Fitting the castors Remove the carton containing the castor ass emblies from the packing.

The castors must be fitted between the fins ( as shown on ‘ a’ and ‘b’ in Fig 1)

.

The heat output is controlled by the thermostat, according to the room temperature.

Turn the knob to max. setting. When the room is warm enough, r educe the setting slowly until

Fig. 3 the radiat or just clicks off.

Fit the c astors to the stub axles by app lying hand pressure until eac h cast or clicks into position.

Note that the c astors are designed to be a tight fit on the axles but will rotate in us e.

IMPORTANT – ENSURE THAT THE CASTORS ARE FITTED TO THE BASE OF THE

RADIATOR SO THAT, WHEN IN USE, THE CONTROLS ARE AT THE TOP AND THE CABLE

STORAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTROL PANEL – see Fig. 2.

The radiator will now cycle on and off to maintai n your sel ected room temper ature.

NOTE : If the radiator does not c ome on when the thermostat is on a low setting, this is normally

because the room is warmer than the thermostat setting and is not a fault.

If the thermostat is set to min. and a heat setting is selected, the thermostat will turn the radiator

on and off to maintain a low temperature to help pr otect against f rosty conditions.

Turn the radiat or upside down on a carpet or other s oft surf ace t o avoid damage.

Warning : The radiator is heavy – ensur e that it is supported to prevent it from toppling. Ask a

second person to help with this if necessary. Locate the wire clamps and remove the plastic

straps and winged nuts (see ‘C’ bel ow).

Insert the non-threaded end of the wire clamp ‘A’ into one of the two holes in the cast or plate ‘B’

as shown in Fig. 2, at the s ame ti me tilti ng the opposite end of the plate slightly. Lower the c astor

plate and ins ert the thr eaded end of the clamp thr ough the fins and over the boss and in to the

other hole in the castor plate. Place the winged nut ‘C’ on the thread and tighten it securely

.

Lift the radiator clear of the floor, then tur n it back upright and stand it on its castors as shown in

Fig. 2 ‘D’. It is now ready for use.

Positioning the radiator

Always ensure that the radiator is stood on a firm, level base near to, but not directl y beneath, a

suitable fixed socket outlet.

Unwind the mains lead fully from the cable store at the base of the control panel before

plugging in the radiator. DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.

Ensure that curt ains and furnit ure are not closer than 1 metre (3’) from the chosen position, as

this would create a potential fire hazard.

Ensure that th ere is at least 300mm ( 1’) above the radiator of unobstructed space

.

Before switching on

Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and that all

warnings and instructions have been r ead carefully and followed.

Operation

When you are certain that you have completed the above, plug in and switc h on at the wall

socket. T he neon will glow all the time that the radiator is switched on

.
