Purpose
The heating element is an electric device intended solely for instal-
lation in radiators (standalone or connected to the central heating
system) to serve as space heaters , or clothes and towels dryer.
Operation
Heating element fitted in radiator and connected to the mains
is ready for operation. Make sure that radiator is fully filled with
heating medium leaving only a necessary air cushion. If radiator
is connected to central heating system make sure air is bled out
of the system. Built-in temperature limiter (65° C) protects against
excessive temperature rise on the radiator , but it is recommended
to select a heating element power output ensuring the normal op-
eration temperature does not exceed 60° C — this will guarantee
long-term durability and reliability of the device.
The design of the heating element, as well as the physical prop-
erties of different heating fluids can cause uneven heat tempera-
ture distribution across the radiator. Lower radiator tubes can be
cold. Such a condition is completely normal and is not the result of
a heating element fault.
Maintenance
• Before performing maintenance, always unplug the unit from
the mains .
• Periodically check the fluid level in the radiator and make sure
the heating element is completely submerged.
• Clean the product with a dry or damp cloth only or with
a small amount of detergent containing no solvents or
abrasives.
