USE
Fitting the wheels
Turn the radiator upside down on a rug or soft surface to
prevent damaging the paint nish. Fully unfold the wheels
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 a hazardous situation.
Location
The heater should not be placed immediately below a power
outlet. Do not use this radiator in rooms with a oor area of
less than 4 m2(43 sq. ft. ).
Connection
- Before using the appliance check that your supply
voltage is the same of that shown on the rating label of
the unit and that the power socket and power supply
line correspond to the load specied.
- Check also the current capacity of your fuses. CONNECT
YOUR HEATERTO EARTH PROVIDED SOCKET ONLY.
- This appliance complies with directive 2004/108/ec on
electromagnetic compatibility.
Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and ammable
material away from the heater's wall outlet.
Turning on
Insert the plug into an electrical outlet, rotate the thermostat
knob to maximum and turn the unit on as follows using the
power selector:
- Turn the power selector to position MIN to select
minimum output (the min light will be on).

en
- Turn the power selector to position MED to select
medium output (the min/med light will be on).
- Turn the power selector to position MAX to select
maximum output (the lights will be on).
Adjusting the thermostat
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn
the thermostat knob slowly in an anti-clockwise direction
until you hear a "click" and not beyond it. The thermostat
will then adjust the set temperature automatically and
keep it constant. If your unit is a three-output version, in
intermediate seasons or on days when temperatures are not
particularly cold, select minimum output to optimize savings
and consumption.
Antifreeze function
Turn the thermostat dial to the position and the power
selector to position MAX. The appliance will maintain a
minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C, thus
preventing freezing while conserving energy. In models that
come with a timer, tabs must be set in the inward position.
Reminder
To completely shut the appliance o, turn the power selector to
the "0" position and then unplug the appliance from the outlet.
UNITS WITH TIMER
How to use the timer
To program heating, proceed as follows:
- Look at the time on your clock or watch. If it is 10 p.m.,
turn the numbered timer disk clockwise until the
number 22 (10 p.m.) on the disk coincides with the
pointer s(3) on the timer. Set the periods of time
when you want the appliance to work by pushing the
teeth (1) inward.
Each tooth (1) corresponds to a period of 15 minutes.
This will leave visible sectors which correspond to
the periods of operation (2). When set, the radiator
will operate automatically each day during the times
programmed (important: the radiator must always be
plugged into the socket).
- To change the programming, move the teeth back
into the initial position and set the new periods of
operation.
- To turn the appliance o completely, as well as turning
the knob to the o position, you must also unplug it
from the power outlet to avoid continued operation of
the timer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE.
The timer is like an electric clock, and will only work when
plugged into a power supply. When unplugged, the timer
stops and must be later re-set.
Timer override
If you wish to override the timer settings, push the timer
switch to position I(g.2) manual (timer override). To return
to timed operation push the switch back to the middle
position (g.2).
NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0 position (g. 2),
the heater is o and will not operate).

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home,
if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with a suitable plug, following the
procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where
children might nd it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
Please note: We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is
not in use.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN ANDYELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the
mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a
qualied electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and
should only be replaced with a exible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until
a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of
the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
