[. . . ] Run the cord away from traffic areas and where it will not be tripped over. To disconnect the heater, switch it OFF, then unplug its cord from the outlet. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this might cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the heater. [. . . ] CONNECTION The radiator must be connected to a properly polarized A/C 115/220 V (check the voltage on the label positioned on the cable) household outlet in perfect working conditions. Keep loose clothing or bedding, furniture and flammable material away from the wall outlet where the heater plug is fitted in. The lights on the switches remain on indipendent of the cycling of the thermostat. When room reaches desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise very slowly and carefully until you hear a "click". This will automatically set your unit to cycle on and off at that desired heat setting. USE OF THERMOSTAT The thermostat operates on room air temperature and not radiator temperature. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C thus preventing freezing with a minimum energy consumption. REMINDER To completely shut unit off, ON/OFF switches must be placed in OFF position. UNITS WITH TIMER Clock setting The programme/timer, as in all clocks, must be set to the correct time. The timer is in effect an electric clock and only works while plug is connected to the power supply. Whenever the plug is disconnected, the timer stops and must be re-set. Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try again by turning it the other way. If it would still not go in, it is probably due to an obsolete outlet which should be replaced. Do not temper with the plug or outlet to defeat the purpose of this safety mechanism. Each tab represents a 1/4 hour (15 minutes) and there is a tab for every quarter hour of the 24 hour day.
