GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This manual applies to the wall electric convectors, 29.7-14307771-009:2006 technical standards of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as “convectors”). Convectors are designed for primary and secondary heating of buildings in domestic and similar conditions. Convectors are installed permanently on the wall or on the floor on passive supports.
Convectors are equipped with a thermostat to set and maintain the desired temperature in the room, protection against overheating, as well as the function of protecting the room from freezing (maintaining the room temperature within +(5…7) °C, which does not allow freezing of the room with minimal energy consumption).
Convectors are designed for round-the-clock operation without supervision.
When buying a convector, require a check of its operability, compliance of the delivery set with the “Package contents” section of this manual, and the absence of mechanical damage. Check the availability of warranty card, completeness and correctness of its filling. The convector model should comply with the data indicated in the warranty card. The warranty card is valid only if there is correctly and legibly specified sales data, clear seals of the seller.

After filling out the warranty card, it is not allowed to make any amendments, additions, delete and rewrite the data added by the seller.
Keep the cashier’s check, this manual, warranty card and packaging during the warranty period of the convector. Lost documentation attached to the convector upon sale is not restored.

REMEMBER, if you fail to comply with the above recommendations or if there is mechanical damage to the convector, you lose the right to warranty service.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

1. Electric convector 1 pc.
2. Brackets (2 pcs) for wall mounting 1 set
3. Supports (2 pcs) for on-floor configuration 1 set
4. User manual 1 copy
5. Packaging 1 set

IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO

• Place the heater directly under the outlet.
• Partially or complety cover, clog holes in the intake and exhaust grids.
• Place flammable substances and objects near the convector.
• Use convectors in the immediate vicinity of the bathtub, shower or swimming pool.
• Touch the plug of the power cord and the convector with wet hands.

PREPARATION FOR WORK

1. Unpack the convector. Keep the packaging for future use if you need to remove the convector for long-term storage. After storing or transporting the convector at a low temperature (in case of dew), it should be kept at room temperature for at least 2 hours before turning on.
2. Check that your power supply complies with the technical data of the convector described in section 2 of this manual: power supply voltage; the ability of protective devices, electrical wiring and socket for connecting the convector to withstand the current consumed by the convector. If necessary, consult your dealer or an authorized representative of an authorized service center.
3. Choose the place where the convector will be operated. Do not install the convector in a draft, under the openings of the forced ventilation system, in the area of direct sunlight.
4. For stationary installation of the convector, mark the mounting holes on the wall, referring to Figure 1 and Table 2. Fix the brackets for installing the convector in any way possible, ensuring their reliable fastening during the entire life of the convector.
   An example of installing a convector in a room is shown in Figure 2 (distances to objects are given in cm). Align the rectangular holes on the back of the convector with the upper hooks (Fig. 1) of the brackets and put the convector on the hooks.
   Pull the convector up until the lower hooks of the brackets are fixed in the holes of the convector intake grid.

5. The convector may be installed in rooms with high humidity – bathrooms, showers, pools (Fig. 3). It is prohibited to install the convector:

• in the area 1 of bathrooms, showers;
• in the area 2, if a person, being in a bath or under a shower, can reach the controls of the convector. Outlets for connecting convectors should be installed at a distance of at least 25 cm from the floor outside the area 2.
  

6. To operate the convector on the floor, install the supports according to figures 4.1 – 4.3.
   To install the supports, put the convector on a horizontal surface with the base up.
   

7. Install the hooks of the support (Fig. 4.1) in the corresponding holes of the air intake grid so that the holes for screw fixing in the support and along the edges of the convector base coincide, fix the support with a screw (Fig. 4.2). Secure the other support in the same way. Place the convector in operating position on a flat surface (see Fig. 4.3). The placement of the convector on supports in the room is similar (see Fig. 3), while the distance from the rear wall of the convector to objects (furniture, curtains, etc.) should be at least 15 cm.

8. Turn the switch key to the off position “0”, set the thermostat knob to the position (connect the sign on the knob with the mark on the control unit). The convector is ready for operation (the location of the convector controls is shown in **Fig. 5).

OPERATION

Warning! It is strictly prohibited to turn on and operate the convector without fixing it to the brackets on the wall or on the floor without the installed supports. Turning on and operating the convector is allowed only in the position indicated in Fig. 1 (intake grid down). When you turn on the convector for the first time, the smell of evaporation of preservation materials is possible. It is recommended to ventilate the room.

Turning the convector on.

Plug the power cord of the convector into a power outlet. Set the thermostat knob near the “MAX” position. Turn on the convector by moving the switch key to the «I» position.

When the room temperature reaches the desired value (you can check the temperature with a thermometer), slowly turn the thermostat knob towards decreasing the numerical values (relative to the mark) indicated on the knob until the thermostat switches off the heating mode, which is accompanied by a characteristic “click” sound. This temperature will continue to be maintained automatically in the room.
To reduce the temperature in the room, position the thermostat knob relative to the mark at a lower numerical value, to increase it, at a higher one.
To switch the convector in half power mode (for convectors with a step power regulator), it is enough to put one of the regulator keys to the “0” position.

Initializing the anti-freezing function.

Set the thermostat knob to the position and turn on the convector.

Disconnecting the convector from the mains.

Set the switch key to “0” position, unplug the convector power cord from the outlet.

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 100 W per 1 m2 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 electricity costs:

• keep track of the achievement of the set temperature in the room on time;
• turn off the convector when ventilating the room;
• if you are not in the room for less than 2 hours – do not change the thermostat settings, and if you are not in the room for more than 24 hours – set the thermostat knob to the position;
• if several convectors are installed in the room, synchronize their work by setting the thermostat knobs in the same position.

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.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

1. Convectors in the manufacturer’s packaging can be transported by all types of covered vehicles, which ensure their protection against atmospheric precipitation and mechanical damage, in accordance with the rules for the carriage of goods in force on this type of transport.
