DeLonghi TRD40615T-6A Instructions For Use Manual page 6

Location
Place appliance on the floor beneath the coldest window
in the room, or any other location. Your appliance will re-
duce the effect of cold drafts. The appliance should not be
placed immediately below a power outlet. Do not use this
appliance in rooms with a floor area of less than 43 square
feet (4 sq. m.).
Connection
The appliance should be connected to a properly polarized
household outlet in perfect working condition. Keep loose
clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away
from the appliance's wall outlet.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one prong wider than the
others). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to modify the plug to
bypass this safety feature.
Turning on
Insert the plug into an electrical outlet, turn the thermostat
knob clockwise to maximum and turn the unit on as follows
using the power selector:
- Turn the power selector to position MIN to select
minimum output (the min light will be on).
- Turn the power selector to position MED to select
medium output (the min/med light will be on).
- Turn the power selector to position MAX to select
maximum output (the lights will be on).
Adjusting the thermostat
When the room has reached the desired temperature,
turn the thermostat knob slowly in an counter-clockwise
direction until you hear a "click" and not beyond it.
The thermostat will then adjust the set temperature
automatically and keep it constant. If your unit is a three-
output version, in intermediate seasons or on days when
temperatures are not particularly cold, select minimum
output to optimize savings and consumption.
Use of thermostat
The thermostat operates according to room air temperature,
rather than appliance 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 knob to the
selector to position MAX. The appliance will maintain a
minimum room temperature of approximately 41°F (5°C),
this preventing freezing while conserving energy. In models
that come with a timer, tabs must be set in the inward
position.
Please note: To completely shut the appliance off, turn
the power selector to the "0" position and then unplug the
appliance from the outlet.
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),
turn the knob clockwise (following the direction of the arrow)
until 9:30 is aligned with the triangular pointer.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN CLOCK KNOB COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE.
The timer is like an electric clock, and will only work when
plugged into a power supply. When unplugged, the timer
stops and must be later re-set.
How to use the timer
To program heating, proceed as follows:
- Set the periods of time when you want the appliance
to work by pushing the teeth (1) inward. Each tooth
(1) corresponds to a period of 15 minutes. This will
leave visible sectors which correspond to the periods
of operation (2). When set, the appliance will operate
automatically each day during the times programmed
(important: the appliance must always be plugged into
