2.1. Mounting
The SYGMA radiator works by means of natural air convection (Figure

heat, the lower part of the radiator, once mounted on the wall, must
be at least 10 to 12 cm from the floor, and 30 cm at the most.
As for the sides and above, a minimum distance of between 10-12
cm must be left from any wall or brickwork in order for it to function
correctly (Figure 2).
