OIL-FILLED RADIATOR YL-A07S-7

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The radiator is packaged with the feet unattached. You must attach them before operating the radiator.
WARNING: Do not operate the radiator without its feet attached. Operate the radiator only while it is in the upright position (feet at the bottom, controls at the top); any other position could create a hazardous situation.

1. Place the radiator body upside down in a scratch-resistant location; make sure it is stable and will not fall over.
2. Unscrew the wing nuts from the U-shaped bolt provided, attach the Ushaped bolt to the U-profile flange between the first and second fins (near the front cover).
3. To attach the castor-mounting plate to the radiator body, you should insert the threaded ends of the U-shaped bolt into the holes on the castor-mounting plate.
4. Screw the wing nuts back onto the U-shaped bolt, fastening the wing nuts properly.

Note: Do not over tighten as this may cause damage to the radiator flange.

5. Unscrew the spherical nut from the castor, align the shaft with the hole on the castor-mounting plate and insert, then screw on the spherical nut.
6. Repeat 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the rear of the radiator to mount the rear castors.
   Note: The rear castors must be mounted between the end two fins.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Before using the radiator, make sure that it is on a flat and stable surface. Damage may occur if it is placed on an incline.
2. Set all the controls to the OFF position and insert the plug into a power outlet socket that is properly earthed (grounded). Make sure that plug fits firmly.
3. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to MAX position and switch the radiator on as follows: just switch I on for low heat, just switch II on for medium heat, both switches on for high heat.
4. When your room reaches the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob anticlockwise (counterclockwise) until the indicator light goes out. The thermostat can now be left at this setting. As soon as the room temperature drops below the set temperature, the radiator will switch itself on automatically and remain on until the set temperature has been reached again. In this way, the temperature of the room is maintained while using electricity in the most economical way.
5. If you want to change the temperature setting for the room, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to raise the temperature or anticlockwise (counterclockwise) to lower it.
6. This radiator includes an overheat protection system that shuts off the radiator when parts of it are getting excessively hot.
7. To completely shut the radiator off, turn all the controls to OFF and remove the plug from the power outlet socket.

MAINTENANCE

1. Always remove the plug from the power outlet socket and allow the radiator to cool down before cleaning the radiator.

2. Wipe the radiator with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth.
   WARNING:
   Do not immerse the radiator in water.
   Do not use any cleaning chemicals such as detergents or anything abrasive on the radiator.
   Do not allow the interior of the radiator to get wet, as this could create a hazard.

3. To store the radiator, wind its cable up, then put the radiator in a clean, dry place.

4. If a malfunction occurs or if you are in any doubt, do not try to repair the radiator yourself, as this may result in a fire hazard or electric shock.
