Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall outlet where the heater plug is fitted in. 3. GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTION SAFETY DEVICE (GFI PLUG) This device provides protection against electric shock due to ground fault currents by automatically shutting off the power. To test the operation of the GFI plug switch the heater ON at either the 1 or 2 setting. Press the TEST button on the GFI plug device attached to the plug end of the line cord. The heater and fan should stop operating and the Power Light should turn off. Press the RESET button on the GFI plug device to resume normal operation of the heater. This device should not be used as on ON/OFF operation switch. “CAUTION: ALTHOUGH THIS DEVICE IS PROVIDED WITH PROTECTION WHICH REDUCES THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NEVER BE USED CARELESSLY NEAR WATER.” 4. SWITCHING ON TWO-SWITCH MODELS Turn thermostat clockwise to the maximum position. Switch on both switches. The lights on the switches remain on independently from of the cycling of the thermostat. When the room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob clockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a “click”. This will automatically set your unit to cycle on and off at that desired heat setting. (For timer instructions, see point 5) Note: It will normally require approx.15 minutes to reach operating temperature. 3 GB/E 4-06-2004 15:33 Pagina 4 5. USE OF THERMOSTAT The thermostat operates on the room air temperature and not on the radiator temperature. Counter clockwise direction, towards lower numbers will set lower temperatures. Clockwise direction, towards higher numbers will set higher temperatures. Antifreeze function Turn the thermostat dial to the position and press the switches. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C thus preventing freezing, with a minimum energy consumption. REMINDER To completely shut unit off, ON/OFF switches must be in OFF position. 6.HOW TO USE THE TIMER Please refer to the illustration below: Triangular pointer Tab 112233 44 55 66 77 88 99 1010 11111212131314141515 1616 1717 1818 1919 2020 2121 2222 23232424 Operating time IMPORTANT: There are 96 tabs around the dial. Each tab represents a 1/4 hour (15 minutes) and there is a tab for every quarter hour of the 24 hour day. Your appliance can be programmed to switch itself ON and OFF at the time you want. With the timer you can approximate your settings to within 15 minutes and program up to 48 cycles (1 cycle = 1 “ON” + 1 “OFF”) over a period of 24 hours (12 hours a.m.+12 hours p.m.). The tabs can be pushed inwards or pulled outwards by merely using your finger tips. When the tab is in the inward position (towards the center of the dial), the heater will operate during that 15 minute period. If the tab is in the outward position, the heater will not operate during this period. If you want to bypass the timer, all tabs must be pushed inward. Timer operation a). Plug in the heater. b). Turn timer dial clockwise to set clock with the current time of day (see CLOCK SETTING). c). Push tabs inwards for the period you want the heater to operate. For example, in the shown illustration, the heater will operate from 14.00 (2 p.m.) to 16.30 (4.30 p.m.) and from 4.45 a.m. to 5 a.m. d). Push switch(-es) in. e). Once you have set the tabs for the desired heating periods, your heater will cycle on and off according to these settings. f ). As long as you keep the heater plugged in, the timer will continue to keep proper time. 4 GB/E 4-06-2004 15:33 Pagina 5 7. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Always remove the plug from the power socket and allow the radiator to cool. Wipe radiator with a soft damp cloth. Do not use detergents and abrasives. Should the radiator not be in use over a certain length of time, wrap the cable round the holder and store it in a dry place. This appliance has been built to give many years of trouble free service. In case of malfunction or doubt, do not try to repair the heater by yourself: it may results in fire hazard or electric shock. Call nearest Service Center (see attached list of Service Centers). 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. 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. ...
