Set the thermostat control knob (see 'a' in Fig. 3 & Fig. 4) to the maximum position and allow the radiator to bring the room to your desired temperature.

When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The radiator will now maintain the chosen temperature.
