DESCRIPTION

(see figure on pag. 2).
The terminology below will be used repeatedly in the following
pages.

A Thermostat
B Power selector
C/D/E Power indicator lights (MIN, MED, MAX)
F Timer
G Cord holder
H Wheel

USE
Fitting the wheels

Turn the radiator upside down on a rug or soft surface to prevent
damaging the paint nish. Fully unfold the wheels by turning
them outwards (Fig. 1). Turn the radiator back to its upright
position.

Caution

Always operate the heater in upright position only (wheels on
the bottom, controls on top).
Any other position could create a hazardous situation.

Location

The heater should not be placed immediately below a power
outlet. Do not use this radiator in rooms with a oor area of less
than 4 m2 (43 sq. ft. ).

Connection

- Before using the appliance check that your supply voltage
is the same of that shown on the rating label of the
unit and that the power socket and power supply line
correspond to the load specied.

- Check also the current capacity of your fuses. CONNECT
YOUR HEATER TO EARTH PROVIDED SOCKET ONLY.

- This appliance complies with directive 2004/108/ec on
electromagnetic compatibility.

Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and ammable
material away from the heater's wall outlet.

Turning on

Insert the plug into an electrical outlet, rotate the thermostat
knob to maximum and turn the unit on as follows using the
power selector:

- Turn the power selector to position MIN to select minimum
output (the min light will be on).

- Turn the power selector to position MED to select medium
output (the min/med light will be on).

- Turn the power selector to position MAX to select maximum
output (the lights will be on).

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 not beyond it. The thermostat will then adjust
the set temperature automatically and keep it constant.
If your unit is a three-output version, in intermediate seasons
or on days when temperatures are not particularly cold, select
minimum output to optimize savings and consumption.

Fig. 1

Antifreeze function

Turn the thermostat dial to the position and the power
selector to position MAX. The appliance will maintain a minimum
room temperature of approximately 5°C, thus preventing
freezing while conserving energy. In models that come with a
timer, tabs must be set in the inward position.

Reminder

To completely shut the appliance o, turn the power selector to
the "0" position and then unplug the appliance from the outlet.

The timer is like an electric clock, and will only work when
plugged into a power supply. When unplugged, the timer stops
and must be later re-set.

UNITS WITH TIMER
How to use the timer

To program heating, proceed as follows:

- Look at the time on your clock or watch. If it is 10 p.m., turn
the numbered timer disk clockwise until the number 22 (10
p.m.) on the disk coincides with the pointer s (3) on the
timer. Set the periods of time when you want the appliance
to work by pushing the teeth (1) inward. Each tooth (1)
corresponds to a period of 15 minutes. This will leave
visible sectors which correspond to the periods of operation
(2). When set, the radiator will operate automatically each
day during the times programmed (important: the radiator
must always be plugged into the socket).

- To change the programming, move the teeth back into the
initial position and set the new periods of operation.

- To turn the appliance o completely, as well as turning the
knob to the o position, you must also unplug it from the
power outlet to avoid continued operation of the timer.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER­CLOCKWISE.

Timer override

If you wish to override the timer settings, push the timer switch
to position I (g.2) manual (timer override). To return to timed
operation push the switch back to the middle position
(g.2).

NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0 position (g. 2), the
heater is o and will not operate).

and store it in a dry place. This appliance has been built to last
for many years of trouble-free service. In case of malfunction
or doubt, do not try to repair the heater by yourself: this might
