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.
