Fitting the castors Remove the carton containing the castor assemblies from the packing.
The castors must be fitted between the fins (as shown on ‘a’ and ‘b’ in Fig 1).
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat, according to the room temperature.
Turn the knob to max. setting. When the room is warm enough, reduce the setting slowly until
Fig. 3 the radiator just clicks off.
Fit the castors to the stub axles by applying hand pressure until each castor clicks into position.
Note that the castors are designed to be a tight fit on the axles but will rotate in use.
IMPORTANT – ENSURE THAT THE CASTORS ARE FITTED TO THE BASE OF THE
RADIATOR SO THAT, WHEN IN USE, THE CONTROLS ARE AT THE TOP AND THE CABLE
STORAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTROL PANEL – see Fig. 2.
The radiator will now cycle on and off to maintain your selected room temperature.
NOTE : If the radiator does not come on when the thermostat is on a low setting, this is normally
because the room is warmer than the thermostat setting and is not a fault.
If the thermostat is set to min. and a heat setting is selected, the thermostat will turn the radiator
on and off to maintain a low temperature to help protect against frosty conditions.
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid damage.
Warning : The radiator is heavy – ensure that it is supported to prevent it from toppling. Ask a
second person to help with this if necessary. Locate the wire clamps and remove the plastic
straps and winged nuts (see ‘C’ below).
Insert the non-threaded end of the wire clamp ‘A’ into one of the two holes in the castor plate ‘B’
as shown in Fig. 2, at the same time tilting the opposite end of the plate slightly. Lower the castor
plate and insert the threaded end of the clamp through the fins and over the boss and into the
other hole in the castor plate. Place the winged nut ‘C’ on the thread and tighten it securely.

Lift the radiator clear of the floor, then turn it back upright and stand it on its castors as shown in
Fig. 2 ‘D’. It is now ready for use.
Positioning the radiator Always ensure that the radiator is stood on a firm, level base near to, but not directly beneath, a
suitable fixed socket outlet.
Unwind the mains lead fully from the cable store at the base of the control panel before
plugging in the radiator. DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not closer than 1 metre (3’) from the chosen position, as
this would create a potential fire hazard.
Ensure that there is at least 300mm (1’) above the radiator of unobstructed space.
Before switching on Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and that all
warnings and instructions have been read carefully and followed.
Operation When you are certain that you have completed the above, plug in and switch on at the wall
socket. The neon will glow all the time that the radiator is switched on.
Please Note – We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the room when using the
heater for the first time.
Model

Storage If the radiator is not required for long periods, for example during the summer, it should be stored
in dry place and preferably covered to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
The mains lead can be wound around the cable store at the bottom of the control panel, ensuring
that the plug does not trail on the floor.
Cleaning WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY AND ALLOW THE
RADIATOR TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on the body of the
radiator, as these can damage the finish.
Wipe the radiator with a dry cloth to remove dust and a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains.
Be careful not to allow moisture into the controls area.
