USE
Operation and use
Plug into the mains, turn the thermostat dial (B) to maximum
and turn the appliance on by means of the power selector (C)
(see description) as described below:
• Turn the power selector knob to the Min position to
select minimum power.
• Turn the power selector knob to the Med position to
select medium power (only in some models).
• Turn the power selector knob to the Max position to
select maximum power.
• Turn the power selector knob to the Max position to
select maximum power with the fan (the MAX + FAN
indicator light comes on).
• To turn the appliance o completely: turn the power
selector to the "0" position and the thermostat to the "
" position, then unplug from the mains.
Adjusting the thermostat
When the room has reached the required temperature, turn
the thermostat dial (B) slowly anticlockwise until you hear a
click and no further.
The thermostat will automatically regulate the temperature
set and keep it constant. In spring or autumn or on mild days,
you can save energy by using minimum power.
Frost prevention mode
With the thermostat dial (B) 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.
Models with ventilation
The appliance has 2 fans for faster more even heating. To start
this function, turn the power selector (C) to Max .
Models with 24 hour timer
When the appliance is plugged to the mains the timer is
always in turning movement, in order to stay synchronized
with the local time. To operate the appliance without the
timer, place the timer slider (E) in the position. To
operate the appliance at set times, position the slider in the
position and proceed as follows:
• Check the time on your clock or watch. If it is 10.00 for
example, turn the numbered programmer disk until the
number 10 coincides with the pointer marked on the
programmer.
• Set the periods of time during which you want the
appliance to operate
by pushing the
teeth outwards (see
gure). Each tooth
corresponds to a
period of 30 min.
At the end of this
procedure, sectors
corresponding to the
operating periods can be seen.
• In this way, the appliance will function automatically
each day at the times set. (Important: the appliance must
always be plugged into the socket)
• To modify programming, return the teeth to the initial
position and set the new operating periods.
• To turn the appliance o, turn the power selector to the
"0" position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)
A) If your appliance comes tted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not t your socket, the plug should
be cut o from the mains lead and an appropriate plug tted, as below. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse,
the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-tted when
changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must.
NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct
replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut o plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in
the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
B) UK Plug specications: please follow the instructions provided below.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
If you have a 3-pins plug, do not connect any wire to the "earth" terminal.
