mill Gentle Air WiFi Oil Filled Radiator

Thanks for buying Mill

Our company was founded in Norway in 1992 by Cato Bryn, specializing in the distribution of oil filled radiators and other types of heaters. From 1992 to 2009, we had gained significant knowledge and expertise of different types of heaters, thus enabling us to sell to many of the largest retailers in the Nordic countries.

In 2010, Cato’s son, Philip joined the company. Philip looked at the heating industry with fresh new eyes and wondered why there had been so little change with the appearance of portable heaters in the last 20 years, especially since interior design, in general, had changed dramatically over the years. Philip thought consumers should have more styles to choose from other than the typical old-fashioned, traditional heaters.

Since heaters are part of so many homes, Philip and Cato decided to use their extensive knowledge to re-invent the design of heaters. They wanted to create beautiful, modern and minimalistic heaters, using the most advanced technology, that would complement people’s homes. They launched the brand “Mill” in 2012.

Mill offers revolutionary, innovative Norwegian designs. We are continuously innovating to complement our line of products to meet consumers’ demands.

Prospering on our success in the Nordics we decided to promote Mill at some of the world’s largest electronic fairs and home shows, and the feedback from retailers and distributors all over the world was amazing. We are proud to say that consumers in over 25 countries can now keep warm with style

Temperature calibration
It may occur deviation between the temperature registered by the heater and the actual temperature in the room. This can be caused by several reasons, however, the most common is that the heater is placed in a fair distance from where you usually reside. When you set the temperature to for example 22 degrees, it is only natural that you expect the same temperature where your sofa is placed for instance. However, the temperature sensor is placed on the product itself, and therefore a deviation in temperature may occur. To adjust this, all Mill heaters are equipped with a calibration function, which enables you to adjust the temperature registered by the heater. N.B! The room must have achieved a stable temperature before any calibration.

Press 2 times and use the wheel (+ or –) to set the actual temperature observed in the room. Confirm with or wait 5 seconds for automatic confirmation.
