USE
Fitting the wheels
Turn the radiator upside down on a rug or soft surface to prevent damaging the paint finish. 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 floor 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 specified.
- 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 flammable 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.
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 off, turn the power selector to the “0” position and then unplug the appliance from the outlet.
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
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 off completely, as well as turning the knob to the off position, you must also unplug it from the power outlet to avoid continued operation of the timer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
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.
Timer override
If you wish to override the timer settings, push the timer switch to position I (fig.2) manual (timer override). To return to timed operation push the switch back to the middle position (fig.2).
NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0 position (fig. 2), the heater is off and will not operate).
Safety device
A safety device shuts the radiator down in the case of overheating. To start the radiator up again, contact Customer Experience. See enclosed guarantee leaflet.

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.
Please note: 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 colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol
- The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or colored black.
- The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or colored 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 color of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the colored insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this color when ordering a replacement fuse cover. Only 13 amp 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.
Warning – this appliance must be earthed
