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.

General instructions

1. Remove the heater from the packaging.

2. Turn the heater upside down and rest on the polystyrene.

3. Check that neither the heater nor the power cable has been

damaged in any way during transportation.

4. Do not operate the heater if damaged.

5. Your heater is suitable for either freestanding or wall mounting

usage.

Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging materi-

al have been left between the elements of the appliance.

It may be necessary to use a vacuum cleaner to help eliminate the

small pieces.

Fitting the castors

Remove the castors, wheels and assemblies from the polystyrene

packaging.

In the unlikely event that there are any parts missing please contact

our customer services department on 0845 600 6845 who will

send you the part by return.

Insert the castors into the pins of the feet and push them all the

way in until a click can be heard (fig1) Make sure that they are in

tightly by pulling the wheels gently. Attach the castor assembly into

the base of the control panel by inserting the guiding ridges

between the control panel and the first element and between the

end panel and the last element; insert the location lug into its

housing and lock the castor assembly to the product by inserting

the eye screw and screwing it in tightly (fig1). Finally turn the

heater over to its upright position, ensuring you do not damage

the wheels.

Installation wall-mounting

The wall mounting kit should contain:

2 x Upper brackets (A)

1 x Lower brackets (B)

5 x screws

1. Select position for locating the heater ensuring that:

a. It is not located directly below a power socket outlet.

b. The plug and power outlet can be easily reached after

installation.

c. No electric cables or other tubes could be damaged.

d. Keep away from curtains or inflammable materials. Also

note the minimum distances indicated in the figure 2.

Important

Before drilling into any wall ensure no electrical cables are present

in the area, especially hidden in the wall. (if in doubt, consult a qual-

ified electrician).

2. Following carefully the dimensions as indicated below (the dis-

tance depends on which model you have purchased) mark dis-

tance “D” on your wall.

3. Line up the centre of the holes of the brackets “A” with the

marked lines (indicated in fig 3 and 4 as the dashed lines)ensur-

ing that the 2 brackets are level, mark the holes to be drilled.

4. For solid brick block walls, use a 6 mm masonry drill and drill the

marked holes and then insert wall plugs to suit.

(For plasterboard we suggest, locating the studding and using No

6 woodscrews directly into the wood, or special plasterboard fix-

ings. For other wall types please seek specialist advice).

5. Fix the brackets “A” onto the wall. Then hang the radiator (fig.5).

To make it easier to locate brackets “A” into their respective slots (in

the rear of the radiator),we suggest that you mark a pencil line on the

back of the radiator adjacent to the top and bottom of each slot, so

that you can see more easily the slots position. Once the brackets are

located alongside the slots, move the radiator to the side to engage in

the slots and hang the radiator on the brackets.This will now allow

you to locate bracket ‘B’ correctly.

6. Mark the position for fixing the lower brackets “B” to the wall.

This bracket when fixed retains the base of the radiator prevent-

ing removal.

7. Fit the radiator to the 2 brackets “A” (fig. 5). Insert bracket “B”

in the middle of the radiator base as shown in figure 5.

Fix the bracket “B” to the pre-drilled hole.

Your radiator is now wall mounted.

WARNING: Do not use your heater in a bathroom.

Electrical connection

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

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

Instruction for use

Using for the first time

On using the appliance for the first time we advise that you turn it

on to the maximum power setting for up to 8 hours. This is to

eliminate the heater’s “new odour”. During this time ensure that

the room is well ventilated.

Operation and use

Turning the appliance on

Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on.

Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to its highest setting.

The heater has 3 heat settings:

Eco/night-time (min power): Press the upper switch (the red

light on the switch will come on)

Medium power: Press the lower switch (the red light on the

switch will come on)

Maximum power: Press both switches (the red lights on both

switches will come on)

To turn the appliance off, press both switches on the 0position so

the red lights are off and unplug at the mains.

We suggest that for night-time/ background heat or on days when tem-

peratures are not particularly cold, select minimum output to optimise

savings on energy consumption.

Adjusting the thermostat

When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermo-

stat dial slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until you hear a click.

This temperature will be regulated automatically and kept constant by the

thermostat.

Frost protection function

Turn the thermostat dial fully anti-clockwise so the is showing.

Press only the lower switch on. 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

The heater should not require any maintenance. However before

attempting to clean the heater, unplug from the mains and wait for

it to cool (this should take around 30 minutes). It is sufficient to

remove external dust with a soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive

powders or solvents. If necessary, remove concentrated areas of

dirt with a vacuum cleaner.

Service and Customer Care

If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be repaired by

De'Longhi or an authorised De’Longhi service centre. Please refer

to the enclosed guarantee leaflet for service and assistance details.
