Cleaning and maintenance

Your oil filled raditor is absolutely free from maintenance, fully relia- ble and will give many years of trouble free service. Wipe radiator with soft damp cloth; do not use detergents or abrasives.

If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any built-up dirt.

Important notes

-Do not use your radiator close to bath, wash-basin, shower and swimming pool.

-Do not use your radiator to dry laundry.

-Never place the power cable on top of the radiator while it is hot.

-Only use the radiator in an upright position.

-The heater must be positioned at least 50 cm from furniture or other objects.

-If the power cable has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the technical service centre or by a qualified per- son so as to avoid all risks.

-In order to eliminate the radiator’s “new” smell, set it to maximum power for at least 8 hours when used for the first time. During this operation, the room in which the radiator is located must be venti- lated.

-It is perfectly normal for the radiator to make “creacking” sounds when used for the first time. (or in the case of unfrequent use).

-The radiator must not be located immediately below a fixed socket-outlet.

-The body of this radiator is filled with a precise quantity of special oil, so that repairs requiring the opening of the oil body must only be made by the service agent. Any oil leakage must be reported to the service agent.

-Do not use this appliance in rooms having a floor area of less than 4m2 as this can lead to overheating.

-If the appliance is scrapped, provisions on the disposal of oil must be respected.

-The use of an extension lead is not recommended, as overheating of the extension lead may occur during the operation of the radiator.

-As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common sense should be applied when operating your appliance, particularly in the vicinity of young children.

The appliance is fitted with a safety device which will switch off it in case of accidental overheating. To reset, disconnect the plug from the power for 30 minutes, remove the cause of overheating then plug the appliance in again.

ATTENTION: in order to avoid any danger caused by an accidental resetting of the safety system, this appliance must not be powered through an external timer.

IMPORTANT: Do not cover the radiator during ope- ration as this could lead to dangerous overheating,
