Operating Instructions
1. Power Connection

Locate the power switch, usually on the control panel. Turn the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the radiator.
3. Temperature Control
Use the thermostat dial or buttons on the control panel to set your desired room temperature. The radiator will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature.
4. Heat Settings
Many oil radiators offer multiple heat settings (e.g., Low, Medium, High). Select the desired heat output using the corresponding switch or button. Higher settings provide more rapid heating.
5. Shutting Down
To turn off the radiator, set the power switch to the 'OFF' position and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Allow the radiator to cool down completely before moving or storing it.

2. Storage
When not in use, store the radiator in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging, to protect it from dust and damage.
