5. Operating Instructions
Your HJM AVA BAS radiator features an intuitive chrono-thermostat for precise temperature control and programming.
Control Panel Overview:
Refer to Figure 3.2 for a detailed view of the control panel. The display shows the current temperature and operating mode. Buttons allow you to adjust settings, select modes, and program the device.
Operating Modes:
The radiator offers several operating modes to suit your needs:
- Pilot Wire (Fil Pilote): For external control via a central heating system.
- Comfort (Confort): Maintains a pleasant, continuous temperature.
- Economic (Économique): Reduces energy consumption by maintaining a slightly lower temperature.
- Frost Protection (Hors Gel): Protects against very low temperatures, typically maintaining around 7°C.
- Holiday (Vacances): Ideal for prolonged absences, maintaining a low temperature to prevent freezing.
- Chrono: Activates the programmed schedule (24/7 programming).
- Turbo: Provides rapid heating for a short period.
- On/Off (Marche/Arrêt): Manual control to turn the radiator on or off.

Programming the Chrono-Thermostat:
The 24/7 programmable chrono-thermostat allows you to set specific temperatures for different times of the day and week. It includes a free program for custom settings and two pre-recorded programs for convenience. Consult the on-screen menu for detailed programming steps.
Smart Functions:
- Open Window Detector: This system detects rapid temperature drops caused by an open window. It automatically pauses heating to prevent energy waste. Heating resumes once the window is closed and the temperature stabilizes.
- Keypad Lock: Activate this function to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to the radiator's settings. Refer to the control panel instructions for activation/deactivation.
- Consumption Indicator: The display can show real-time energy consumption, helping you monitor and optimize your energy usage.
- Anticipated Ignition System: When programmed, the radiator intelligently anticipates your heating needs, turning on slightly before the scheduled time to ensure the room reaches the desired temperature precisely when you need it.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your HJM AVA BAS radiator.
- Cleaning: Before cleaning, always switch off the radiator and unplug it from the power supply. Allow it to cool down completely. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Dust Removal: Periodically remove dust from the air vents using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Ensure vents are clear for optimal airflow.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact a qualified technician.
- Storage: If storing the radiator for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place, protected from dust and moisture.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your radiator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radiator does not turn on. | No power supply; Power switch off; Thermal limiter activated. | Check if the radiator is plugged in and the outlet is working. Ensure the main power switch is on. If the thermal limiter activated, unplug, let cool, and check for obstructions. |
| Radiator not heating sufficiently. | Incorrect temperature setting; Open window detected; Radiator too small for room size. | Increase the set temperature. Close any open windows. Ensure the radiator's power (1500W) is appropriate for the room area. |
| Display shows an error code. | Internal malfunction; Sensor issue. | Note the error code and consult the full product manual (if available) or contact customer support. Try resetting the radiator by unplugging it for a few minutes. |
