IMPORTANT WARNINGS
- This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appli-
ance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTION — Some parts of this prod-
uct can become very hot and cause
burns. Particular attention has to be
given where children and vulnerable
people are present.
- Do not use the appliance near showers,
bathtubs, sinks, swimming pools, etc.
- If the power cable has been damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or
the technical service centre or by a quali-
fied person so as to avoid all risks.
- ATTENTION: in order to avoid any danger
caused by an accidental resetting of the
safety system, this appliance must not be
powered through an external timer.
- The appliance must not be located imme-
diately below a fixed socket-outlet.
- The use of an extension lead is not recommended, as over-
heating of the extension lead may occur during the opera-
tion of the heater.
-WARNING: In order to avoid over-
heating, never under any circum-
stances cover the appliances during oper-
ation, as this would lead to dangerous
overheating.
- The appliance must not be placed immediately under a fixed
power socket.
- The power cord should be fully removed from the cord stor-
age unit when in use.
- The appliance is fitted with a tilt-switch which turns the
appliance off if it should fall over.
To restart the appliance, simply place it upright again.
- Always use the radiator in the vertical position.
- Do not use the appliance in rooms with a base areaof less
than 4 m2.
- It is normal for the appliance to make "creaking" noises
when first turned on.
- In order to eliminate the radiator’s “new” smell, set it to
maximum power for at least a few hours when used for the
first time. During this operation, the room in which the radia-
tor is located must be ventilated.
- This appliance is filled with a precise quantity of oil and
repairs requiring it to be opened must be carried out by the
manufacturer or an authorised technical assistance centre
only. In the event of oil leaks, please contact Customer Expe-
rience, see enclosed guarantee.
- As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim
to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and com-
mon sense should be applied when operating your appli-
ance, particularly in the vicinity of young children.
- A safety device will turn the radiator off. To reset, contact the
technical assistance service.
GENERAL FEATURES
Remove the appliance from the packaging, turn upside down
and rest on the polystyrene. Check that neither the appliance nor
the power cable has been damaged in any way during trans-
portation. Do not operate the appliance if damaged.
FITTING THE FEET
Remove the feet and the castors (if provided) from the poly-
styrene packing.
Fit the castors to the spindles on the feet and push firmly until
they click into position (fig. 1).
Pull each castor to check that it is fitted correctly. In certain mod-
els, the castors are already mounted on the feet. Using the
threaded u-bolt and wing nuts, fit the feet to the bottom of the
radiator between the last two elements as shown in figures 2, 3
and 4. Depending on the type of feet supplied, type Aor B,
mount the feet as shown in figure 5 or 6. Mount the foot without
castors by inserting the two guides (Cfig. 7) into the holes on
the bottom of the control box (fig. 7). Fit the tooth into the slot
provided and lock the foot with the eye screw (fig. 8). After fit-
ting, turn the radiator back into the vertical operating position.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Before plugging the radiator into the mains, check that the
voltage of your mains electricity supply corresponds to the
value V indicated on the appliance and that the socket and
power line are appropriately dimensioned.
- CONNECT THE RADIATOR TO EFFICIENTLY EARTHED SOCKETS
ONLY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Switching on
Plug into the mains socket. Turn the thermostat as far as it will
go to maximum position. Turn the radiator on using the switch
following the procedure described below (see fig. 10):
- Place the switch in the "MIN" position to select minimum
power.
3

- Place the switch in the "MED" position to select medium
power.
- Place the switch in the "MAX" position to select maximum
power.
Place the switch in the "0" position to turn the appliance off.
Adjusting the thermostat
When the room has reached the required temperature, turn the
thermostat slowly anticlockwise until the indicator light goes out
(or until you hear a "click") and no further. The set temperature
will then be regulated automatically and kept constant by the
thermostat.
Frost protection function
With the thermostat in position and the switches in max posi-
tion, the appliance maintains the room at a temperature of
about 5˚C, preventing freezing with minimum energy consump-
tion.
Models with 24-hour timer
Using the timer
If you wish to use the timer, position the switch in the middle
position (Fig. 9).
Setting the correct time
Check the time on your watch. If for example it is 4.00 pm.
(16.00), turn the dial in a clockwise direction until the number 16
is lined up with the triangular pointer (fig.11). N.B.: Never turn
the dial in an anti-clockwise direction!
The timer is in effect an electric clock and works only if the plug
is connected to the power supply. Whenever the plug is discon-
nected or there is a power failure, the clock must be re-set.
To program the timer
1) Set the operating times (fig. 12) by pushing in the notches
on the dial corresponding to the period required (each
notch represents 15 mins.)
2) Make sure that the timer indicates the correct time (see
instructions on setting the correct time) .
3) Turn the radiatior on and set it to the heat setting and tem-
perature level on the thermostat as required.
Once programmed in this way, the appliance will repeat the pre-
established program every day, if the selector is in the posi-
tion.
Timer override
If you wish to override the timer settings, push the timer switch
to position 1(fig.9) manual (timer override). To return to timed
operation push the switch back to the middle position (fig.9).
NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0position (fig.9), the heater is
off and will not operate).
TURBO HEATING
Some models are fitted with a heating fan which heats the room
more quickly.
To turn this function on, push the button into the position.
Important: the fan is not intended to be used for extended
periods. A safety device cuts in and switches off the appliance if
it overheats due to an accumulation of dust on the air intake and
output grills. To restart it, unplug from the mains and leave the
appliance to cool down. Clean the air intake and output grills
with a vacuum cleaner, then replug into the mains and turn on
again.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any operation on the radiator, unplug from
the electric mains and wait for it to cool. The oil-filled electric
radiator requires no particular maintenance. It is sufficient to
remove the dust with a soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive pow-
ders or solvents. If necessary remove concentrations of dirt using
a vacuum cleaner.
