Frequently Asked Questions - RADIANT-1500 Soler & Palau

How to install the RADIANT-1500 on the wall?

Fix the supplied wall bracket using dowels and screws suitable for the wall material. Hang the device and ensure it is stable. Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm from flammable objects.

Can I use this heater in a bathroom?

Yes, the RADIANT-1500 has an IP24 protection rating, making it suitable for wet rooms provided safety volumes are respected (outside zones 0, 1, and 2).

How to clean the heater?

Unplug the device and let it cool down. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Never use water or cleaning products to avoid any electrical risk.

What is the power consumption of the RADIANT-1500?

The maximum consumption is 1500 W. In half-power mode (750 W), it is halved. The hourly cost depends on the current electricity rate.

What should I do if the device turns off by itself?

Check that the device is not overheating (grille obstruction) or tipped over. It has a tip-over safety and automatic shut-off in case of overheating. Restart after cooling down.

Does the heater emit an odor during first use?

Yes, it is normal for a slight odor to occur the first few times due to heating of new components. Ventilate the room and the odor will disappear after a few hours of use.

How to adjust the thermostat?

Turn the thermostat knob to select the desired temperature. The heater maintains the room at that temperature by turning on and off automatically.

Can the RADIANT-1500 be used with an extension cord?

Not recommended. Use a direct wall outlet. If necessary, an extension cord with a minimum cross-section of 3G1.5 mm² may be used, but ensure it is fully unwound.

What are the available power levels?

Two levels: position I = 750 W (half power), position II = 1500 W (full power). A switch allows selection.

Where to find spare parts or repair service?

Spare parts are available on the official Soler & Palau website or from authorized dealers. For repairs, contact an authorized after-sales service.

• In bathrooms never install or use the equipment within zones 0 or 1 shown in figure 4.
• The regulating knobs must never be accessible to people in a bath or shower.
• The product must be free to take air in and expel it.

• For portable use:

• Assemble the pedestal by screwing the rod (figure 1/D) to the base (figure 1/C) with the 2 countersunk screws supplied (fig 5).

In wet spaces like bathrooms or kitchens, the connection terminal must be installed at least 25 cm above the floor. The electrical connection to the power supply must also be fitted with a two-pole switch with a minimum gap between the contacts that allows complete disconnection according to excess voltage III category conditions.

5. CABLE WINDER

• When the product is not in use the cable can be coiled as shown in figure 12.
• Remember that when using the product the cable must be completely uncoiled.

6. USING THE EQUIPMENT

6.1 Power and thermostat selector (figure 13)

• This model has 2 knobs, one for adjusting the operating power and one for the thermostat.
• The power regulator can be used to select 3 different operating modes for the product:

O = OFF

I = 7 5 0 W OPERATION

II = 1 5 0 0 W OPERATION

• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise until you hear a “click”. The product starts working at the power selected.
• The thermostat maintains the ambient temperature required by switching the equipment on and off automatically. The more the thermostat knob is turned clockwise to a position with a higher number, the higher the temperature ensured. The maximum thermostat position corresponds to about 35^irc C, while the minimum (*) is about 5^irc C.
• WARNING! When the switch knob is at the maximum position (pos. II) do not turn it further clockwise.
• WARNING! When the thermostat knob is at the maximum position (pos. MAX) do not turn it further clockwise.
• When the product is working, slight undulations may occur on the surface of the heating element inside the product. This is completely normal and does not affect correct functioning of the equipment or its reliability over time.

6.2 Using the thermostat

• In a room in which the temperature exceeds 35^irc C it is normal that, even when turned to maximum, the product does not switch on.
• On the contrary, in a room in which the temperature is too low (below 5^irc C) it is normal that, even when turned to minimum, the thermostat will keep the equipment switched on all the time.

• To make the best thermostat setting, we recommend the following:

• Put the thermostat on maximum and allow the equipment to run until a comfortable temperature is reached.

• Then turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise until you hear a “click”, and the equipment switches off.
• Then turn the thermostat knob clockwise again (only a little).
• In this position the thermostat will maintain the ambient temperature you have chosen.

- When the product is working and heating the space, the relevant signal LED switched on.

7. SAFETY IN CASE OF ABNORMAL OPERATION

• If the product overheats the protection system will automatically deactivate the heating elements and switch off the equipment.
• If this happens:

- Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to check that the thermostat has not simply switched off the equipment because a high ambient temperature has been reached.

- If the product does not start working normally again:

• Switch off the equipment
• Remove whatever is causing the overheating (e.g. obstructions at the air intake or air outlet grilles).
• Allow the product to cool for 15 – 20 minutes.
• Switch the product on again.

8. MAINTENANCE

• This product does not require specific maintenance.
• Every six months we suggest removing any dust that has accumulated on the coil using a vacuum cleaner.
• If you need any assistance, contact an authorised assistance centre.
• If you have to change the power supply cable, remember that you have to use an HAR 2 x 1 mm2 H05RR-F or H05RN-F model cable.
