BLACK WIRE – POWER
GREEN WIRE – GROUND
2.
Set the mode selection control knob to the comfort posi-
tion "COMF".
3.
Set the thermostat control knob to the maximum position.
4.
Once the desired ambient temperature is reached, for
example, when the thermometer indicates 20°C (68°F),
slowly turn back the thermostat control knob until the
heating indicator light goes off. Once set, the thermostat
will automatically maintain this temperature in the room
by switching the power supply to the unit on and off as
required.
operation
1.
This unit is supplied with a manual reset temperature
limit cutout, which will switch-off the heater should it over-
heat for any reason.
2.
If the cutout operates, it is the result of abnormal over-
heating. The source of the overheating must be found
and corrected.
3.
After the source of the problem is found and corrected,
the reset button can be pushed-in to re-energize the
convector.
the reset button is located on the back of the convector
casing, along the top edge.
Economic operation
1.
Do not overheat your home by degrees above 20°C
(68°F) as your power consumption could increase by
10%.
2.
Cut off the power supply to your heating units ("STOP"
position) when you vent your rooms for any lengthy
period of time.
3.
Whenever your don't use a room (guest room) or if you
don't use your home for any extended period of time (va-
cation), set your heating units to the "FREEZE GUARD"
position.
!
notE: To ensure regular operation of all the heating
units in a single room, the thermostats must be set to the
same temperature.
CautIon: Avoid operating a few heating units continu-
ously to heat your entire home as this can result in disorders;
unbalanced heating, reduced comfort, excess consumption
and micro-condensation.
!
notE: Switch off the heating units in rooms where a
chimney is being used to avoid wasted energy and to prevent
circulating soot and ashes through the convector and into the
room.
