4 m².
 Do not expose the elderly or children to a continuous flow of air.

HOW TO INSTALL
WHEELS
In the packaging the radiator has no wheels, which must be mounted before the commissioning of the device.
Do not operate the heater without the wheels assemblies attached to the bottom of the unit. Otherwise there may be risk
of fire.
• Loosen the nuts and washers from the wheels.
• Attach the wheels to the axle with two metal washer and nut.
• Turn over the radiator for easy assembly, make it sure that it’s stable with no fall risk.
• Remove the nuts from the screws U (1) and insert the screws U-shaped through holes in the assembly of the wheel
as shown (Fig. 2 and 3), hang up the wing nut and tighten firmly (fig. 4). Attention: do not over tighten, it may cause
the damage of radiator flange.
• Repeat the same for mounting the wheels at the front and the back of the radiator.
• Return the device upright.

Choose a suitable place to position the radiator, considering the general safety warnings given in the first part of this
manual. Only use this radiator in an upright position.
Set all controls to OFF position, insert the plug into the electrical socket, ensuring that voltage is compliant with that
specified on the convector data plate.
Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to MAX (maximum) position and select the desired heat level switching the heater
as follows: I low heat – II medium heat – III high heat
Room temperature can be regulated by rotating the thermostat clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to decrease
temperature.
When the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counter clockwise until the power
indicator light goes out, thermostat can be now left at this setting.
When the room temperature has dropped below the set temperature, automatically the radiator will switch itself until the
room temperature will be reached again. In this way the room temperature remains constant with the most economical
use of electricity.
If you want to change the room temperature setting, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to raise the temperature, of
counter clockwise to lower it.
This heater includes an overheat protection system that shuts off the heater when parts of heater are getting excessively
hot.
HOW TO CL
EAN THE
RADIATOR
 Always unplug and leave the radiator to cool before cleaning.
 Use a damp cloth to clean the radiator exterior and remove dust. Leave the casing to dry before using the convector
again.
 Do not immerse the heater into the water.
 Do not allow water to enter the radiator.
 Do not use benzene, solvents or abrasive compounds to clean the radiator, as these may damage the casing.
 Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet/outlet grilles.
 Ensure that the radiator is dry before inserting the plug.
 Do not use metal tools to clean the convector radiator. Any metal fragments that may detach may come into contact
with the panel’s electrical components and cause a short-circuit.
 In the event of malfunctions or damages, always contact an authorised service centre.
