instructions on the use and maintenance of the radiator.

We also advise you to keep the instructions and the invoice carefully so that you can consult them

if necessary.

THE PACKAGING INCLUDES:

A dry inertia aluminium radiator with digital programmable thermostat, a mounting bracket, an instructions

manual.

PRESENTATION

The radiator consists of a EN AB 46100 aluminium alloy body.The inner heating element is an electric resistance

embedded in a ceramic body.

A safety limiter limits the maximum temperature that the radiator can reach even in case of failure.

The radiator can be programmed on a daily and weekly basis.

NOTE: all radiators are provided with an identification label to ensure traceability. This label certifies

compliance with the applicable EU directives and electrical standards.

The installation must be carried out in accordance with the standards and instructions in this manual.

1. WARNINGS

REMINDERS: You will find a tag on the radiator with the following symbol. The meaning of this

symbol is as follows:

In order to avoid any possible overheat, DO NOT COVER THE RADIATOR.

Under no circumstances should you:

- cover the radiator, even partially;

- place the radiator close to or in direct contact with curtains, furniture, etc.;

Under no circumstances should you install the radiator:

- in a niche;

- at less than 10 cm of the room's angles;

- under an electrical socket;

- on a shelf.

The radiator must be installed to the wall with the provided mounting bracket.

Any work on the appliance must be carried out by authorised professionals.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service department or similarly

qualified persons to avoid danger.

Children under 3 years of age should be kept away if they are not continuously supervised.

Children between the ages of 3 and 8 can only switch on/off the device, provided the device has been placed

or installed according to the manual and that said children are supervised or have been instructed on

the usage of the device, taking all precautions needed. It is important to ensure that they understand the

dangers involved. Children between the ages of 3 and 8 cannot plug, adjust or clean the device or service

the device.

WARNING - Parts of this product can become very hot and burn. Particular attention should be paid if

children and vulnerable people are present.

This device may be used by children of at least 8 years of age and by persons with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lacking experience or knowledge, provided they

are supervised or if they have been given instructions on the safe use of the appliance and

the risks involved are understood. Children must not play with the device. The cleaning and

maintenance must not be done by unsupervised children.

- All packaging material must be kept out of reach of small children. Do not let children play

with the packaging material, bags, boxes, etc.

- Do not pull or sit on the radiator and do not bend over or put any weight on it. Doing so may

damage the radiator or detach it from the wall or fasteners, which could result in serious

injury. To avoid such injuries, periodically verify that the radiator is well attached to the wall.

- Never attempt to alter or modify this product, paint it or apply stickers. This will void the

warranty and may cause product malfunction or injury.

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT

• When installing or servicing, verify that the radiator is switched oﬀ.

• Keep the radiator switched oﬀ until installation of the housing is done and closed.

• After the installation or the servicing operation, verify the housing is well ﬁxed to the wall.

The electronic radiator can only be plugged to a 230 Vac grid. Respect the colours:

Warning:

If the black “pilot wire” cable is not used, safety standards require it to be insulated and not to be

connected to the ground.

The pilot wire is not used with a carrier current programming unit and must then be insulated.

A bipolar power cut-out switch is mandatory. Contacts must be separated by at least 3 mm.

It is mandatory for all circuits supplying the electrical devices to be protected by a high sensitivity differential

protection device. The power cable must be connected to the grid through a junction box placed at least 25

cm from the floor, without the use of a plug. Avoid any metallic object to penetrate inside the box.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service department or similarly

qualified persons to avoid danger.

3.1 SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION IN THE BATHROOM

The installation must comply with the applicable standards and installation regulations.

The radiator is made to comply with class II with an IP24 electrical protection.

Within the bathroom, the radiator can be installed in the zones 3 and 2 (see image) provided the control

devices cannot be touched by the individual using the shower or the bathtub.

It must not the plugged to the earth ground.

In a shower room, be sure to protect the power line with a 30 mA high sensitivity diﬀerential

device.

In accordance with regulation, a phase-neutral circuit breaker must be installed with a contact distance

of at least 3 mm.

4. INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE

For optimum thermal efficiency and room comfort, we recommend installing the

radiator, if possible, under a window or near an area of high heat loss in the room to be

heated.

The radiator must be placed with the control unit at the right.The junction box or socket

must never be on or behind the radiator.

Do not install the radiator in a niche or under an electrical socket.

Curtains, furniture or other objects that can impede a correct heat distribution must be

placed at a minimum distance of 50 cm from the front of the radiator.

Respect a minimum distance of 12 cm between the upper limit of the radiator and the

ground.

Respect a minimum distance of 50 cm between the upper limit of the radiator and any

possible shelf over the radiator.

4.1. WALL MOUNTING OF THE RADIATOR

The radiator must be fixed to the wall using the fixing brackets supplied with the appliance.

WARNING: the screws and dowels are not provided with the packaging, so please use screws and dowels that

are suitable for the type of wall material the radiator is to be fixed to. The dowel must have a 10 mm diameter,

the screw must have a 60 mm length, a 7,5 mm diameter and an hexagonal head.

Materials needed for the installation of the radiator.

Proceed as follows for the installation:

Block the radiator and cover the brackets with the special plastic cover (Fig. 6/7):

Point 6 of the procedure cannot be completed until the lower screw is tightened so that the

radiator is ﬁrmly ﬁxed to the wall and cannot be moved.

5. USE

IMPORTANT: an abnormal smell may occur when the radiator is first switched on. This odour diminishes and

tends to disappear after a few hours of use. The room should be well ventilated after the first switching on of

the radiator.

When the device is first switched on, we advise you not to use it at full power, but to select a temperature close

to that of the room to be heated, e.g. select a temperature of 21° C if the room is at 18°C.
