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 in a place where you most need the
warmth.
We recommend that you position it underneath the coldest
window in the room as this helps to increase the convective
movement of the heat.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.The
heater must be positioned at least 50cm from furniture or
other objects.
2. 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. Avoid contact between clothing, household linen,
furniture, inflammable material and the socket providing power
to the radiator.
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 selec-
tor (fig. 2) as described below:

Fig. 1
Fig. 2

• 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".
Safety device
A safety device shuts the radiator down in the case of
overheating.To start the radiator up again, call the nearest
service center. See enclosed guarantee leaflet.
6 . MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Before performing any operations on the appliance, always
unplug from the mains socket and leave to cool.
Wipe the radiator with a soft damp cloth without using
detergents or abrasives. If the radiator is not to be used for a
long period of time, wrap the cable around the cable tidy and
store the appliance in a dry place. This appliance has been made
to last many years without problems. In the event of malfunc-
tion 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 guarantee leaflet for customer services details).
