Thank you for choosing this De’Longhi convector. To
get the very best out of your new convector it is
advisable to read these instructions before using it.
This will ensure that you gain optimum results and
use the convector safely.
Assembling the feet
Fit the feet to the convector as follows:
- Insert the foot ensuring that the bigger hole A on the foot
coincides with the screw mounted on the base of the convector (see figure 1); then screw in the remaining three screws
(see figure 2) which are supplied.
Note: the convector must be used only with the feet correctly fitted!
Electrical connection
- Before plugging the convector into the mains, check that your
supply voltage is the same as that shown on the rating plate of
the convector and that the electric installation is suitable to the
power shown on the rating plate.
- If using more than one convector at a time, it is important to
ensure that the ring main is adequate to cope with the power
requirements.
- This convector complies with EEC Directive 89/336 relating to
electromagnetic compatibility.
Operation and use
Turning the convector on
Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on turning the
thermostat knob clockwise until it can be turned no further;
then position the switch up in the I position (minimum power, 1
kw) or down in the II position (maximum power, 2 kw): the red
pilot light will come on.
We suggest that on days when temperatures are not particularly
cold, select minimum output to optimise savings on energy consumption.
Turning the convector off
To s witch the convector off, position the switch in the middle, in
the “0” position.
Adjusting the thermostat
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the
thermostat knob slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until you
hear a click and the convector turns off (pilot light off). The thermostat will now keep the temperature in the room constant, turning the convector on and off as appropriate.

Cleaning and maintenance
The convector should not require any maintenance. However
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the convector from the mains and wait for it to cool (this should take
around 5 minutes). It is sufficient to remove external dust with a
soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive powders or solvents. If necessary, remove concentrated areas of dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Warnings
- Do not use the convector in a bathroom or in the vicinity of
bathtubs, wash basins, showers or swimming pools.
- Never use the convector to dry laundry.
- Never place the power cable on top of the convector while it is
hot.
- Only use the convector in an upright position.
- Do not block the outlet grilles at the top of the convector or the
intake grille at the bottom of the convector .
- The convector must be positioned at least 50cm from furniture
or other objects.
- If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, an authorised service centre or a qualified electrician in
order to eliminate all risk.
- Do not use this convector in rooms which have a floor area
smaller than 4m
2
.
- We recommend that you do not place the convector in a draught
as this may adversely affect the convector ’s operational efficiency.
- The convector must never be placed immediately under a fixed
mains socket.
- A safety device intervenes and turns the convector off in the
event of overheating or because the convector is positioned in a
strong draught of air. To reactivate the convector , remove the
plug from the mains, allow the convector to cool (for about 5
mins), remove the cause of the overheating/draught and then plug
the convector back into the mains and turn it back on.
- The use of an extension lead is not recommended, as overheating of
the extension lead may occur during the operation of the convector
- In order to avoid any danger caused by an accidental resetting of
the safety system, this convector must not be powered through
an external timer.
- As with any electrical convector , whilst the instructions aim to
cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common
sense should be applied when operating your convector , particularly in the vicinity of young children.
Important: never cover this convector in any manner whatsoever while it is operating as this could lead to dangerous
overheating.

Electrical requirements
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated
on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your
home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your
local electricity company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug,
following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should
therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find
it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
N.B.We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that
can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp
on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this
operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be
replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted.
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
cover is obtained.The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is
that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere
on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse
cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362
should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
