OPERATING THE RADIATOR
MODELS WITH “EASY WHEEL” SYSTEM
Turn the radiator upside down and rest it on a piece of cloth or other soft surface to
avoid damaging the paint. Open the wheels completely by rotating them outwards (fig.
1). Turn the radiator upright.
IMPORTANT
When in use, the radiator should always be kept vertical (wheels at the bottom, controls
at the top).
Any other position could be dangerous!

1. WHERE TO LOCATE THE APPLIANCE
Position the radiator under the coldest window in the room or wherever else you want.
The radiator will reduce the effects of cold draughts to a minimum.
The appliance must not be positioned directly underneath a fixed power point.
Do not use the appliance in rooms with a surface area of less than 4 m².
2. CONNECTION
The radiator must be connected to a perfectly functioning socket with correct poles.
Avoid contact between clothing, household linen, furniture, inflammable material and the
socket providing power to the radiator. THIS APPLIANCE COMPLIES WITH DIRECTIVE
2004/108/EEC ON RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION.
3. TURNING ON
Plug into the mains, turn the thermostat pointer as far as it will go to maximum and turn
the radiator on using the power selector as described below:
• Turn the power selector to 1 (minimum power) (the light comes on).
• Turn the power selector to 2(medium power) (the light comes on).
• Turn the power selector to 3(maximum power) (the light comes on).
NB:
For economic operation, once the appliance has reached working temperature, you can
use minimum or medium power (1or 2).
4. ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT
When the room has reached the required temperature, turn the thermostat slowly
clockwise until a "click" is heard and no further.
The thermostat will automatically regulate the temperature set and keep it constant.
If your model has three power levels, in the spring or autumn or on mild days, you can
further save energy by using minimum power.
Frost protection function
With the thermostat dial in the position and one of the power levels selected, the
appliance maintains room temperature at about 5°C, preventing freezing with minimal
energy consumption.
NB:
To turn the appliance off completely, turn the power selector to "0".
5. APPLIANCE WITH TIMER
Setting the clock
As with all clocks, the timer must be set to the exact time.
For example, if it is 9.30 in the morning, turn the dial of the timer clockwise (in the direc-
tion of the arrow) until 9.30 is lined up with the pointer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN THE DIAL OF THE TIMER ANTICLOCKWISE.
The timer is an electric clock and works only if plugged into a socket.
If disconnected, the timer stops and must be reset.

THE TIMER
See figure below:
IMPORTANT: the timer consists of 96 teeth, each representing a 15-minute period. The
appliance can be programmed to come on and go off at set times. With the timer, the
appliance is programmed to within 15 minute intervals and you can programme up to
48 cycles (each cycle consists of a coming on and a going off time) during a 24 hour
period). The teeth can be pushed or pulled with your fingers. When a tooth is pushed
towards the centre of the dial, the radiator remains in operation for those 15 minutes.
If the tooth is pulled out, the radiator is off during that period.
Using the timer
A) Plug into the mains socket.
B) Turn the dial clockwise to set the current time (see SETTING THE CLOCK).
C) Push the teeth corresponding to the period you do not want the radiator to operate
towards the outside. For example, the radiator in the figure will be on from 2.00 to
5.00.
D) Turn the power selector to the required position (1, 2 or 3).
E) Once the teeth have been set for the desired periods of heating, the radiator will
come on and go off as set.
F) While the radiator remains plugged into the socket, the timer retains the correct time.
CUTTING OUT THE TIMER (models with selector only)
To cut out the timer, place the selector in the I position (see figure).
To go back to programmed operation, place the selector in the position.
NB: when the selector is in the 0 position, the appliance is off. In the I and 0 positions,
the timer is still set to the current time.
Safety device
A safety device shuts the radiator down in the case of overheating. To start the radiator
up again, call the nearest service centre.
MODELS WITH “Tilt-switch”
Some models are fitted with a tilt-switch turns the appliance off if it should fall over. To
restart the appliance, simply place it upright again.

This appliance has been made to last many years without problems.
In the event of malfunction or doubt, do not try and repair on your own. There would be
the danger of fire or electric shock.
Call the nearest service centre (see list of service centres).
7. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IMPORTANT: To avoid overheating, never under any circumstances cover the appliance
during operation as this would lead to a dangerous rise in temperature.
If this recommendation is not respected, a safety device will turn the radiator off. To
reset, contact the technical assistance service.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout,
this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

sed service centre or a qualified electrician in order to eliminate all risk.
- When you turn the appliance on for the first time, operate it at maximum for at least
two hours. During this time, you should ventilate the room to eliminate the “new”
smell given off.
