2. DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE PRODUCT
The radiator consists of a die-cast EN AB 46100 aluminium alloy body containing a fluid used to transmit heat internally. This fluid is made up of
highly refined mineral oil with a high heat transmission coefficient, characterized by high oxygenation resistance allowing for durability and low
viscosity.
The internal fluid is heated by means of an electrical resistor with class II insulation, which has a control thermostat and safety thermal fuse.
The control and regulation electronics make it possible to regulate the ambient temperature with great precision.
NB: All Fondital radiators are supplied fitted with an identifying label which guarantees their traceability.
This label certifies that the appliance complies with European directives and electrical standards.
Radiator colour: RAL 9010.

3. WARNINGS
There is a label on the side of the radiator which contains the symbol shown on the left. The meaning of this symbol is:
In order to avoid overheating the appliance, DO NOT COVER THE RADIATOR with clothing, pieces of cloth or other objects.
The radiator must never be:
- partially or totally covered;
- in direct contact with or a short distance from curtains, furniture, etc.
The radiator must never be installed:
- in an alcove
- less than 10 cm. from the corners of the room
- beneath a power point
- on a shelf
The radiator must be mounted on the wall using the mounting brackets included in the supply.
All work required on the appliance must be performed by a qualified professional.
Repairs which require opening the liquid reservoir must be made by the manufacturer, its representatives or customer service.
WARNING
The appliance must not be used by children or by adults with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must never be allowed to treat the appliance as a toy.
4. INSTALLATION
To obtain the best results from your appliance in terms of thermal output and comfort, we recommend - whenever possible - installing the radiator
under a window or in areas where thermal dispersion of the space to be heated is high.
The radiator must not be installed in an alcove or beneath a power point.
Curtains, furniture and objects which may obstruct proper heat distribution must be placed a minimum of 50 cm. from the front of the radiator.
Maintain a minimum space of 120 mm. between the lower part of the radiator and the floor.

The step shown in illustration 6 can only be
considered finished when the lower screw has been
completely tightened and the radiator is firmly
secured to the wall, with no possible movement.
The minimum distance between the radiator and the floor must be
120 mm in all cases.

5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT
During installation, maintenance and cleaning, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply.
The appliance must be connected to a 230 Vca power supply only. Respect colours as shown in the table.
Brown Phase
Blue or grey Neutral
Black Pilot wire
Note:
The pilot wire is used in radiators sold in France.
If the pilot wire is not used, regulations require that it be isolated. Never connect it to the earth lead for any reason.
A multi-pole circuit breaker must be installed. The distance between the contacts must be at least 3 mm.
The appliance’s power circuit must be protected by a high sensitivity differential protection device.
The power cord must be connected to the power supply using a shunt box located 25 cm from the ground, without the use of an electrical plug.
Never insert metal objects into or attempt to piece the side of the radiator containing the regulation system (right side).
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician only.

5.1 Details of bathroom installation
The appliance must be installed according to current regulations and laws in force in the country of use.
The radiator is class II and has IPX4 electrical protection. In bathrooms, it can be installed in areas 2 and 3 (see figure 1) on condition that the control
device is not within reach of people using the shower or bathtub.
The radiator must not be connected to the earth lead.
In the bathroom, protect the power line with a 30 mA high sensitivity differential device.
Install a multi-pole circuit breaker. The distance between the contacts must be at least 3 mm.

6. REGULATION AND PROGRAMMING
The control panel has two regulation knobs (see pic. 2).
There are 5 available functions or operation modes to chose from: Comfort,
Night-time reduction, Anti-freeze, Pilot wire (only for France), OFF.
Switching on and mode selection can be made through knob 1: when the
radiator is operating the internal electrical resistor is on, the LED is on (red);
when the LED is green the resistor is not pulling power.
The second knob can be used to programme the room temperature.

Comfort Mode
This is the normal mode for using the radiator to keep the room temperature at the programmed level. The programmed temperature depends on
the position of the temperature control (knob 2).
As an indication, the programmed temperature and the numbers shown on the knob correspond to the values shown in pic. 3:
When set at the angle between 0º and 9.5º, the programmed temperature is around 7ºC.
g. 3
Night-time reduction mode:
When the mode control is in this position, the programmed temperature will be 3.5ºC lower than the temperature programmed on the
temperature knob at that time.
Anti-freeze mode:
When this mode is selected, the programmed ambient temperature is 7ºC.
Off mode:
When the mode control is in this position, the radiator is turned off. The LED light is off.
NB: The radiator is still pulling power in this position.
Pilot wire mode:
This mode enables the user to control the radiator from a remote control unit.
The temperature setting will depend on the pilot wire controls and the position of the temperature potentiometer.
This mode can be only used in radiators installed in France.
7. CLEANING THE RADIATOR
For safety reasons, disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
Cleaning must be done when the radiator is turned off and is cold.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products to clean the heating appliance: use soapy water, for example and dry the body with a soft cloth.
Clean plastic parts, controls and the humidifier with a dry cloth only and avoid contact with chemicals or alcohol.
Summary of operating modes:
Mode Description
OFF:
The radiator is turned off but pulling power
Comfort:
The room temperature is regulated based on the value programmed using the temperature knob
Night-time reduction:
The programmed temperature is 3.5°C lower than the temperature programmed on the temperature knob.
Anti-freeze:
Minimum safety temperature: a fixed value of 7ºC is kept.
Pilot wire (for France only):
The temperature depends on the pilot wire control.

9. ENVIRONMENT
The symbol placed on the appliance and illustrated to the left indicates that the product is suitable for
separate collection of electrical appliances.
At the end of its useful life, it cannot be disposed of together with common municipal solid waste, but must
be disposed of at a specific collection centre for the area or be given to the distributor when a new
appliance of the same type is purchased for the same use.
Separate collection of electrical and electronic appliances is part of a policy aimed at defending, protecting
and improving the quality of the environment, and at limiting the harmful effects on human health caused by
the presence of substances considered hazardous according to the classification applied in European
directives.
Warning! Improper disposal of the appliance is subject to penalties.
When disposing of the radiator, respect current regulations and laws for discarding the oil.
