ELECTRONIC CHARACTERISTICS 120V 1200W

HOW TO USE

BE CAREFUL
Operate the heater in upright position only. Any other position could create hazardous situations!

POWER ECONOMIZER

For more economical use, the Min. or Med. power switches may be used individually, after unit has reached the operating temperature.

With pilot lights ON, the heater is ON!

LOCATION

Place the heater on the floor beneath the coldest window in the room or any desired location. Your heater will minimize the effect of cold drafts. The heater must not be located immediately below an outlet. Do not use this heater in rooms having a surface area less than 45 sq. ft (4 m²).

CONNECTION

The radiator must be connected to a properly polarized A/C 120 V household outlet in perfect working conditions.

Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall outlet where the heater plug is fitted in.

GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTION SAFETY DEVICE (GFI PLUG)

This device provides protection against electric shock due to ground fault currents by automatically shutting off the power. To test the operation of the GFI plug switch the heater ON at either the 1 or 2 setting. Press the TEST button on the GFI plug device attached to the plug end of the power cord. The heater and fan should stop operating and the Power Light should turn off. Press the RESET button on the GFI plug device to resume normal operation of the heater. This device should not be used as on ON/OFF operation switch.

ALTHOUGH THIS DEVICE IS PROVIDED WITH PROTECTION WHICH REDUCES THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NEVER BE USED CARELESSLY NEAR WATER."

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

USE OF THERMOSTAT

Turn thermostat clockwise to the maximum position. Switch on both switches. The lights on the switches remain on independently from of the cycling of the thermostat. When the room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a "click". This will automatically set your unit to cycle on and off at that desired heat setting. (For timer instructions, see point 5).

Frost prevention mode (anti-freeze setting)
Turn the thermostat dial to the position and press the switches. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C (41 F) thus preventing freezing conditions with a minimum energy consumption.

REMINDER
To completely shut unit off, ON/OFF switches must be in OFF position.

HOW TO USE THE 24 PROGRAMMABLE CLOCK TIMER

Please refer to the illustration below:
HOW TO USE THE 24 PROGRAMMABLE CLOCK TIMER

There are 96 notches around the dial. Each notch represents a 1/4 hour (15 minutes). Your appliance can be programmed to switch itself ON and OFF at the time you want. With the timer you can approximate your settings to within 15 minutes and program up to 48 cycles (1 cycle = 1 "ON" + 1 "OFF") over a period of 24 hours (12 hours a.m.+12 hours p.m.).

The notches can be pushed inwards or pulled outwards by merely using your finger tips. When the notch is in the inward position (towards the center of the dial), the heater will operate during that 15 minute period. If the notch is in the outward position, the heater will not operate during this period. If you want to bypass the timer, all notches must be pushed inward.

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), rotate the dial clockwise (following the direction of the arrow) until 9.30 is aligned with the triangular pointer.

DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

The timer is in effect an electric clock and would only work while it is plugged into a power supply. When unplugged, the timer stops and must be later re-set.

Timer operation

Plug in the heater.
Turn timer dial clockwise to set clock with the current time of day (see above "Clock setting").
Push notches inwards for the period you want the heater to operate. For example, in the shown illustration, the heater will operate from 14.00 (2 p.m.) to 16.30 (4.30 p.m.) and from 4.45 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Once you have set the notches for the desired heating periods, your heater will cycle on and off according to these settings.
As long as you keep the heater plugged in, the timer will continue to keep proper time

never for any reason cover the appliance during operation as this could lead to dangerous overheating.

warning ATTENTION: in order to avoid any danger caused by an accidental resetting of the safety system, this appliance must not be powered through an external timer. The appliance is fitted with a safety device which will switch off it in case of accidental overheating. To reset, contact an authorized service center.

MAINTENANCE

Always remove the plug from the power outlet and allow the radiator to cool. Wipe radiator with a soft damp cloth. Do not use detergents and abrasives.

Should the radiator not be in for a long period of time, wrap the cable round the holder and store it in a dry place. This appliance has been built to give many years of trouble free service.

In case of malfunction or doubt, do not try to repair the heater yourself: it may cause the risk of fire, hazard or electric shock. Call nearest Service Center (visit www.delonghi.com for a list of service centers near you (U.S. Only).

Do not insert or allow any foreign object to enter the air intakes or the exhaust as this may causean electric shock, the risk of fire, or damage to the heater.
To prevent the risk of fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on softsurfaces, like a bed, where air openings may become blocked.
A heater has hot or arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
To prevent overload and blown fuses, be sure that no other appliance is plugged into the sameoutlet or into another outlet wired into the same circuit.
It is normal for the heater's plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. A plug or cord which becomes hot to the touch or becomes distorted in shape may be the result of a worn electrical outlet. Worn outlets should be replaced prior to further use of the heater. Plugging heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the power cord or fire.
Do not use an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts, and has to be used only for supplying power to this heater.
Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into an appropriate outlet. Please remember that outlets alsodeteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically if signs of overheating or deformations are present on the plug. If the oulet is deteriorated or damaged, do not use it and CALL your electrician.
Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable have been damaged in any way duringtransportation.
Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between oneelement of the appliance and another.

Make sure that the room in which the appliance is located is well ventilated during this operation. It is normal for the appliance to emit small crackling sounds when you turn it on for the first time.

to prevent electric shock match wide blade of plug to wide slot, then fully insert.
Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating and the risk offire.
