• Heaters must be installed correctly following the specic requirements of the Installation
Instructions section below.
Warning: in order to avoid over heating the unit, do not cover the heaters.
This symbol “DO NOT COVER”, is placed on the heater as a reminder to
the user.
ATTENTION:
• The heaters must not be covered by clothing, containers or any other objects that may
block the air ventilation.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The “OFF” indicator shown on the heater’s control panel does not mean disconnection
of the heater from the power supply and should be understood as a standby condition.
To ensure the heater is completely o󰀨 and without access to the power supply, it is
recommended to disconnect it from the power supply by removing the fuse from the spur
outlet. Alternatively, change the mechanical switch on the side of the heater to “OFF”.
• The unit must be placed away from ammable objects and children must not be left
unattended when the heater is heating.
• The heater should not be located underneath any electrical connection.
• The electric supply line should be protected with a high sensitivity di󰀨erential device
(RCBO).
• Do not use the heater to dry clothes.
• Heaters must not be installed in places where there are risks of splashes such as next to
bathtubs, sinks, etc.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be changed by the manufacturer, its after-sales
service or persons qualied to do so, to avoid possible danger
• Anyone who is in the bathtub or shower should not have access to the switches or other
power operation devices. Always keep at least 0.6m (UK) or 3.0m (Ireland) between the
radiator and the bath or shower.
(UK: Outside zone 2, Ireland: Outside zone 3)
• The radiator must be installed so that around the radiator there is su󰀩cient space for
proper circulation of hot air, with a minimum distance of 150 mm to curtains, furniture, etc

for this purpose only.
• The heater must be mounted directly to the wall using the brackets supplied with the
heater.
• Do not place the heater directly on the oor.
• Make sure that the wall where the heater is going to be mounted is suitable to bear the

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Avant DGi+ has a special cast aluminium body specically designed to assure the maximum rate of
heat radiation; the air circulation channels provide a very e󰀩cient convection e󰀨ect.
A unique manufacturing process provides bubble free lling so that the uid delivers warmth from the
heating element in a totally uniform way, ensuring that the entire surface of radiator provides comfortable
heat.
A monotube heating element ensures maximum heat output.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Connection
A qualied electrician must carry out the electrical installation of this radiator. The electrical installation must
comply with the current UK regulations. Any claim on the warranty could be invalid if these requirements have
not been met.
The radiator requires a 230V 50/60Hz power supply.
Connecting wires:
Brown: Live
Blue: Neutral
Yellow-Green: Earth
The connecting wires must be of the appropriate section, in regards to the length of cable, type of cable and
power rating of the apparatus.
The apparatus must be connected into a fused connecting box or a plug tted with an appropriate sized
fuse for the radiator – see Technical Data on Page 3.
We recommend that the connecting box is positioned 10cm to the right of the apparatus and at 15cm above
the oor.
According to regulations, the apparatus must be connected to the power supply by means of an all-pole
circuit breaker with a contact gap of at least 3mm or by a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker.
Location
The ideal place to site the Ducasa radiator is as close as possible to coolest wall in the room but it is not
recommended to site the radiator on un-insulated exterior walls, in this case, the part of the wall behind the
radiator should be insulated.
In bathrooms, the radiators must not be sited inside the protected areas. The control unit switches must not
be reachable, directly or indirectly, by a person in the bath / shower or using the wash basin.
The radiator, under no circumstances, should be installed below an electric power point.
Choose the location of the radiator in respect of the minimum distances that are indicated in Figure A.
Note: If the window sill protrudes less than 20mm the gap above the heater can be disregarded.

Mounting The Radiator
Place the radiator on the oor, as shown in Figure 1. For radiators with 4, 6, 8 or 10 elements position the
supports supplied with the radiator as shown in Figure 1. For radiators with 12 elements the supports should
be positioned between the second and third elements from each end.

Fig. 2a
Fig. 3a
Fig. 2b
Fig. 3b
Place the supports between the elements as shown in Figure 2a, mark points on the walls through the xing
holes as shown in Figure 2b. This determines the spacing of the supports. Fix the supports to the wall with
plugs and screws. Be sure that the supports are mounted in the correct position.
Lift the radiator and hang it on the supports, as Figures 3a and 3b.

UNLOCKED LOCKED
As soon as the radiator is hanging on the supports press on the locking plate until a click is heard.
See Figure 4. The radiator is now installed.
CONTROL OPTIONS
The Avant DGi+ is designed to be used in conjunction with the system and App,
providing total control of your heating system from anywhere in the world via the internet. The App is available
for both Android and iOS devices and o󰀨ers the ultimate in control and energy monitoring.
Search for “Tevolve” on the either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
Scan this QR code to access to the download.
It is also possible to programme each radiator individually without the App by using the built
in controls and screen. This may be convenient for single heaters however we recommend
the Tevolve Gateway to control multiple heaters.
The Avant DGi+ is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via the
System and app.
