Models with 24-hour timer
Using the timer
If you wish to use the timer,position the switch in the middle position .
(Fig.4).
Setting the correct time
Check the time on your watch.If for example it is 4.00 pm.(16.00),
turn the dial in a clockwise direction until the number 16 is lined up
with the triangular pointer (fig.2).
N.B.:Never turn the dial in an anti-clockwise direction!
The timer is in effect an electric clock and works only if the plug is
connected to the power supply. Whenever the plug is disconnected
or there is a power failure,the clock must be re-set.
To program the timer
1) Set the operating times by pushing out with your thumbnail to
the outer rim,the notches on the dial corresponding to the period
required (fig.3) (each notch represents 15 mins.)
2) Make sure that the timer indicates the correct time (see instruc-
tions on setting the correct time).
3) Turn the radiatior on and set it to the heat setting and tempera-
ture level on the thermostat as required.
Once programmed in this way, the appliance will repeat the pre-
established program every day, if the selector is in the position.
Timer override
If you wish to override the timer settings,push the timer switch to
position 1(fig.4) manual (timer override).To return to timed opera-
tion push the switch back to the middle position (fig.4).

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 out-
lets 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 out-
lets,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 sup-
pression of radio interference.
