  • To watch a instructional video on using the following heating modes, scan this QR code or go to the Electric Radiators Direct Youtube channel.

Comfort mode

  • When the icon (and only the icon) displays on the screen, you are in comfort mode. In this mode, the radiator heats to a constant set temperature. The thermostat measures the room temperature and switches the heating elements on and off accordingly.
  • The default set temperature is 19 °C. Set temperature can be adjusted using the and buttons. Set temperature range is 7-30 °C.
  • The temperature set in comfort mode also applies to comfort intervals when they occur in other modes, e.g. program mode and sensor mode (room occupied).

Eco mode

  • When the icon (and only the icon) displays on the screen, you are in eco mode. Just like comfort, on this mode the radiator heats to a constant set temperature. However, eco mode is designed to be set to a lower temperature, providing a low-heat, energy-saving alternative for when you are sleeping or out.
  • The default set temperature is 15.5 °C. Set temperature can be adjusted using the and buttons. Set temperature range is 7-30 °C.
  • The temperature set in eco mode also applies to eco intervals in other modes.

Anti-Freeze mode

  • When the icon displays on the screen, you are in anti-freeze mode. This is the mode to use when rooms are empty for long periods – for instance, when you go on holiday. Anti-freeze sets the radiator to come on only when temperatures drop low, keeping the room warm enough to prevent pipes from freezing.
  • Anti-freeze mode is set to 7 °C. This is not adjustable.

Timer mode
When the icon displays on the screen, you are in timer mode. On this mode the radiator will heat as per your set program. You can adjust set time and program from this screen by holding down the button.

Setting the Time

  • Hold down the button until the hours begin to flash.
  • Use the and buttons to set the hour.
  • Press to confirm. The minutes will begin to flash.
  • Use the and buttons to set the minutes.
  • Press to confirm. The day of the week will begin to flash.
  • Use the and buttons to set the day of the week, where 1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday and so on.
  • Press to confirm. The display will move to the program setting stage.

Note – at each stage of the time setting menu, the radiator will automatically jump to the next step if nothing is adjusted in 30 seconds. Once on the program setting screen, the timer will return to timer mode after 30 seconds without activity.

Setting the Program
The timer allows you to set a different program for every day of the week. P1 is the schedule for Monday, P2 is the schedule for Tuesday, and so on. Each program consists of 24 hourly slots where you can set either comfort or eco mode. The radiator will heat at the temperatures you set on comfort and eco mode.

Follow the instructions above for setting the time. When P1 appears on the screen, you are ready to start setting your program

  • P1 and 00 will be on the screen. This means you are choosing a mode for midnight on Monday morning.
  • Press to choose comfort or to choose eco mode.
  • The bars at the bottom of the screen will change to reflect your choice, and the display will advance to P101 – 1am on Monday.
  • Press to choose comfort or to choose eco mode.
  • The screen will advance to P102 – 2am.
  • Continue pressing and to set comfort and eco modes for the rest of the day. When you get to the end of the day, the time will begin again at 00, midnight. You can go through the program as many times as you need to get it right.
  • When you are happy with the program for Monday, press to move on to Tuesday.
  • P2 and 00 will appear on the screen. This means you are choosing a mode for midnight on Tuesday morning.

You now have two options

  • If you want the program for Tuesday to be the same as the day before, hold down the button until the bars change to match.
  • Alternatively, repeat the steps above to choose modes for each hour.
  • Press to confirm and move on to Wednesday.
  • Continue this process until each day of the week is set. Press to confirm and return to timer mode. The radiator will heat as per your new program.

If you are struggling with the process of setting the program, scan this QR code to watch an easy-to-follow programming video. Alternatively, go to the Electric Radiators Direct Youtube channel.

Sensor mode

  • When the icon displays on the screen, the radiator is in sensor mode. In this mode the radiator uses the motion sensor located in the control panel to heat based on whether the room is occupied. The icon flashes whenever the sensor detects a presence.

