User Tips
- Pre-heat Rooms: For optimal comfort, turn on the radiator a little while before you plan to use the room. Oil radiators provide a consistent, gentle heat that takes some time to build up.
- Effective Thermostat Use: Set the thermostat to your desired comfort level and let the heater manage the temperature. Avoid constantly adjusting it, as this can be less energy-efficient.
- Strategic Placement: Place the radiator in the coldest part of the room or near a window to counteract cold drafts. Ensure it's not obstructed by furniture or curtains to allow for proper heat circulation.
- Energy Saving: Use the lower power settings (1000W or 1300W) for maintaining warmth in smaller rooms or for longer periods, and the highest setting (2300W) for rapid heating of larger spaces.
