Supply
This radiator must be plugged into a switched socket or wired into a fused spur. If wiring into a fused spur remove the
plug and dispose of safely. (If installing in France please ensure the radiator is wired into a fused spur only.)
Supply cord
This radiator is fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. Any replacement fuses must be approved
by BSI to BS 1363. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
DO NOT operate the radiator with the mains lead overhanging the radiator.
Ensure that the mains lead is properly secured to avoid trip hazards.
The radiator is a “class I” IP44 device and it can be installed in bathrooms zone 2 and 3 provided that no electric control
unit can be touched by people using the bath-tub or the shower. If the radiator is installed in zone 2 or zone 3 it must
be wired into a fused spur located in the appropriate zone.

3.0 Radiator Installation Instructions
During transit the fluids contained in this radiator may have moved from
important sensing positions.
To ensure reliable operation, the radiator should be carefully stood on one
of its cardboard endcaps, with the control panel facing down, for thirty
minutes prior to installation.
3.1 Positioning
A suitable position for the radiator should be chosen, and the positions of
the mounting brackets marked on the wall, using the dimensions given
below.
For optimum output, the bottom of the radiator should be 150mm from the
floor. Any shelf or substantial projection should be a recommended
minimum of 150mm above the top of the radiator.

3.2 Fitting
Ensure that the brackets are fitted towards the outside of the hangers on
the radiator. This will prevent any lateral movement when the radiator is
mounted.
To install the radiator at the recommended minimum height, the bottom of
the wall fixing bracket should be approximately 200mm from the floor (see
diagram and table above). To allow for other heights above the floor, note
that the bottom of the fixing bracket is approximately 50mm above the
bottom of the radiator.
For most efficient operation of the radiator, there should be a gap between
the skirting board and the rear panel of the radiator to allow air flow behind
the radiator. If the bottom of the radiator is below the top of the skirting
board, it may be necessary to remove a section of skirting for this purpose.

Place the bracket vertically against the wall at the appropriate height, and
to suit the length of the radiator. Mark the positions of the fixing holes on the
wall.
Insert the plastic grommets (A) onto the brackets (these minimise
expansion and contraction noise.) Pull down the spring loaded part of the
bracket (B), and push it back to locate it in its lower position.
Hook the radiator lugs on to the tops of the brackets. Return the spring
loaded part of the bracket (B) to its original position, thereby securing the
bottom of the radiator in its final position.
Caution
Fix the brackets to the wall using fixings appropriate to the
wall material and the weight of the radiator.
The radiators are supplied with wall brackets and fixings.
These fixings may not be suitable for the type of wall fixing.
Warning
When drilling wall, care must be taken to avoid existing wires
and pipes.

4.0 Operating Instructions
4.1 Before Switching On
Ensure that the radiator has been installed correctly and that all warnings
and instructions have been read carefully and followed.
4.2 Switching On
When you are certain that you have completed the above, plug in and
switch on at the wall socket. Switch the radiator ON by turning the knob
clockwise. Check the supply light is illuminated ORANGE for a short while
then either GREEN or RED depending on the ambient temperature of the
room. This light can be seen on the control panel.
iNote
This instruction manual should be read carefully and retained
by the user. Particular attention must be made to the safety
information at the beginning of this manual.
Warning
DO NOT switch off the radiator at the wall socket when the
radiator is warm.
Note
It is strongly recommended that radiators (all models) are run
for ½ hour each month during the summer to ensure that the
pump is fit for winter operation.

5.0 Radio Frequency Control
Your Radio Frequency Controller (RFC) is a wireless thermostat giving high
precision room temperature control. It is also a seven day programmer with
up to six temperature settings per day. Each RFC can control any number
of radiators.
The temperature control is primarily set by the RFC. To allow the RFC to
control your radiator fully; the control knob must be turned fully clockwise.
This will allow the RFC to run your radiator at full output if the need arises.
You can however choose a lower radiator setting for systems where
multiple radiators are operated by the same RFC by turning the control
knob anti-clockwise.
5.1 Batteries
Your RFC is supplied with two factory fitted, AA size, alkaline batteries.
These should last around two years. The low battery symbol appears when
it is time to replace them. If you don’t replace them for two weeks the
symbol will start to flash. You must reset the clock after changing the
batteries, but all other settings are unaffected.

