[. . . ] 2 Connecting your appliance The technical specifications of your radiator are shown on the nameplate at the bottom of the appliance. When connecting the appliance to the mains, you must ensure that the following requirements are met: - the voltage marked on the nameplate - standard colour coding (brown: live; blue or grey: neutral; black: Pilot Wire. NOTE Your appliance is equipped with a pilot wire for connection to a Pilot Wire programming base unit (not supplied with the appliance). The flexible cable supplied with the appliance is designed to be connected to the mains via a junction box that must be placed behind the appliance, with no need for a plug. [. . . ] If this setpoint temperature is higher than the room temperature measured by your appliance, your radiator will start to heat. Radiator heating indicator Press the button repeatedly until the required operating mode is selected. 3 Operating your appliance with a Pilot Wire programming base unit (not supplied) – Auto mode The programming base unit sends operating mode commands (No Heat, Frost Protection, Eco, Comfort) to your radiator via the Pilot Wire in your wiring system. It can also switch your radiator to one of two supplementary modes (Comfort -1°C and Comfort -2°C). First set your required Comfort mode setpoint temperature using the buttons. And Then consult the instructions supplied with your Pilot Wire unit for information on operating your radiator via Pilot Wire. 4 “Open window” detection Your radiator can detect a significant fall in temperature such as that produced by leaving a window open for a prolonged period in winter. When this happens, the “open window detection” LED illuminates. When the temperature in your room stabilises, the radiator resumes normal operation and the LED goes out. When it is activated, unintentional mode or setpoint temperature changes are not possible. To activate this function, press the and buttons together for 3 seconds then release when the temperature display flashes. If any of the buttons are touched, the setpoint temperature display will flash three times to indicate that they are locked. NOTE This function will not block mode change commands from a Pilot Wire unit. 25 4 Advice and recommendations GETTING TO KNOW AND GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RADIATOR This electrical appliance with circulating fluid is delivered ready to use. It is plugged and filled with a high-performance thermal mineral oil before leaving the factory. This fluid was specially designed for this use and requires no special maintenance. As soon as the appliance is switched on, you will notice certain differences compared to a standard electric heating system: - the electric heating element heats the fluid, which gradually and naturally starts circulating in your appliance, - the properties of the fluid are such that it takes at least ten minutes for the radiator to reach its optimum surface temperature, depending on the model and the room temperature when the appliance is switched on, - this principle also ensures consistent and sustained heating even when the element is no longer powered. EN TAKING CARE OF YOUR RADIATOR Before carrying out any maintenance operation on your appliance, ensure that it is switched off. High-quality materials and surface treatment protect your radiator against corrosion and impacts. To maximise the service life of your appliance, we recommend that you do not use abrasive or corrosive materials to clean it. [. . . ] AFTER-SALES SERVICE If your appliance stops working or you require spare parts, contact your installer or dealer. Prior to making contact and to ensure your problem is dealt with quickly and effectively, please make a note of: - the details shown on the appliance’s nameplate, - the sales reference for your appliance shown on your dated purchase invoice. This heating appliance is filled with a precise quantity of special oil. Any repair work requiring the oil tank to be opened should only be carried out by the manufacturer or their after-sales service department, which should also be contacted in the event of an oil leak.
