Before operating the radiator, follow these steps for proper setup:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the radiator from its packaging. Retain packaging for storage or in case of return.
- Attach Wheels: The radiator comes with 4 wheels for easy mobility. Turn the radiator upside down. Insert the wheel axles into the designated slots on the base of the radiator. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Positioning: Place the radiator on a firm, level surface. Ensure it is at least 90 cm (3 feet) away from walls, furniture, and curtains to allow for proper air circulation and prevent fire hazards. Do not place it directly under a power outlet.

6. Operating Instructions
Your KING K 6280 Spectra radiator offers multiple heating options for optimal comfort.
6.1. Power On/Off

The radiator features 3 different heat settings:
- Low Heat: Activates a portion of the heating elements for gentle warmth.

- High Heat (2500 Watt): Activates all heating elements for maximum warmth.
Select the desired heat setting using the power switches on the control panel. You can combine switches to achieve different power levels.
6.3. Thermostat Control
The adjustable thermostat allows you to maintain a desired room temperature.
- Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to increase the desired temperature or counter-clockwise to decrease it.
