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

the best results from your new heater please read these

instructions carefully before use. This should ensure opti-

mum results and maximum safety.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Important: to avoid the safety system resetting accidentally, this

appliance must not be powered through an external timer.

• The first time you use the appliance, operate it for at least 15

minutes with the thermostat at maximum to eliminate the “new”

smell. A little smoke due to the protective substances applied to

the heating element before transport may be given off. This is

completely normal and not a cause for concern.

•Do not use the convector heater near bath tubs, showers,

sinks or swimming pools.The appliance must not be pla-

ced directly under a fixed socket.

• Do not rest the power cable on the appliance when hot.

• Always use the heater in a vertical position only.

• Do not obstruct the hot air outlet grilles or the air intake grille

on the bottom or top of the appliance.

• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including chil-

dren) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack

of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given super-

vision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Heaters should never be used with an extension cord or outlet

strip. Heaters should be plugged directly into an outlet.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-

facturer, an authorised service centre in order to eliminate all risk.

Please see guarantee leaflet for Customer Service details.

• Do not use this appliance in rooms measuring less than 4m2. You

should avoid positioning it in currents of air which could disturb

operation of the heater.

A safety device trips and turns the appliance off in the event of

overheating or if it is placed in strong currents of air. To reset,

unplug the appliance from the mains socket and leave to cool

down (about five minutes), remove the cause of overheating, plug

back into the mains and turn on again.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, never under

any circumstances cover the appliance during operation.

CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent reset-

ting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied

through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected

to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

Important information for correct disposal of the product

in accordance with EC Directive 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be

disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special

local authority differentiated waste collection centre or

to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a house-

hold appliance separately avoids possible negative conse-

quences for the environment and health deriving from

inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent mate-

rials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in

energy and resources.As a reminder of the need to dis-

pose of household appliances separately, the product is

marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

HOW TO USE YOUR CONVECTOR

ASSEMBLING THE FEET

- Fit the feet to the appliance as follows:

- Fasten the feet in position using the screws supplied (see fig. 1).

OPERATION AND USE

Turning the appliance on

Models with thermostat only

This appliance can be turned on by rotating its thermostat knob (A)

clockwise until it stops at the last possible setting (fig. 2).To turn this

appliance off, rotate the knob to its lowest position and remove its

plug from the electrical outlet.

Models with a thermostat and two switches

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise (A) until it reaches its last possible

setting, then press one switch (minimum power) or both switches (B)

(maximum power) so the part of the switch area becomes visible (fig. 2).

Adjusting the thermostat

When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the

thermostat knob slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until you get

to the setting — and not beyond it — where you hear a click.The

thermostat will then adjust that set temperature automatically and

keep it constant. If your appliance is the type with 2 switches, you

could utilize only one of them during mild seasons and on days not

particularly cold.You will thus use little electrical power and obtain

even greater savings in energy consumption.

Frost protection function (only for models with a thermostat)

Turn the switch (or switches) to make the red area show, then turn

the thermostat knob to the " " setting.When so regulated, this

appliance will keep a room at a temperature of 5° C. while consu-

ming a minimum of energy.

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 “C” following carefully the dimensions as indi-

cated in description (fig. 3). Use a 6 mm masonry drill and suit-

able wall plugs and appropriate two screws and two brackets

(provided).

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

insert metal bracket “D” into the bottom rear section of the

base of the convector as indicated in figure 4.

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 and insert the brackets.

4. Fit the convector to the 2 brackets “C”. Insert Bracket “D” to

the convector base and fix bracket “D” to the wall plug using

the screw (screws and brackets provided).

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.

MAINTENANCE

Always pull the plug out of its electrical outlet before beginning any

cleaning.

This electric convector requires no special maintenance.All you have

to do is dust it off with a soft, dry cloth — but do so only when the

appliance is cold. Never use abrasive powders or solvents.
