ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Before plugging in the heater, check that the voltage of your domestic supply corresponds to the voltage
(V) indicated on the appliance.
- Check that the electrical socket has a rating of 10/16 Amps.
- THIS APPLIANCE COMPLIES WITH EEC DIRECTIVE 89/336, RELATING TO ELECTRO-MAGNETIC COMPA-
TIBILITY.
INSTALLATION
The appliance is available in a portable and a fixed version.
In order to attach the appliance to the wall, use two dowels and two screws which are to be inserted in the
holes provided on the rear of the appliance. Lock the appliance then onto the wall by means of a screw positio-
ned at the bottom of the appliance. When positioning the appliance, pay attention to the minimum distances
indicated in fig. 1.
If the appliance is installed in a bathroom, it absolutely must be located on the wall outside of the “critical
zones” as illustrated in fig. 2.
OPERATION
MODELS WITHOUT TIMER
- Summer use (ventilation only): turn the knob clockwise to the position.
- Heating at low power: turn the knob to the 1 position. The pilot lamp switches on.
- Heating at maximum power: turn the knob to the 2 position. The pilot lamp switches on.
- Setting the thermostat: when the room temperature has reached the desired level, slowly turn the ther-
mostat dial counter-clockwise until the pilot light goes out (or until you hear a ‘click’ on models without pilot
light) but no further. The thermostat will now automatically maintain the temperature at the desired level.
- Switching the heater off: turn the knob fully counter-clockwise to the “O” position.
MODELS WITH 24 HOUR PROGRAM UNIT (TIMER)
In order to program the heating function, proceed in the following manner:
- Look at your watch. If it, for example, indicates that the time is 6 PM (18 hours), then turn the numbered
disk of the program unit clockwise until the number 18 lines up with the reference marker
● on the face
of the timer.
- Set the time periods in which the appliance is to function, pulling out the pins of the timer. At this point you
will see the sectors which correspond to the functioning times.
- Once the appliance is set in this manner, it will function automatically every day during the programmed
periods. Important: In order to maintain the programming, it is necessary to keep the electric plug inserted
in the electric socket.
- In order to change the programming, put the pins back into their original positions and set the functioning
periods from scratch.
- Each pin corresponds to a 30 minute period.
- Bypassing the program: In order that the appliance functions outside of the programmed periods, pull
out all of the timer’s pins.
- Anti-freezing feature: With the knob of the thermostat in position , the appliance maintains the
room at a temperature of about 5°C, thus preventing freezing with a minimal expenditure of energy. With
the models equipped with a timer, the pins must be pulled out.
