Electric Heating Convector HCA

Description of Appliance

The following terms are used throughout the instruction manual

Fig.1

Thank you for choosing De’Longhi convector. To get the

best results from your new heater it is advisable to read

these instructions carefully before use. This should ensure

optimum results and maximum safety.

HOW TO USE YOUR CONVECTOR

General Instructions

Remove the heater from the packaging. Check that neither the

heater nor the power cable has been damaged during transport.

Do not operate the heater if damaged.

Your convector is suitable for either freestanding or wall mounting

usage. Do not assemble the feet if wall mounting.

1.Assembling the Feet

To fit the feet to the appliance, proceed as follows:

Insert the foot into the slot at the side and push it in all the way

until it hooks onto the two teeth (as shown in description).

2. Electrical Connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that your sup-

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

appliance.

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.

This appliance complies with EEC Directive 89/336 relating to elec-

tromagnetic compatibility.

3.Wall-mounting

IMPORTANT: Before drilling into any wall ensure no electrical

cables are present in the area.

In order to wall mount your convector please proceed as follows:

1. Fix two brackets “A” following carefully the dimensions as indi-

cated in decsription. Use a 6 mm masonry drill and suitable wall

plugs and 2 x No 8 screws (minimum lenght 25 mm).

2. Hang the convector on the two brackets fixed to the wall and

insert metal brackets “B” into the bottom rear section of the

base of the convector as indicated in figure 1,one at each end.

Mark the positions for fixing these brackets to the wall.

This bracket when fixed retains the base of the convector in a

fixed position, preventing removal.

3. Remove the convector heater from the hanging brackets and

drill the wall for 2 x suitable wall plugs and insert them.

4. Fit the convector to the 2 brackets “A”. Insert Brackets “B” to

the convector base and fix brackets “B” to the wall plugs by

means of 2 x No 8 screws ( minimum lenght 25 mm).

Electric Heating Convector HCA

Your convector is now wall mounted.

The appliances should not be installed directly under a wall power

socket.

Do not use your heater in a bathroom.

The appliance should not be installed immediately below a

permanent mains outlet.

Position the appliance so that the plug and the outlet can

be easily reached even after installation.

4. How to use it

This heater has ECC (electronic climate control) which automati-

cally monitors and selects the ideal power to maintain a chosen

temperature.

Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on, pressing the

button (fig. 2) one or more times, to select your operating heating

power as follows:

The LEDs on the left hand side show you the power selected (fig.2)

The LEDs on the right hand side show you the actual power the

heater is operating at. (fig.3)

Important: when the heater has been set for timed operation and

is in a standby period (i.e waiting to come on), the LEDs on the

right hand side will light up and go out intermittently. (See timer

instructions).

5. Adjusting the thermostat

If maximum power has been selected, adjust the thermostat dial

(fig. 4) to the desired comfort temperature from (5°C) and

MAX (35°C).

If the selected temperature is higher than the actual room temper-

ature, the appliance will start automatically and rapidly heat the

room until it reaches the selected temperature. The unit will auto-

matically maintain the temperature at a constant level by cycling

between max power, med power and min power as it approaches

the selected comfort temperature (see fig. 5).

If the room temperature exceeds the selected temperature level,

the appliance will switch off (fig. 3D).The heater will switch back

on automatically when the room temperature falls below the

selected temperature level.

If medium power level has been selected using the button, and

the thermostat set, the heater will modulate between the medium

and minimum power levels.As with the maximum power setting, if

the room temperature exceeds the selected temperature, the appli-

ance will switch off, and then on again when the temperature falls.

(For models with timer, ensure that the switch on the timer dial

(as shown in description) is in position 1, manual.

NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0position (fig.4), the heater is

off and will not operate).

Frost stat function

Press the button, it is recommended to select maximum power

level.

Set the thermostat dial to the “ “ position (fig. 4).

When set in this way, the appliance will switch on automatically

only if the room temperature falls below 5°C, to prevent freezing,

at minimum energy consumption.

This function is not guaranteed in the event of power failures, even

if lasting just a few seconds.

Models with turbo fan boost (as shown in decsription)

A number of models have a turbo fan boost for even more rapid

and uniform heating.To use this function, press the switch on the

fan grill.

Cool air ventilation

To operate the fan only for “cool air” ventilation, ensure that ECC

is off and turn the thermostat to the maximum then press the

switch on the fan grill.

Using the timer

If you wish to use the timer, position the switch in the middle posi-

tion (Fig.5)

is lined up with the triangular pointer .

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 the notches on the dial

corresponding to the period required (each notch represents

15 mins.)

2) Make sure that the timer indicates the correct time (see

instructions on setting the correct time).

3) Select the desired function as shown in the table on page 5.

Once programmed in this way, the appliance will repeat the pre-

established program every day, if the selector is in the position

Electrical connection (U.K. only)

A) Your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13

Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut

off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.

WARNING:Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after

removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere

in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.

With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must

be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fit-

ted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse

to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must

NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained

from your nearest electrical dealer.The colour of the correct

replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the

plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug or if it must be

replaced, please follow the instructions provided below:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond

with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,

proceed as follows:

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the

letter N or coloured black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with

the letter L or coloured red.I

If you have a 3-pins plug, do not connect any wire to the “earth”

terminal.
