Control Panel
Image 4: Detailed view of the control panel on the Rowenta Intensium radiator, featuring the power indicator light, the thermostat dial (MIN to MAX), and the power selection dial (0-ECO-1-2).
The control panel consists of two main dials and a power indicator light:
- Thermostat Dial (Top): Adjusts the desired room temperature from minimum (MIN) to maximum (MAX).
- Power Selection Dial (Bottom): Selects the heating mode.
- Power Indicator Light (Red): Illuminates when the heater is actively heating.
Power Settings
Turn the Power Selection Dial to choose one of the three available settings:
- 0 (Off): Turns the heater off.
- ECO Mode: Provides energy-saving heating, ideal for maintaining a comfortable temperature with lower power consumption.
- Setting 1: Standard heating mode for general use.
- Setting 2 (2000W): Turbo mode for ultra-fast temperature rise and maximum heat output up to 2000 Watts.
Adjusting the Thermostat
To set your desired temperature:
- Turn the Power Selection Dial to your desired power setting (ECO, 1, or 2).
