For optimal performance and safety:

• Place the radiator on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space around the front and sides of the heater, and 30 cm (1 foot) from the rear to allow for proper air circulation.
• Do not place the heater directly below a power outlet.
• Avoid placing the heater in areas where it could be easily knocked over.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power Connection

Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is rated for 240V and can handle the 2000W power consumption of the radiator.

4.2 Power Settings

The radiator offers two power settings:

• Low Power: Press one power switch (e.g., 'I' or 'MIN'). The indicator light will illuminate.
• High Power (2000W): Press both power switches (e.g., 'I' and 'II' or 'MAX'). The indicator light will illuminate.

4.3 Setting the Thermostat

The adjustable thermostat allows you to maintain a desired room temperature:

1. Turn the thermostat dial to its maximum setting.
2. Select your desired power level (Low or High). The indicator light will turn on, signifying that the heater is actively producing heat.
3. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the thermostat dial counter-clockwise until the indicator light turns off.
4. The heater will now cycle on and off automatically to maintain the set temperature. The indicator light will illuminate when the heater is actively heating.

The radiator is equipped with an automatic overheat protection system. If the heater's internal components reach an unsafe temperature, the heater will automatically shut off. To reset:

2. Allow the heater to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

4. Plug the heater back in and resume operation. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
