these instructions before using it.This will ensure that you

gain optimum results and use the appliance safely.

General instructions

Take the radiator out of its packing box and remove any polystyre-

ne pieces or any other packaging material that might be lodged

inside it.

Make sure that the radiator has not been damaged during transit and

that the mains cable is in working order. Do not operate the radia-

tor if damaged.

“Easy wheel”system

prevent damaging the paint finish.Fully unfold the castors by turning

them outwards (Fig.1).

Turn the radiator back to its upright position.

Electrical connection

-Before plugging the radiator into the mains, check that your

supply voltage is the same as that shown on the rating plate of

the radiator.

- If using more than one appliance at a time,it is important to

ensure that the ring main is adequate to cope with the power

requirements.

- It is important to ensure that the socket is adequately earthed.

- This radiator complies with EEC Directive 89/336 relating to

electromagnetic compatibility.

How to use it

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.
