Frequently Asked Questions - HS20F DELONGHI

How to mount the feet of the DELONGHI HS20F convector?

Insert the hooks into the provided holes, then turn the foot until it hooks. Then secure it with the supplied screws (fig. 1 and 2 of the manual).

TERMOCONVECTOR ELECTRICO

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.

WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.

With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue:

Brown:

Neutral

Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If you have a 3-pins plug, do not connect any wire to the "earth" terminal.

ASSEMBLING THE FEET

Fit the feet ti the appliance as follows:

• Insert the anchor pins into the slots and turn the foot until it clicks into position (fig. 1).
• Fasten the feet in position using the screws (fig. 2).

WALL-MOUNTING

If you want to fix the appliance to the wall, please contact your nearest Service Centre asking for the wall-mounting kit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Before inserting the plug in an electrical outlet, check carefully to be certain that the voltage in your home's electrical system matches the voltage indicated on the appliance and that the socket and main feed are of a size sufficient to power this appliance.
• THIS APPLIANCE COMPLIES WITH EEC DIRECTIVE 89/336 REGARDING ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.

OPERATION AND USE

Turning the appliance on

• Models with only one switch

This appliance is turned on when you can see the red area on the switch (or, in those models so equipped, when the warning light on the switch comes on).
- Models with only a thermostat

This appliance can be turned on by rotating its knob clockwise until it stops at the last possible setting.

To turn this appliance off, rotate the knob to its lowest position and remove its plug from the electrical outlet.

• Models with a thermostat and two switches

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise until it reaches its last possible setting, then press one switch (minimum power) or both switches (maximum power) so the red area becomes visible (or the warning light comes on in those models so provided).

Adjusting the thermostat

When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until you get to the setting — and not beyond it — where you hear a click (or, for models with warning lights, until those lights turn off).

The thermostat will then adjust that set temperature automatically and keep it constant.

If your appliance is the type with 2 switches, you could utilize only one of them during mild seasons and on days not particularly cold. You will thus use but little electrical power and obtain even greater savings in energy consumption.

Anti-freeze function (only for models with a thermostat)

Tum the switch (or switches) to make the red area show, then turn the thermostat knob to the "..." setting. When so regulated, this appliance will keep a room at a temperature of 5^ while consuming but a minimum of energy.

Model with a fan

This version makes it possible to heat a room even more quickly, thanks to a built-in fan that speeds up the spread of heat and keeps the temperature uniform.

To turn this unit on, proceed as follows:

• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the last possible setting.
• To operate the appliance at minimum without the fan, push the I button (the red area will become visible or, in models having a switch with a warning light, the light will come on).
• To operate the appliance at minimum with the fan, press the II button (the red area will become visible or, in models having a switch with a warning light, the light will come on).
• Push both switches in order to get the highest power

In this model, the thermostat can be adjusted just as it is for models without a fan.

MAINTENANCE

Always pull the plug out of its electrical outlet before beginning any cleaning.

This electric convector requires no special maintenance. All you have to do is dust it off with a soft, dry cloth — but do so only when the appliance is cold. Never use abrasive powders or solvents.

HELPFUL ADVICE

• Do not make use of this heating convector in the immediate proximity of bathtubs, showers, washbasins, pools, etc. In addition, this appliance must never be placed directly under a permanent electrical outlet.
• Do not place the power cable atop this appliance when it is hot.
• Always use this heating convector only in an upright position.
• Do not block the hot-air outlet grilles or the intake grille located on the bottom of the appliance.
• This appliance comes with a Y-type connection. Replacement of the power cable must be entrusted only a technician authorised by the manufacturer, because such work requires special tools.
• Never use this appliance in a room whose base area is less than 4m^2 . We likewise recommend that you not place this equipment in a draft, because blasts of air may adversely affect the equipment's operational efficiency.

Important: Never cover this appliance in any manner whatsoever while it is operating, because by doing so you will cause a dangerous increase in the temperature of the appliance itself.
