OPERATION AND USE

Heating and setting the thermostat

• Turn the function selector knob to one of the 3 different heating positions available (Fig. 5).
• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to its maximum position.
• On models fitted with electronic timer, slide the starter indicator (fig.5) to position "I"; the indicator lamp will come on.

When the room has reached the temperature desired, set the thermostat by slowly turning the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until you hear the click which switches off the heater and then stop turning the knob immediately.

The temperature set in this way will be automatically maintained at a constant level by the thermostat.
