For the correct installation o f radiators it is essential that the fixing o f the radiator is carried out in such a way that it is suitable for intended use A N D predictable misuse. A number o f elements need t o be taken into consideration including the fixing method used t o secure the radiator to the wall, the type and condition o f the wall itself, and any additional potential forces or weights, prior to finalising installation. IN ALL CASES IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A SUITABLY
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER OR SIMILAR TRADESPERSON CARRIES OUT THE INSTALLATION.
PLEASE NOTE: The fixing materials provided are only intended for installation on walls made of solid wood, bricks, concrete or on timber-frame stud walls where the fixing is into the timber. All walls being considered should have no more than a maximum of 3mm wall finishing. For walls made of other materials, for example hollow bricks, please consult your installer and/or specialist supplier. ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU ARE UNSURE,IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER OR SIMILAR TRADESPERSON CARRIES OUT THE INSTALLATION.
The radiator is equipped with an overheat protection that cannot be reset (melt fuse). This overheat protection disconnects the current if the radiator becomes too hot (e.g. when covered).
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his service agent or similar qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

The radiator is filled with an exact amount of environmentally friendly vegetable oil. Any repairs that require the radiator to be opened shall therefore only be carried out by the manufacturer or his approved agent. Please
contact Electrorad UK Ltd in case o f leakage.

POWER SETTINGS

To set the power of the front heating panel choose between:
When considering the permanent use o f the radiator at 60° C or 75 ° C maximum, the correction factor from the table (right) should be applied for the output.

E.g. A 1000 Watt single panel programmed for a maximum surface temperature of 75° C will deliver maximum 700 Watts. A 1000 Watt double panel programmed for a maximum surface temperature o f 60° C will deliver maximum 800 Watts. These values should be considered when selecting the number and type of panels to cover the calculated heat losses.

Please refer to Section 7 .1 Display, point 2 as to where this will be shown on the display.

Sensor

Please Note: The thermostat sensor is located at the bottom o f the radiator and will only read the room temperature and not the actual temperature from the radiator.
