HOW TO INSTALL WHEELS

In the packaging the radiator has no wheels, which must be mounted before the commissioning of the device.
Do not operate the heater without the wheels assemblies attached to the bottom of the unit. Otherwise there may be risk of fire.

Loosen the nuts and washers from the wheels.
Attach the wheels to the axle with two metal washer and nut.
Turn over the radiator for easy assembly, make it sure that it’s stable with no fall risk.
Remove the nuts from the screws U (1) and insert the screws U-shaped through holes in the assembly of the wheel as shown (Fig. 2 and 3), hang up the wing nut and tighten firmly (fig. 4). Attention: do not over tighten, it may cause the damage of radiator flange.
Repeat the same for mounting the wheels at the front and the back of the radiator.
Return the device upright.

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 convector data plate.

Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to MAX (maximum) position and select the desired heat level switching the heater as follows: I low heat – II medium heat – III high heat
Room temperature can be regulated by rotating the thermostat clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease temperature.

When the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the power indicator light goes out, thermostat can be now left at this setting.
When the room temperature has dropped below the set temperature, automatically the radiator will switch itself until the room temperature will be reached again. In this way the room temperature remains constant with the most economical use of electricity. If you want to change the room temperature setting, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to raise the temperature, of counterclockwise to lower it. This heater includes an overheat protection system that shuts off the heater when parts of heater are getting excessively hot.

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 convector again.
Do not immerse the heater 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 convector radiator. 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 and out it in the special cable box. Always wait for it to cool down.
