The castors must be fitted to the underside of the control panel and to the underside of the free end panel on the opposite end, as shown in Fig. 1. To fit the castors, turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid damage
WARNING: THE RADIATOR IS HEAVY – ENSURE THAT IT IS SUPPORTED TO PREVENT IT FROM TOPPLING. Ask a second person to help with this if necessary.
To fit the castors, position the castor plates (A) in position and secure using the wing bolts (B). There are guides to ensure the correct positioning and orientation of the caster plate. Return the radiator to the correct orientation so it rests on the castors. The product is now ready for use.

POSITIONING THE HEATER
WARNING: Always ensure the information outlined in IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section is strictly adhered to. Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near to, but not directly underneath a suitable mains supply socket. Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from any furniture and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm each side and 300mm from the control and end panel.
We recommend maximizing the clearance where possible.

In this mode the product operates at full power, however the output of the product is automatically reduced and regulated as the room temperature approaches the desired level. This mode optimises the energy usage by calculating the most efficient and effective way to achieve the desired temperature setting. The desired room temperature can be adjusted at any time during operation by pressing the appropriate button.
