Getting to know your appliance
Assembling your appliance
IMPORTANT: Remove all the packaging covering the appliance.
The wheel plates should only be tted between the outer ns of the radiator with the ‘U’ shaped wheel plate tted on the side nearest the control panel.
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or soft surface to avoid any damage.
Tilt the wheel plate and guide the curved end of the clamp through and over the hole. Make sure it securely hooks into place.
Turn and stand the appliance in the upright position. Allow the oil to re-disperse and settle.
Unscrew and remove the wing nut from the clamp and hook the clamp around the outer edge of the n, nearest the control panel.
Push the other end of the clamp through the second hole and tighten securely into position using the wing nut.
Line up the ‘U’ shaped wheel plate making sure the castor wheels face out towards the control panel.
Repeat the process for the (straight) second wheel plate. Attach to the outer n on the opposite side of the radiator.
