Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.

Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.

CAUTION — Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

The radiator may not be mounted directly beneath a power socket.

It should be possible, at all times, to turn off the radiator. If it is a plug connector, it should have an external power-off switch. In the case of a corded, fixed connection, the electric circuit should be correctly fused.

When mounting the radiator, please follow the local/national regulations for the cabling installation and adhere to our general terms and conditions.

WASTE DISPOSAL ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN UNION (2012/19/EU) DIRECTIVE

ON WEEE (WASTE FROM ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT)

The symbol on the ID plate of the radiator states that the radiator may not be disposed of as household waste, but should be separated out, to facilitate recycling. Once the radiator is end-of-life, it should be taken to a waste collection point for electrical and electronic goods. For more information about recycling and waste collection points, please contact your local authority/district council or waste collection service in those countries where the directive has been transposed into national law.

– To exit the programme viewing mode, press twice.

TEMPORARILY OVERWRITE THE WEEK PROGRAM

This function allows you to change the setting temperature temporarily until the next scheduled change in temperature or the transition to 0:00.

Example:

1- The radiator is in Auto mode, the running programme is Eco 15,5°C.

2- By pressing or , you can change temporarily the desired temperature up to 18°C for example.

3- This change will be automatically cancelled at the next change of programme or transition to 0:00.

OPEN WINDOW DETECTION

The open window detection is sensitive to temperature fluctuations. The controller responds to open windows according to various parameters: temperature setting, rise and fall of the room temperature, outside temperature, location of the radiator, etc.

If the controller is close to a front door, the detection air can be disturbed opening the door. If this is a problem, we recommend you disable the open window detection (see installer settings). When the controller proceeds to a temperature reduction cycle (frost protection mode) by opening a window, a frost protection counter appears on the display to show the cycle duration.

The counter is automatically reset to zero the next time the Frost Protection is switched on. By pressing a button, the frost protection mode is deactivated.

If a temperature rise is detected, the controller will automatically return to the previous mode.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR CALIBRATION

• Overview

Important: This operation is reserved for professional installers only; any wrong changes would result in control anomalies.

calibration adjusts the temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor to compensate for a deviation from + 5°C to – 5°C by increments of 0.1°C.

Important: Before carrying out the calibration it is recommended to wait for 4h after the setting temperature modification to insure that the ambient temperature is stabilized.

• Calibration

1- If the room temperature difference is negative, example:
Setting temperature (what you want) = 20°C.
Ambient temperature (what you read on a reliable thermometer) = 18°C.
Difference measured = 2°C.

To correct, simultaneously press the and buttons for 30 seconds.
Sensor temperature = 24°C

Decrease the temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor by 2°C by pressing .
In our example the measured temperature by the sensor goes from 24°C to 22°C.

2- If the room temperature difference is positive, example:
Setting temperature (what you want) = 19°C.
Ambient temperature (what you read on a reliable thermometer) = 21°C.
Difference measured = +2°C.

To correct, simultaneously press the and buttons for 30 seconds.
Sensor temperature = 21°C

Increase the temperature measured by the ambient temperature sensor by 2°C by pressing .
In our example the measured temperature by the sensor goes from 21°C to 23°C.

To validate, save the new value and exit the mode, press .

• The reset to zero of the probe calibration

To put the value of the correction to “0”, do the following:

1- Simultaneously press the and for 30 seconds.

2- When the temperature measured by the probe appears, do a press on or for at least 3 seconds.

3- Press to exit the probe calibration mode.
