IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using this heater.
2.If your radiator is equipped with a polythene tape used as carry handle, remove it before connecting appliance to the outlet.
3.This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handle when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0,9 m) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
4.Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
5.Always unplug heater when not in use.
6.Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If heater has leaked any oil, discontinue using the heater and contact the service center as indicated in this instructions leaflet. Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
7.Do not use outdoors.
8.This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.
9.Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
10.To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
11.Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
12.Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the heater.
13.To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
14.A heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
15.Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
16.To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet (receptacle) or into anolher outlet (receptacle) wired into the same circuit.
17.It is normal for the heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be a result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets or receptacles should be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet /receptacle/ may result in overheating of the power cord or fire.
18.Do not use an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 1 4 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be used only for supplying power to this heater.
19.Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate receptacle. Please remember that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs overheating or deformations are evidenced by the plug. Do not use the receptacle and CALL your electrician.
20.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way during transportation.
21.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
22.When switching on the appliance for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two hours to get rid of the unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small cracking sounds when you turn it on for the first time.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert

HOW TO USE YOUR HEATER
FITTING THE WHEELS
Remove the feet and the wheels from the polystyrene packing. Turn the radiator upside-down on a rug or a soft surface in order to prevent damaging the paint finish.
-Fit the wheels to the spindles on the feet and push firmly until they click into position. Pull each wheel to check that it is correctly inserted.
-The feet with the casters must be fitted with two arc-shaped brackets only between the 1st and 2nd element (see fig. 1 to 4 inclusive)

1. LOCATION
Place heater on floor beneath coldest window in the room or any desired location. Your heater will minimize the effect of cold drafts.
The heater must not be located immediately below a socket-outlet. Do not use this radiator in rooms having a surface area less than 4 m2.
2. CONNECTION
This appliance must be grounded.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The radiator must be connected to a properly installed and grounded AC 110-120 V household outlet in perfect working conditions.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. The use of an extension cord is not recomanded, but if it is necessary to use one, use only a three-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The minimum recommanded size of the extension cord is 14 AWG, rated not less than 1875 Watts.
Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall outlet where the heater plug is fitted in.
3. SWITCHING ON TWO-SWITCH MODELS
Turn thermostat clockwise to the maximum position. Switch on both switches. The lights on the switches remain on indipendent of the cycling of the thermostat. When room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a “click”. This will automatically set your unit to cycle on and off at that desired heat setting.
Note: It will normally require approx.15 minutes to reach operating temperature.
4. USE OF THERMOSTAT
The thermostat operates on room air temperature and not radiator temperature. Counter clockwise direction - lower number, lower temperature. Clockwise directionhigher number, higher temperature.
Antifreeze function
Turn the thermostat dial to the 
position and press the switches. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C thus preventing freezing, with a minimum energy consumption.
REMINDER
To completely shut unit off, ON/OFF switches must be placed in OFF position.
5. UNITS WITH TIMER Clock setting
The program/timer, as with all clocks, must be set to the correct time. If for example the time is 9.30 a.m. (day zone), rotate the dial clockwise (following the direction of the arrow) until 9.30 is aligned with the triangular pointer.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
The timer is in effect an electric clock and would only work while it is plugged into a power supply.
When unplugged, the timer stops and must be later re-set.
