If your radiator is equipped with a polythene tape, which serves as carry handle, remove it prior to connecting the appliance to an outlet. 3. This heater becomes very hot when operating. To avoid burns, do not touch its hot surfaces with your bare skin. Use the heaters handle when moving it. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from the heaters front and top, and also well away from its sides and rear. 4. Extreme caution should be taken when leaving an operating heater unattended near children or handicapped persons. 5. Always unplug the heater when it is not in use. 6. Do not operate your heater when its cord or plug has been damaged or after it has malfunctioned, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If you notice any leakage of oil, switch it off immediately and contact a service center as indicated in these instructions. Return the heater to an authorized service facility for inspection, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair. 7. Your heater should not be operated outdoors. 8. Your heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate the heater where it might fall into a bathtub or other water containers. 9.

You should replace such outlets prior to further use of the heater. Continuous use of defective outlets might cause cord overheating and fire. 18. The use of extension cords is not recommended, as they are likely to overheat and increase the risk of fire. However, where necessary, you may use a No. AWG or larger cord rated for 1875 watts or more; the extension cord should not be shared by any other appliance. 19. Make sure the heater is firmly plugged into the wall outlet. Please note that the quality of wall outlets may deteriorate over time: Check the electric plug periodically for signs of overheating or deformation, and in such cases, stop using that outlet and have it fixed. 20. Check that neither the heater nor the power cable has been damaged in any way during transportation. 21. Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between heating elements. If necessary, remove such pieces using a vacuum cleaner. 22.When switching the heater on for the first time, allow it to run at full power for about two hours to get rid of a possibly unpleasant smell.

HOW TO USE YOUR HEATER

FITTING THE WHEELS Remove the feet with the bracket wheels from the polystyrene packing. Turn the radiator upside-down and rest on the polystyrene. Fit the wheels to the spindles on the feet and push firmly until they click into position. Pull each wheel to check that it is correctly inserted. The feet with the casters must be fitted with two arc-shaped brackets only between the 1st and 2nd element and the penultimate (see fig. 1 to 3 inclusive).

MODELS WITH EASY WHEELSYSTEM Turn the radiator upside-down on a rug or a soft surface in order to prevent damaging the paint finish. Fully unfold the castors by turning them outwards (Fig. 4). Turn the radiator back to its upright position.

fig. 4 1. LOCATION

Place heater on floor beneath coldest window in the room or any desired location. Your heater will minimize the effect of cold drafts. The heater must not be located immediately below a socket-outlet. 2 Do not use this radiator in rooms having a surface area less than 4 m (43 sq. ft.).

2. CONNECTION

The radiator must be connected to a properly polarized A/C 110/120 V household outlet in perfect working conditions. Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall outlet where the heater plug is fitted in.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
