Diagram Description:

• Image 1: Radiator body placed upside-down on a stable, scratch-free surface.
• Image 2: U-shaped bolt being attached to the radiator body's U-facing flange between the first and second fins.
• Image 3: Wheel mounting plate being attached to the U-bolt.
• Image 4: Securing the mounting plate with wing nuts.

Steps:

1. Place the radiator body upside-down on a scratch-free location, ensure it is stable and will not fall.
2. Screw off the wing nuts from the U-shaped bolt provided. Attach the U-shaped bolt to the U-facing flange between the first and second fins (near the front cover).
3. To attach the wheel mounting plate to the radiator body, insert the threaded ends of the U-bolt into the holes on the wheel mounting plate.
4. Screw the wing nuts back onto the U-bolt and fasten them properly. Note: Do not overtighten, which may cause damage to the radiator flange.
5. Screw off the spherical nut from the castor. Align the shaft to the hole of the castor mounting plate, insert it, and screw on the spherical nut.

Instructions for Use

1. Before using the heater, make sure that it is on a flat and stable surface. Damage may occur if it is placed on an incline or decline.
2. Set all the controls to the OFF position and insert the plug into a socket-outlet with proper grounding. Be sure that the plug fits firmly.
3. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to the MAX position and switch the heater on as follows: use switch I for low heat, switch II for medium heat, and both switches on for high heat.
4. When your room reaches the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until the pilot light goes out. The thermostat can now be left at this setting.