5.2 Connecting your Radiator to your Controller
For radio control to work, you first need to establish a radio connection
between your radiator and your RFC. You may wish to follow this procedure
if you add more radiators.
Turn the radiator thermostat knob fully clockwise.

5.3 Choosing a position in the room.
The RFC should be positioned in a place where its temperature will not be
changed by local events. Avoid:
● Draughty places near windows, doors and vents.
● Places near the radiator or any other heat sources in the room.
● Places in direct sunlight.
● Places where it may get wet.
● Places where, for example, it could be hit by a door.
5.4 Range Test.
Having connected your radiator and chosen a position for the RFC you can
test the wireless connection.
Place or hold your RFC in position.
Press BOOST and ADVANCE together
The RFC will transmit a special test
signal every 5 seconds causing the
radiators supply light to flash twice.
In the unlikely event that the radiator does not respond, check that you have
connected to the radiator. If it still does not work try a different location.
Poor reception can be because :
● The RFC is too far from the radiator.
● There are metal objects (including parts of the building) obstructing
the signal path. Metal objects can also cause reflections that can
interfere with signal strength.
● There are other 433Hz transmissions nearby. This should not be a
problem as all such devices may transmit occasionally and for short
periods of time.
● The range test lasts for 10 minutes or until you press CLEAR.
5.5 Fixing the RFC to the Wall.
Remove the wall plate from the rear of the RFC and mark through the screw
holes on the rear (60 mm centres). Drill and plug the wall to accept No. 6 or
No. 8 screws and mount the wall plate. Clip the RFC back onto the wall
plate.
Clean the RFC
Clean the RFC only with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture on
buttons or openings. Do not use sprays, liquids or abrasives; doing so may
damage the RFC.

5.6 Reverting your Radiator to Manual Control.
If for any reason you want to use your radiator without the RFC, you can
revert to Manual Control.
● If the radiator is on, switch the mains supply off and turn the
control knob to maximum.
● Switch it on for 3 seconds then switch it off again.
● Repeat this process another 5 times.
● The supply light will flash for 50 seconds and your radiator will be
back to manual control.
5.7 Choosing a new ID
Every RFC has an identifying code . When you connect a radiator you are
teaching the radiator to listen for the RFC’s code. If your radiator switches
on and off when it should not, it may be that another RFC in the vicinity has
the same code. This is very unlikely since there are many thousands of
possible codes.
To make the RFC pick a new random code, hold the button on the back of
the controller on for 5 seconds until the display says “rE5 id” , then press
OK to confirm within 5 seconds. If you don’t confirm no action is taken.
After selecting a new ID you must re-connect your radiator(s).
5.8 Frost Protection
If used with the RFC, the controller can be used to set the radiator to the
frost protection mode. Ensure the control knob is not turned off.

Note
If the radiator does not heat up when the RFC is on a low
setting, this is normally because the room is warmer than the
temperature selected on the controller, and is not due to a
fault in the radiator. If the room temperature falls below that
selected on the control knob, the radiator will then warm up
to bring the room temperature to the selected level.

may damage the finish.
Wipe the radiator with a dry cloth to remove dust and marks.
Warning
Always disconnect from the power supply and allow the
radiator to cool before cleaning.

Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Radiator makes “gurgling” or
“swishing” sound on first switching
on.
This is normal, and the noise will go
away after a short period. It is due to
the initial movement of a small
amount of air which is left in the
radiator to allow for expansion.
If the sound is still present on
constant running after a day or so,
contact your installer.
Radiator does not heat up.
No electricity supply to radiator.
Check radiator is switched on at the
mains, and on the appliance. Check
fuse in plug or fused spur. Check the
