4. USING THE FUNCTIONS
In order to use all the functions of this heater to their maximum potential follow carefully the instructions below
and those shown in the table on page 5.
In addition to the normal heating settings, two exclusive functions, INSTANT HEATING SYSTEM, and POWER
MODULATION are incorporated in the RAPIDO. These are accessed by SELECTING THE IHS button in
combination with the Minimum and Medium (I and II) power switches.
INSTANT HEATING SYSTEM
By pressing the IHS button (fig 3) in conjunction with switches l and ll, an exclusive heating function is
activated which warms up your room rapidly and silently.
POWER MODULATION FUNCTION
By activating the IHS button (fig 3) and switches l and ll, the Power Regulation function is activated.
With this function, in addition to the Instant heat system, your heater will be able to select the power level
most comfortable to suit your needs.
In this mode the instant heat function is constantly active to maintain a basic comfort level - it is not regulated
by the thermostat.
The functions are all clearly illustrated in the table on p.5.
Turning the heater on
Insert the plug into the electrical socket; turn the thermostat until it stops at the maximum position (6); turn on
the heater using one or a combination of switches as indicated in the table.
(For models with timer, ensure that the switch on the timer dial (fig.4) is in position 1, manual.
NOTE: if the timer switch is at the 0 position (fig.4), the heater is off and will not operate).
Regulation of the thermostat ( P - fig 3)
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat slowly in an anticlockwise direction
until it arrives at the position where a click can be heard and not beyond this point.
The temperature selected in this way will be automatically regulated and maintained.
(NOTE : In the Power Modulation Mode the instant heat function will remain constantly on - not controlled
by the thermostat)
Anti-frost Function
Turn the thermostat to the
*
position and press the l and /or ll switches.
It is recommended to set the heater for normal heating at maximum power (see table on page 5).
Do not use the Instant Heat System when using the anti-frost function.
When set the in this way, the appliance will switch on automatically only if the room temperature falls below
5°C, thereby preventing freezing at minimum energy consumption.
When using the heater at first or infrequently , you may experience a slight 'crackling' noise. This is perfectly
normal and is due to the oil expanding within the radiator.
