Pull the convector up until the lower hooks of the brackets exit from the holes of the air intake grid of the convector, then pull the convector down and remove it from the upper hooks of the brackets.
6.5 Some recommendations when choosing models of convectors and their operation.
The choice of the rated power of convectors when they are used as the main source of heating should be made based on the calculation of 100W per 1m² of area (for rooms with normal thermal insulation and a wall height of not more than 3 m). In other cases, the choice of convector power should be carried out by a qualified specialist with a calculation of the actual heat loss of a particular room.
To reduce energy costs, use weekly programming of the operating modes of the appliance.

MAINTENANCE

At least once a month, clean the convector grids from dust with a brush and a vacuum cleaner. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or aggressive materials that can damage the convector coating. When the convector is operated in a heavily polluted atmosphere, sports may appear on the intake (exhaust) grid. Such surface contamination is not covered by the warranty, and their appearance is not a reason for replacing the convector.
