heater.
2. If your radiator is equipped with a
polythene tape used as carry handle,
remove it before connecting applian-
ce to the outlet.
3. This heater is hot when in use. To
avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. Use handle when
moving this heater. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows,
bedding, papers, clothes, and cur-
tains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the
front and top of the heater and keep
them away from the sides and rear.
4. Extreme caution is necessary when
any heater is used by or near children
and whenever the heater is left opera-
ting and unattended.
5. Always unplug heater when not in
use.
6. If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
7. Do not operate any heater with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
heater malfunctions, has been drop-
ped or damaged in any manner. If
heater has leaked any oil, disconti-
nue using the heater and contact the
service center as indicated in the
instruction leaflet. Return heater to

mination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.
8. Do not use outdoors. Household use

bathrooms, laundry areas and similar
indoor locations. Never locate heater
where it may fall into a bathtub or
other water container.

block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surfaces,
like a bed, where openings may beco-
me blocked.

sparking parts inside. Do not use it
in areas where gasoline, paint, or
flammable liquids are used or sto-
red.
16. Use this heater only as described in
this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
17. To prevent overload and blown fuses,
be sure that no other appliance is
plugged into the same outlet (recep-
tacle) or into another outlet (recepta-
cle) wired into the same circuit.
18. It is normal for the heater’s plug and
cord to feel warm to the touch. A
plug or cord which becomes hot to
the touch or becomes distorted in
shape may be a result of a worn elec-
trical outlet. Worn outlets or recepta-
cles should be replaced prior to
further use of the heater. Plugging
heater into a worn outlet /receptacle/
may result in overheating of the
power cord or fire.
19. Do not use an extension cord becau-
se it may overheat and cause a risk
of fire. However, if you have to use

HOW TO USE YOUR HEATER
“EASY WHEEL”SYSTEM
Turn the radiator upside-down on a rug or a soft surface in order to prevent damaging the paint
finish. Fully unfold the castors by turning them outwards (Fig. 1).
Turn the radiator back to its upright position.
CAUTION
Always operate the heater in upright position only (wheels on the bottom, controls on top). Any
other position could create hazardous situation!
an extension cord, the cord shall be
No. 14 AWG minimum size and
rated not less than 1875 watts, and
has to be used only for supplying
power to this heater.
20. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted
into an appropriate outlet. Please
remember that outlets also deterio-
rate due to aging and continuous use:
check periodically if signs overhea-
ting or deformations are evidenced
by the plug. Do not use the outlet and
CALL your electrician.
21. Check that neither the appliance nor
the power cable have been damaged
in any way during transportation.
22. Make sure that no pieces of polystyre-
ne or other packaging material have
been left between one element of the
appliance and another. It may be
necessary to pass over the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner.
23. When switching on the appliance for
the first time, allow it to run at full
power for about two hours to get rid
of the unpleasant smell. Make sure
that the room in which the appliance
is located is well ventilated during
this operation. It is normal for the
appliance to emit small cracking
sounds when you turn it on for the
first time.
CAUTION: to prevent electric shock
match wide blade of plug to wide
slot, then fully insert.

1. LOCATION
Place heater on the floor beneath the coldest window in the room, or any other location. Your
heater will reduce the effect of cold drafts. The heater should not be placed immediately below a
power outlet. Do not use this radiator in rooms with a floor area of less than 43 square feet (4
sq.m.).
2. CONNECTION
The radiator should be connected to a properly polarized A/C 120 V household outlet in perfect
working conditions. Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from
the heater’s wall outlet.
3. TURNING ON TWO-SWITCH MODELS
Turn the thermostat clockwise to its maximum position. Push down both switches. The switch
lights stay on independently of the thermostat cycling. When room reaches the desired tempera-
ture, turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a click.
This should set your heater to maintain the desired temperature by cycling on and off as requi-
red. Note: The room may require up to an hour to reach the desired temperature depending on
room size and conditions.
4. USE OF THERMOSTAT
The thermostat operates according to room air temperature, rather than radiator temperature.
Turning it counter-clockwise to smaller numbers would decrease the temperature; clockwise to
greater numbers would increase the temperature.
Antifreeze function
Turn the thermostat dial to the position and push the switches on. The appliance will maintain
a minimum room temperature of approximately 42°F (5°C), thus preventing freezing while con-
serving energy.
REMINDER
To completely shut the heater off, MIN/MED switches must be set in the “0” position.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). There is only one way it can be plugged into a power supply. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try again by turning it the
other way. If it would still not go in, it is probably due to an obsolete outlet which should be
replaced. Do not tamper with the plug or outlet to defeat the purpose of this safety mechanism.
WATT ECONOMIZER
To conserve energy, use the Min. or Med. position
after the unit has reached the desired operating tem-
perature
With pilot lights ON, the heater is ON!

5. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Always unplug the heater from the power outlet and allow the radiator to cool. Wipe radiator with
a soft damp cloth; do not use detergents and abrasives. Should the radiator not be in use over a
certain length of time, roll the cable around the holder and store it in a dry place. This appliance
has been built to last for many years of trouble-free service. In case of malfunction or doubt, do
not try to repair the heater by yourself: this might increase the risk of fire and electric shock. Call
