Frequently Asked Questions - NC-2500 FAGOR

How to mount the feet and casters of the FAGOR NC-2500 radiator?

For the NC series: take the feet and casters out of the packaging, insert the casters into the foot axis until they click, then mount the feet between the outer elements with the threaded screw and its wing nut. For the RA series: turn the radiator over on a mat, insert the foot fins into the buttonholes, screw in the foot, then snap the casters on. Check the attachment by pulling on the casters.

How to adjust the thermostat and use the anti-freeze function?

Turn the thermostat to the maximum position (mark maximum) to turn on. For anti-freeze, set the thermostat to position * (often a snowflake) and press the switches. The device will maintain a temperature of about 5 °C to prevent freezing.

How to program the 24-hour timer?

Look at the current time. Turn the numbered disc of the timer until the number corresponding to the hour is aligned with the mark ▲. Push the small teeth towards the center for each 15-minute period you want the device to operate. The visible sectors correspond to the scheduled times. The device must remain plugged in continuously.

What to do if a burning or new smell occurs during first use?

It is normal. Run the device at maximum power for at least two hours with the room well ventilated. This smell will disappear after a few uses.

How to clean the NC-2500 radiator?

Unplug the device and let it cool down. Use a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. For dust buildup, a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush can be used. Never use solvents or abrasive powders.

What to do in case of oil leakage from the radiator?

Do not attempt to repair it yourself. The leak must be reported immediately to an authorized service center. The special oil is sealed and any opening of the tank must be done by a professional.

Can I use the radiator to dry laundry?

No, it is dangerous to cover or use the device to dry laundry. This could cause overheating and a fire risk. Never place objects on the radiator while it is running.

The radiator makes a creaking noise at startup, is this normal?

Yes, small creaks are normal during initial startup due to material expansion. If the noise persists or becomes abnormal, contact customer service.

How to restore operation after a safety shutdown?

Unplug the power cord for at least 30 minutes. Remove the cause of overheating (e.g., an object placed on the device). Then plug it back in. The device should operate normally.

What is the maximum electrical power of the NC-2500 and how to optimize it?

The maximum power is 2500 W. The double-switch model allows choosing three levels: minimum power (one switch in position 1), intermediate (the other in II), and maximum (both). Use reduced power to save energy during intermediate seasons.

1. GENERALIDADES

Take the radiator out of its packing box and remove any polystyrene pieces or any other packaging material that might be lodged inside it.

Make sure that the radiator has not been damaged during transit and that the mains cable is in working order.

2. FITTING THE FEET

Serie NC (See rating label)

Remove the feet and the castors from the polystyrene packing.

Fit the castors to the spindles on the feet and push firmly until they click into position (fig. 1).

Pull each castor to check that it is fitted correctly.

Fit the feet to the bottom of the radiator using the threaded bar and wing nut provided. Fit only between the external elements as shown in figures 2, 3 and 4.

Model with foot without castor

Some models have one foot without castors. To mount, proceed as follows: Mount the foot with castors following the above instructions, only between the external elements on the side opposite to the controls (see figure 5).

Mount the foot without castors by inserting the two guides (A fig. 5) into the holes on the bottom of the control box (fig. 5).

Fit the tooth into the slot provided and lock the foot with the eye screw (fig. 6). After fitting, turn the radiator back into the vertical operating position.

Serie RA (See rating label)

Remove the feet and the wheels from the polystyrene packing. Turn the radiator upsidedown on a rug or a soft surface in order to prevent damaging the paint finish. Insert the anchor tabs on the feet into the slots in the radiator (fig. 7).

Use the 2 screws supplied with the appliance to fasten the feet in position (fig. 8). Fit the wheels to the spindles on the feet and push firmly until they click into position.

Pull each wheel to check that it is correctly inserted.

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Before using the appliance check that your supply voltage is the same of that shown on the rating label of the unit and that the power socket and power supply line correspond to the load specified.
• Check also that the current capacity of your fuses. CONNECT YOUR HEATER TO EARTH PROVIDED SOCKET ONLY.
• This appliance complies with EEC Directive 89/336, relating to electromagnetic compatibility.

4. HOW TO USE IT

- Switching on

Plug it in; move thermostat to highest setting and switch it on as follows:

a) on-off units with single heat setting:

• key on "I" = ON
• key on "O" = OFF

b) units with three heat settings:

• only right key on "1" = low heat
• only left key on "ll" = medium heat
• both switches on "l" "ll" = high heat
  To turn appliance off, switch off both switches or remove plug from wall socket.

GB

Adjusting the thermostat

The switch and thermostat should be maintained until the desired room temperature has been reached. Now move the thermostat back gradually until the red pilot lamps go out. The thermostat can then remain at this setting. As soon as the room temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the heater switches itself on automatically until the set temperature has again been reached. In this way the room temperature remains constant with the most economical use of electricity.

• Antifreeze function

Turn the thermostat to the * position and press the switches. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 5^ C thus preventing freezing with a minimum energy consumption.

c) Models with a 24 hour time-clock (fig. 9)

To set the heating periods proceed in the following manner:

- Check the time by your watch. Supposing it is 10.00 a.m. turn the numbered dial of the time-clock in a clockwise direction until the number 10 coincides with the reference mark on the time-clock. Set the time period during which you wish the appliance to work by pushing the notches towards the centre. Each notch corresponds to a period of 15 minutes. At this point sections will be visible corresponding to the working periods. Set in this way the radiator will function automatically every day during the set period. (Important: the plug must remain connected to power supply).

-To change the programmed time period, just bring back the black notches to their original position and set the new working periods required.

-If you wish the appliance to function

without programmed working periods push all the notches towards the centre. In this case, to turn the appliance off totally the plug must be pulled out apart from switching off, so as to avoid unnecessary working of the timer.
