Heating element unit heats the radiator that it is installed in and
precisely controls its temperature at the same time. The device has
5-step temperature regulation (buttons:

the device on and off and to deactivate the TIMER Mode (if active).
Built in temperature sensor protects the user from getting burnt by
limiting the maximum operating temperature to 60°C. Additionally,
a thermal fuse, built into the heating rod, protects your radiator from
critical overheating (the fuse can get damaged in temperatures high-
er than 82°C — this is especially important for heating elements in-
stalled in dual fuel radiators, connected to central heating system).

Construction of the heating element unit as well as physical char-
acteristics of the heating agent cause that the bottom pipes (espe-
and ) within temper- cially the two at the very bottom of the radiator) may have a lower
button is used to turn temperature than the remaining parts of the radiator — this is a nor-
mal phenomenon.
Turning the device on does not mean that it uses the same maxi-
mum power for the whole time it is on. On turning the device on, it
operates with the nominal power for a short period of time in order
to heat up the radiator to the set temperature. After that, it turns
itself on and off periodically, using only as much energy as it is
required to maintain the set temperature of the radiator for cur-
rent external conditions.
