element so that the parts with a screw thread
project upwards.
4. Lay a roller railer 9over it, such that the screw
threads protrude through the holes. Check to
ensure that the recesses on the roller railers 9
face outwards. The screw ends projecting from
the appliance must reach into the recesses.

Commissioning
1. Unwind all of the power cable from the power
cable retainer 7.
Note:
Ensure that the thermostat 3and the heat level
switch 2are standing at MIN resp. 0.
2. Insert the power plug into a wall power socket.
3. Place the heat level switch 2at “III” and the
thermostat 3at MAX. The control lamp “Power”
1glows.
Important:
With the heat level switch 2you can regulate how
quickly the appliance warms up. If you wish to heat
it up particularly quickly, select heat level “III”, if a
slow warming up is preferred, select heat level “I”.
Using the thermostat 3you can set it to the desired
temperature.
4. When the desired room temperature has been
reached, slowly turn the thermostat 3back until
a quiet “click” is heard and the control lamp
“Power” 1extinguishes. The momentary room
temperature will now be retained. It could be
that every now and then the control lamp
“Power” 1switches itself on and then back off.
This means that the programmed room tempera-
ture had fallen below this level for a short period
and the appliance had warmed itself back up.
Note:
If you want to heat a room up particularly quickly,
activate additionally the warm air switch 4.
When the warm air switch 4is positioned at ON,
the warm air control lamp 4glows and warm air is
blown through the warm air outlet 5into the room.
5. If you wish to switch the appliance off, first place
the warm air switch 4at the position OFF. Next,
turn the heat level switch 2to “0” and then the
thermostat 3to MIN.
6. Remove the plug from the wall power socket.
Frost protection function
You can programme this oil radiator so that, if the
room temperature reaches 0°C, it switches itself
on and begins to radiate heat automatically:
1. Insert the power plug into a wall socket.
2. Position the heat level switch 2at “I”, “II” or
“III”, and the thermostat 3at MIN.
The oil radiator will now switch itself on if the tempe-
rature falls to 0°C. When the temperature rises above
0°C, the oil radiator switches itself off automatically.
Cleaning and care
Injury hazard
Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning
it! Risk of Burns!
Remove the power plug from the wall socket.
There is a risk of electric shock!
Clean the appliance with a lightly moist cloth. For
stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth.
