Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the heater’s wall outlet. 3. TURNING ON TWO-SWITCH MODELS Turn the thermostat clockwise to its maximum position. Push down both switches. The switch lights stay on independently of the thermostat cycling. When room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a click. This should set your heater to maintain the desired temperature by cycling on and off as required. (For timer instructions, see paragraph 5.) Note: The heater normally requires about 15 minutes to reach the desired temperature. 4. USE OF THERMOSTAT The thermostat operates according to room air temperature, rather than radiator temperature. Turning it counter-clockwise to smaller numbers would decrease the temperature; clockwise to greater numbers would increase the temperature. Antifreeze function Turn the thermostat dial to the position and push the switches on. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 42°F (5°C), thus preventing freezing while conserving energy. In models that come with a timer, tabs must be set in the inward position. REMINDER To completely shut the heater off, ON/OFF switches must be set in the OFF position. 5. UNITS WITH TIMER Clock setting The program/timer, as with all clocks, must be set to the correct time. If for example the time is 9.30 a.m. (day zone), rotate the dial clockwise (following the direction of the arrow) until 9.30 is aligned with the triangular pointer. IMPORTANT: DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. The timer is in effect an electric clock and would only work while it is plugged into a power supply. When unplugged, the timer stops and must be later re-set. Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). There is only one way it can be plugged into a power supply. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try again by turning it the other way. If it would still not go in, it is probably due to an obsolete outlet which should be replaced. Do not temper with the plug or outlet to defeat the purpose of this safety mechanism. HOW TO USE THE TIMER Please refer to the illustration below: 2 19202 12 22 324 1 2 34 5 6 7891 01 11213 18 14 1 5 1 6 1 7 1 1 2 3 3 23 4 5 67 1 1 11 2 22 0 00 2 22 1 11 2 22 2 22 2323242 4 8 9 1010 1 11 1 11 1 11 2 22 1 11 3 33 141 41 11 5 55 1 11 6 66 1 11 7 77 1 11 8 88 9 99 IMPORTANT: There are 96 tabs around the dial. Each tab represents a 1/4 hour (15 minutes) and there is a tab for each quarter hour of the day (24 hours). Your appliance can be programmed to switch itself ON and OFF at the time of your choice. With a timer you can approximate your setting 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 simply by using your fingers. When a tab is in the inward position (towards the center of the dial), the heater will be on during the corresponding 15 minute period. If a tab is in the outward position, the heater will be off during that period. Please note that when you first use your heater all the tabs are out. You must push in the tabs that correspond to the period when you want the heater to be on. (If you want to bypass the timer you must push all 96 tabs 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 maintain the proper time. A safety device A safety device switches the heater off in the event of everheating. To restart the heater, call the nearest Service center. 6. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Always unplug the heater from the power outlet 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, roll the cable around the holder and store it in a dry place (see fig. on front page). This appliance has been built to last for many years of trouble-free service. In case of malfunction or doubt, do not try to repair the heater by yourself: this might increase the risk of fire and electric shock.
