Thank you for choosing this De’Longhi radiator. To get
the very best out of your new radiator it is advisable to
read these instructions before using it.This will ensure
that you gain optimum results and use the appliance
safely.
General instructions
Take the radiator out of its packing box and remove any poly-
styrene pieces or any other packaging material that might be
lodged inside it.
Make sure that the radiator has not been damaged during
transit and that the mains cable is in working order. Do not
operate the radiator if damaged.
“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.
Electrical connection
- Before plugging the radiator into the mains, check that
your supply voltage is the same as that shown on the rating
plate of the radiator.
- If using more than one appliance at a time, it is important
to ensure that the ring main is adequate to cope with the
power requirements.
- It is important to ensure that the socket is adequately
earthed.
- THIS APPLIANCE COMPLIES WITH DIRECTIVE
2004/108/EEC ON RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRES-
SION.

Adjusting the thermostat
Leave the thermostat at its highest setting until the room has
reached the required temperature.Then slowly turn the ther-
mostat slider back until you hear a click.The temperature
selected in this way will then be regulated automatically and
kept constant by the thermostat.
Frost protection function
With the thermostat slider in the minimum position and a
power selected, the unit maintains the room at a temperature
of about 5˚C, preventing freezing with minimum energy con-
sumption.
Models with 24-hour timer
Using the timer
If you wish to use the timer, position the switch in the middle
position (Fig. 4).
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.2).
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
disconnected or there is a power failure, the clock must be
re-set.
To program the timer
1) Set the operating times by pushing in with your thumbnail
to the outer rim, the notches on the dial corresponding to
the period required (fig.3) (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 temper-
ature 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
position.
Timer override
If you wish to override the timer settings, push the timer
switch to position 1 (fig.4) manual (timer override).To return
to timed operation push the switch back to the middle posi-
tion (fig.4).
