OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. For your safety
This product is both a towel warming radiator and an additional source of heating and may only
be used for these two purposes.
Make sure that the mains power supply matches the rated input: 230V AC, 50Hz.
Never leave your home while the product is working; always make sure that the switch is turned
OFF, that the red LED is off and that the thermostat is set to minimum (*).
Never allow animals or children to play with or touch the product. Attention! The panel may
become very hot while it is working (approximately 80° C = 176° F);
This product may not be used by people (children included) with reduced physical, sensorial or
mental capacities, or with inadequate experience and knowledge, unless they are under the
supervision of a person responsible for their safety or have been suitably instructed by the latter.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the product.
To prevent overheating, never cover the product inappropriately.
ATTENTION: this appliance is intended only for drying textiles washed in water;
Do not use the product in rooms saturated with explosive gas, vapours generated by solvents or
paints or flammable vapours/gas.
If the cable and/or plug are damaged, do not repair them yourself but take the product to the
technical service or a qualified repair centre and have them repaired by specialised personnel in
order to avoid any risk of damage.
Always position the product so that the plug is immediately accessible.
Never position this appliance immediately underneath a power socket.
2. Safe positioning
Only use the product in its vertical position;
This product is fitted with a double electrical insulation circuit (class II) and therefore does not
require an earth connection;
Always make observe the minimum distances from walls, furniture and/or objects, as indicated in
figure 1. Never install the product so that the distance between the floor and the lower side of the
product is less than 600 mm.
Never install the product on a surface made from wood or synthetic material.
This product is water resistant to IP24. It may therefore be used in bathrooms or other areas
subject to humidity provided it is never installed within the perimeter of bathtubs or showers
(Volume 1 of figure 2).
It must never be possible for people in the bath tub or shower to reach the adjustment knob.
3. Installation
After carefully reading section 2, proceed with installation following the sequence shown in
figures 3 to 8.
If installation becomes complicated due to the imperfect alignment of the holes, adjust the position of
the wall connectors by loosening the screw a little and moving the connector in the most suitable
direction. The groove on the washer and the possibility of turning the washer itself allow the support to
be moved in all directions.
4. Electrical connections
The product must be powered at a voltage of 230V AC 50Hz.
The product must be supplied with a cable and plug or with a cable for installation. If a product
with plug is installed in France, connect it to the mains power supply by cutting off the plug and
using a suitable connection box.
If the product is supplied with a cable for installation, connect it to the mains power supply using a
3-wire cable (Brown=Live, Blue=Neutral, Black=Pilot wire) and a connection box. If you do not
wish to use the pilot wire functions, just connect the phase and the neutral wires: the
product will work correctly even without the external programmer.
In bathrooms, kitchens or other humid areas, install the connection terminal at least 25cm off the
floor.
The electrical connection to the mains power supply must also include a 2-pole switch with a
minimum contact aperture of 3mm.
It is forbidden to connect the appliance to the earth circuit. DO NOT CONNECT THE PILOT
WIRE (BLACK) TO THE EARTH CIRCUIT.
If the product is powered through a 30mA differential switch, make sure the pilot wire is also
controlled by the differential switch.

5. Using the product
The product is fitted with a pushbutton (F); when the appliance
is powered, the red indicator LED (E) lights up and operating
status depends on the position of the thermostat (B). The red
indicator LED (E) indicates that the product is powered and not
its operating status.
The thermostat (B) maintains the required ambient temperature
by automatically turning the appliance on and off. The more the
knob is termed clockwise, the higher the temperature will be.
The highest position of the thermostat corresponds to
approximately 30° C, the bottom one (*) to about 5° C. If the
selected temperature is higher than that measured in the room,
the product turns on and the relative yellow indicator LED (A)
lights up.
Starting from the anti-freeze position " ", turn the thermostat
knob clockwise until you hear a "click" and the yellow indicator
LED (A) lights up: the product is now working.
Using the thermostat
In a room with a temperature in excess of 30° C, the thermostat
does not turn on the appliance even if it is at maximum.
Vice-versa, in a room with a very low temperature (below 5° C),
the thermostat keeps the heater constantly on, even if it is at
minimum.
To optimise use of the thermostat, proceed as follows:
-
turn the thermostat (B) to maximum and wait until a comfortable temperature is reached;
-
then turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until you hear a " click" and the appliance turns
off;
-
turn the thermostat knob (B) clockwise just a little;
-
in this position, the thermostat will maintain the selected ambient temperature.
