to electric mains only if the rotating power regulator is in OFF position 

(switched off), i.e. the knob is rotated against the stop counterclockwise.

stop counterclockwise. Then you can connect the unit to electric mains.
4. Set the unit’s power regulator (knob) to position I, II or III (corresponds to 

low, normal and maximum power of unit’s operation). Remember that the 

higher the power you choose, the faster the unit heats the air. But at a low 

power you save electric power and reduce the load on your electric mains.
5. After you chose the desired operating power in accordance with 

your individual preferences, you have to choose the desired heating 

temperature. Turning the thermostat knob clockwise (from MIN position 

towards MAX position), you thus adjust the temperature mode you need. 

Since the moment you choose the temperature mode (provided one or 

another power mode is activated  see item 4) the oil filled radiator will start 

to operate.
6. During the first minutes of radiator’s operation you may fell a slight smell 

of burning. It may be caused by dust on the unit; it will soon disappear.

unit, following rules, set forth in this manual and observing «Important 

precautions».
7. When the room temperature will reach the desired level, you should 

slowly turn the temperature regulator’s knob counterclockwise (towards 

MIN). You will hear a click of the thermostat turning off, and the light on the 

control panel will go out. Now the room temperature will be maintained at 

the chosen level.
8. If you need to reduce the room temperature, turn the thermostat knob 

counterclockwise. Also you can lower the unit’s operating power (I or II).
9. If you need to raise the room temperature, turn the thermostat knob 

clockwise (maximum possible position  MAX indicator). Also you can raise 

the unit’s operating power (II or III).

IMPORTANT! 

For the unit to operate normally, the level of voltage in 

electric mains must be sufficient in strict compliance 

with the technical parameters indicated on the unit.

the surface of heating sections. Dust and dirt on the unit’s surface have 

a negative effect on the unit’s operational efficiency, in some cases a 

smell of burning dust can cause a headache and nausea, as well as other 

negative health effects. Also a dirty unit cannot operate 100% effectively, 

temperature parameters of the room heating can be disrupted.
2. Prior to preventive cleaning of the unit, you must switch off the unit, 

unplug it from electric mains (see «Important precautions») and let the unit 

cool down.
3. Clean the unit’s sections and other surfaces with a soft, slightly damp 

duster/cloth. The cloth must not leave fluff on the unit’s surface.
4. It is not recommended to use detergents, including materials containing 

abrasive elements.
