DeLonghi 97071 Electric Heater User Manual


 
1. LOCATION
Place heater on the floor beneath the coldest window in the room, or any other location. Your hea-
ter will reduce the effect of cold drafts.
The heater should not be placed immediately below a power outlet.
Do not use this radiator in rooms with a floor area of less than 43 square feet (4 sq. m.).
2. CONNECTION
The radiator should be connected to a properly polarized A/C 110/120 V household outlet in
perfect working conditions.
Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the heater’s wall
outlet.
3. TURNING ON TWO-SWITCH MODELS
Turn the thermostat clockwise to its maximum position. Push down both switches. The switch lights
stay on independently of the thermostat cycling. When room reaches the desired temperature, turn
the thermostat knob counter-clockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a click. This should
set your heater to maintain the desired temperature by cycling on and off as required. (For timer
instructions, see paragraph 5.)
Note: The heater normally requires about 15 minutes to reach the desired temperature.
4. USE OF THERMOSTAT
The thermostat operates according to room air temperature, rather than radiator 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 dial to the position and push the switches on. The appliance will maintain a
minimum room temperature of approximately 42°F (5°C), thus preventing freezing while conser-
ving energy. In models that come with a timer, tabs must be set in the inward position.
REMINDER
To completely shut the heater off, ON/OFF switches must be set in the OFF position.
5. 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), rotate the dial clockwise (following the direction of the arrow) until 9.30 is
aligned with the triangular pointer.
IMPORTANT:
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.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). There is only one way it can be plugged into a power supply. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try again by turning it the
other way. If it would still not go in, it is probably due to an obsolete outlet which should be
replaced. Do not temper with the plug or outlet to defeat the purpose of this safety mechanism.
