Never use the radiator to dry damp garments.
Never use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower, or a swimming pool, to prevent any danger of electrical shock, or in any positions where it can be pushed and/or damaged.
WARNING: This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own unless constant supervision is provided.
Never use the appliance in environments smaller than 4 m2 or where inflammable liquids or products are stored.
The appliance must not be located immediately below a socket.
The power socket must be easy to reach so the plug can be removed quickly in case of an emergency.
To avoid the risk of fire do not use the appliance with a timer, a programmer or with a system that can switch the appliance automatically on since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
In the case of a breakdown or fault, switch the appliance off and have it checked by a professionally qualified technician; repairs made by unqualified people can be dangerous and render void the warranty.

This radiator is filled with a precise quantity of special oil. Repairs that require opening the oil container, are only to be made by the Manufacturer or his service agent, who should be contacted if there is an oil leak.
When scrapping the heater, follow the regulations concerning the disposal of oil.

INSTALLATION

After removing the packing materials, check that the appliance is in perfect condition; if you are unsure, do not use it and ask for qualified professional help. The packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out the reach of children because they are potential sources of danger; they must be disposed of in accordance with current law. All packaging elements must be disposed of according to their raw material (see the symbol stamped on each one) and according to the provisions of their municipality. The bag containing the set bracket, which is unmarked due to its small size, therefore you have to follow the procedures for the disposal of their municipality.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage shown on the data plate matches that of your local power supply and that the electric plug is grounded. In the event of incompatibility between the electric outlet and the appliance plug, replace the outlet with another more suitable type by professionally qualified personnel, who will make sure that the outlet wiring section is appropriate for the absorbed power of the appliance. In general, the use of adapters or extension cords is not recommended; if their use cannot be avoided, they must conform to existing safety standards and their current capacity (amperes) must not be less than the maximum appliance capacity.
The appliance must be positioned at a safe distance from heating sources, inflammable materials (curtains, cloth, etc.), inflammable gas or explosive materials and
materials that may be deformed by high temperatures. Make sure that a space of at least 1 metre is left free in front of the appliance, and 50 cm of free space at each side.
Stand the appliance on a horizontal, flat surface or table; Never place the appliance on a sloping surface as this can cause it to fall over. Never lay the electric cord under rugs or carpets.
Make sure that the cable is positioned correctly, that it is not in contact with hot elements or sharp edges, that it is not wound around the appliance, and that it is not twisted, or in a position that can cause the appliance to fall over. Check that the cable cannot cause tripping in order to prevent accidental falls or injury.

ASSEMBLY

The supplied base is composed of two plastic brackets: the horizontal one is inserted beneath the plastic panel, and the vertical one is then inserted on the end element. The brackets must be fastened to the lower part (see the up- down arrow on the plate fixed to the appliance) and must adhere perfectly to the surface to which they are attached.
Follow these steps for assembly (see figure):

Insert the horizontal bracket in its relative guide under the plastic panel: push in until it clicks into place.
Insert the vertical bracket under the last external element: push hard until completely inserted.
Check that the brackets are perfectly level and that the radiator is perfectly vertical. Before switching it on, leave the radiator in a vertical position for a few minutes so the oil is equally distributed inside.

Warning: the radiator may be used only and exclusively when the base is assembled correctly. Thanks to its base, the radiator does not heat the surface on which it rests, the air is conveyed naturally, and the appliance can easily be moved thanks to the retracting handle on the “dashboard”.

Attention: for the first use, leave it operating at maximum power for at least two hours. During this operation, ventilate the room well to eliminate the “new” smell emanating from the appliance.

APPLIANCE USE

Before each use, verify that the unit is in good condition, the electric cord is not damaged, if the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a competent qualified electrician or a person with similar qualifications, in order to avoid any risk.

The radiator can be adjusted as follows:

Room thermostat. Set (using relative knob 2 ) the room temperature and start the radiator in continuous mode until the set temperature is reached: if this drops, the radiator restarts for the time necessary to re-establish the set value. If the knob is turned completely anti-clockwise, the radiator remains off, if it is turned completely clockwise the maximum temperature is set; for intermediate values the temperature increases as the knob is turned towards the Maximum position and vice versa.
Signal lamp (pos.3): indicates when the radiator is on, or rather, that the resistance is in function.

Follow these steps to use the radiator correctly:

Check that the thermostat knob is in position “0” (off).
Insert the plug into the power socket.
Turn the thermostat dial (2) to the position of the required temperature.
To switch off the appliance, turn the thermostat knob to pos. “0” and remove the plug from the power socket.

Attention: Never move the appliance when it is switched on. Once it has been switched off, the appliance requires several minutes to cool down: wait until it has cooled down completely before moving it; the appliance can be moved easily by using the handles at the sides. Never leave the appliance connected to the socket if it is not in use, especially for long periods.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Attention: before cleaning, switch off the appliance, unplug and wait until it has cooled down completely.

To clean the casing use a soft damp cloth; do not use abrasive products.
When the radiator is not in use it must be covered and stored in a dry place. We recommend using the original packing to preserve it from dust and humidity.
When you decide that the appliance is no longer required, we recommend making it inoperative by cutting the power cord (after ensuring that the cable plug has been disconnected from the socket) and ensure that any dangerous parts are rendered harmless if children are allowed to play with them.
This radiator is filled with a precise quantity of special oil. Repairs requiring the radiator to be opened must be made only by the Manufacturer or by its Assistance Service. Should there be any oil leak, the Manufacturer or its Assistance Service must be contacted immediately.
When scrapping the appliance, respect legislation on the disposal of oil.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2011/65/EU.
