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

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.
- If you want to make the appliance operate without
programming, push all the teeth inward. In this case, to
turn the appliance o completely, as well as turning the
dial 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.
SAFETY DEVICE
A safety device switches the heater o in the event of
overheating. To restart the heater, call the nearest De'Longhi

years of trouble-free service. In case of malfunction or doubt,
