Setup and Installation

Installation of the ACOVA Fassane Premium Plinthe Radiator should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical and building codes. This ensures safe and correct operation.

• Unpacking: Carefully remove the radiator from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
• Positioning: Choose a suitable location, typically under windows or in areas requiring low-height heating. Ensure adequate clearance around the radiator for proper heat distribution.
• Feet Installation: The radiator is supplied with two adjustable feet, which are not pre-mounted. Attach these feet securely to the base of the radiator. They are painted to match the radiator's color.
• Electrical Connection: This model requires an external regulation system (thermostat, control unit) as it does not include an integrated one. The electrical connection must be made by a certified electrician to the appropriate power supply, ensuring all safety standards are met. The radiator comes with a cable outlet cover.
• Mounting: While designed for floor standing with its feet, ensure stability. If wall mounting is desired, consult the manufacturer's specific instructions or a professional.

Operating Instructions

As the ACOVA Fassane Premium Plinthe Radiator TCLXD-050-050 does not include an integrated thermostat or control panel, its operation is entirely managed by the external regulation system you connect to it. Ensure your external control system is properly installed and configured.

• Power On/Off: Control the power supply to the radiator via your external thermostat or circuit breaker.
• Temperature Setting: Adjust the desired room temperature using your external thermostat. The radiator will activate or deactivate based on the thermostat's readings to maintain the set temperature.
• Heat Distribution: The ThermoActif fluid inside the radiator ensures a gentle and homogeneous heat distribution throughout the room, providing consistent comfort.
• Energy Efficiency: Due to its high thermal inertia, the radiator maintains heat efficiently, contributing to reduced energy consumption once the desired temperature is reached.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your radiator.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Dust Removal: Periodically remove dust from the top grille and between the heating elements using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. This prevents dust accumulation from affecting heat output.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the electrical connections and the condition of the power cable. If any damage is observed, contact a qualified electrician for repair.
• No Internal Maintenance: The fluid inside the radiator is sealed and does not require replenishment or internal maintenance. Do not attempt to open the radiator.

Troubleshooting

If your radiator is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues and solutions before contacting support.

• Radiator Not Heating:
  • Check if the external thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
  • Verify that the radiator is receiving power. Check the circuit breaker in your electrical panel.
  • Ensure the external control system is functioning correctly.
• Insufficient Heat:
  • Confirm the radiator's power (500W) is adequate for the room size.
  • Check for drafts or open windows that might be causing heat loss.
  • Ensure the radiator is not obstructed by furniture or curtains, which can block heat emission.
• Unusual Noises:
  • Minor expansion and contraction noises are normal as the radiator heats up and cools down.
  • If loud or persistent noises occur, disconnect power and contact a qualified technician.

For issues not resolved by these steps, or for any electrical concerns, always consult a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's support.
