HOW TO INSTALL
HOW TO INSTALL THE SUPPLIED WHEELS
In the packaging, the radiator does not have wheels, which must therefore be mounted before putting the appliance into operation. Do not operate the radiator without the wheels assembled on the bottom of the unit; otherwise there may be a risk of fire. Before using the new radiator, the two metal plate and the wheels (included) must be fitted.
- Turn the radiator over and hold it firmly, place it on a flat and stable surface to avoid damaging the floor. Then insert the “U” bolt into the radiator (Fig.1).
- Place the wheels on the metal plate, and after positioning the “U” bolt in the radiator, insert the metal plate with the wheels, thus making the metal plate enter the protrusions of the “U” bolt (Fig.2) .
- Screw the two wing nuts firmly onto the protrusions of the U-bolt, to allow the metal plate to be fixed to the wheels (Fig.3).
- Fix the front metal plate directly on the radiator, screwing the wing nuts into the holes on the product (Fig.4).
- Once the wheel assembly operations have been completed, put the radiator back in the vertical position.
- Once the wheel assembly operations have been completed, put the radiator back in the vertical position.
HOW TO USE
HOW TO USE THE RADIATOR
-
Choose a suitable place to position the radiator, considering the general safety warnings given in the first part of this manual. Only use this radiator in an upright position. Set all controls to OFF position, insert the plug into the electrical socket, ensuring that voltage is compliant with that specified on the product data plate.
-
After placing the power selector knob in position 0, turn it clockwise to select the heating mode and power as follows: 1 (ECO) 800W for Warm 9 and 1000W for Warm 11 – 2 (COMFORT) 1200W for Warm 9 and 1500W for Warm 11 –
3 (SUPER) 2000W for Warm 9 and 2500W for Warm 11. -
Then turn the room thermostat knob to the maximum position. When the temperature in the room reaches the desired one, slowly turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise until the pilot light goes off. If the room temperature drops below the set temperature, the radiator will automatically reactivate to reach the set temperature, in this way the room temperature will remain constant with energy saving. If you want to change the set temperature, turn the thermostat clockwise to increase it, or counterclockwise to decrease it.
-
To switch off the radiator, turn the selector knob to 0 and remove the plug if you do not plan to use the product.
-
This radiator has an overheating protection system which allows the product to be switched off when some parts become excessively hot. To turn off the radiator completely, return the power selector to the 0 position and then turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise until you hear a click of total shutdown. Then pull the cord out of the socket if the appliance is not to be used for a certain period of time.
-
This radiator has an anti-overturning protection system, which allows it to be switched off in the event of the product accidentally overturning, or if it is excessively tilted. Then put the radiator back in the vertical position, to resume normal operation.
HOW TO CLEAN THE RADIATOR
- Always unplug and leave the radiator to cool before cleaning.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the radiator exterior and remove dust. Leave the casing to dry before using the appliance again.
- Do not immerse the radiator into the water.
- Do not allow water to enter the radiator.
- Do not use benzene, solvents or abrasive compounds to clean the radiator, as these may damage the casing.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet/outlet grilles.
- Ensure that the radiator is dry before inserting the plug.
- Do not use metal tools to clean the appliance. Any metal fragments that may detach may come into contact with the panel’s electrical components and cause a short-circuit.
- In the event of malfunctions or damages, always contact an authorised service centre.
STORAGE OF RADIATOR
If the radiator is not used for prolonged periods, it must be stored together with this manual in its original packaging, in a cool and dry place. Never put the appliance away when still hot. Wind the power cord on the appropriate cable winder. Always wait for it to cool down.