  • When a presence is detected, the radiator heats at comfort temperature . When a presence is no longer detected, the radiator will wait for a set interval of time before stepping down the temperature . This interval is 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes and can be adjusted in the settings menu – see section 5-5-2.
    Once the set interval with no presence detected has elapsed, e.g. 45 minutes, set temperature will be reduced by 1 °C. If a further 45 minutes passes with no presence detected, the set temperature reduces by a further degree.

  • After another 45 minutes with no presence detected the radiator switches to the eco set temperature . The radiator holds this temperature for 24 hours. If no presence is detected in this time, the
    radiator switches to anti-freeze mode .

  • If at any point in this cycle a presence is detected, the radiator will switch back to its previous state. If a presence is detected in the next 15 minutes, the radiator will switch to the next state up. This continues until the radiator resumes full comfort temperature . This 15 minute interval cannot be adjusted; the adjustable setting affects only the interval the radiator waits when a presence is not detected.

To adjust the comfort or eco temperatures used in sensor mode

  • Navigate to the main comfort or eco mode screens using the button.
  • Adjust the temperature as described in section 5-4-1 and section 5-4-2.
  • Use the to return to sensor mode, where the icon appears.

Pilot mode
When the icon displays on the screen, the radiator is in pilot mode. This mode activates external control of the device via a pilot wire (not supplied). Pilot mode enables six externally controlled modes: Comfort, Comfort-1, Comfort-2, Economic, Anti-Frost and Power Off.
This option is tailored to the French market and is not available on the UK model.

Settings
The settings menu allows you to enable, disable and configure all the radiator’s supplementary functions. Temperature compensation (F0), sensor mode (F1), open window detection (F2), WiFi function (F4) and time synchronisation (F5).

  • Press to put the radiator into standby mode and hold down for 5 seconds to enter the settings menu.
  • You can scan this QR code to watch an instructional video on using the advanced settings, or go the Electric Radiators Direct Youtube channel.

Temperature compensation (F0)
The temperature compensation setting allows users to adjust for any discrepancy between the average room temperature and the temperature sensed by the thermostat. For instance, if the temperature in the room is 18 °C, but the radiator is sensing 16 °C, a compensation factor of +2 °C will offset the difference.
The accuracy of the radiator’s temperature reading can be affected if the unit is mounted such that the sensor is positioned in a hot or cold spot – such as hot water pipes or a draughty doorway. The sensor is at the bottom right of the unit.

Warranty

The Ecostrad iQ Ceramic Electric Radiator carries a 10-year guarantee on the body, a 3-year guarantee on paintwork and a 2-year guarantee on electrical components.

What does the warranty cover?
Within the stated period, starting from the date the customer receives their unit, Ecostrad guarantee to repair or replace the unit where a fault is due to defects in materials or manufacturing.

What does the warranty NOT cover?
The warranty does not cover any defect arising from damage, negligence, usage outside the product’s intended purpose or fair wear and tear. The warranty is only valid when the unit has been used at the specified supply voltage, and in accordance with all conditions specified in this manual. The warranty will be void if the heater has been covered, tampered with or opened in any way, or if the ratings label has been removed.
The warranty does not cover failures and faults due to force majeure, accidental damage, mishandling, external impact, chemical agents or atmospheric phenomena, incorrect use of the device, the purchaser’s faulty electrical installations, transporting the device or problems caused by the device being handled by persons not authorised by Ecostrad. If the unit has been hardwired, an invoice may be required to confirm the work was carried out by a qualified professional. Ecostrad cannot accept responsibility for damage, loss or injury caused by incorrect installation, maintenance, cleaning or covering the device.

How to Claim

  • The warranty is a contract with the original purchaser and does not transfer if the unit is re-sold, gifted or inherited. Proof of purchase, including order number and order confirmation or invoice, will be required if a claim is made.
  • The warranty covers only the model of heater shown on the purchase invoice. The warranty covers the repair or replacement of the defective product only and Ecostrad shall have no liability for installation costs or consequential losses however incurred. The unit is sold as a DIY product; whilst hardwiring is permitted within the terms of the warranty – provided evidence can be produced that the work was performed by a qualified installer – no compensations will be offered for the installer’s costs in the event of a claim.
  • Claims must be made with the establishment where the device was purchased. This warranty does not affect the customer’s consumer rights.
