The Rapido heater is an extremely versatile heating appliance with seven selectable power levels. The
Rapido also has two exclusive functions to ensure that the optimum comfort level is achieved in any
given situation.
In order to use this heater to its maximum potential we advise you to carefully read the instructions
given here.
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the appliance from its box and packaging and turn it over resting it on the protective polystyrene
packaging. Check that the appliance is intact, complete with the power cable and that it hasn't suffered
damage during transportation. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.
2. ASSEMBLY OF THE BASE
Remove the castors, wheels and assemblies from the polystyrene packaging.
In the unlikely event that there are any parts missing please contact our customer services department on
0845 600 6845 who will send you the part by return.
Insert the castors into the pins of the feet and push them all the way in until a click can be heard (fig1). Make
sure that they are in tightly by pulling the wheels gently.
Attach the castor assembly into the base of the control panel by inserting the guiding ridges between the
control panel and the first heating element; insert the two location lugs into their housings and lock the castor
assembly to the product by inserting the eye screws, screwing them in tightly. (fig1)
Fit the two rear wheels onto the rear wheel axle (fig 2a). Check that the wheels can turn freely.
Finally turn the heater over to its upright position, ensuring you do not damage the wheels.
3.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that the voltage of the socket corresponds to the
voltage requirement indicated on the appliance, and that the electrical socket and the mains supply to the
socket is rated at 13amps. It is important to ensure that the socket is adequately earthed.
This appliance complies with EEC Directive 89/336 relating to electromagnetic compatibily.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows: The green and yellow wire must be
connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or
the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to
the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate
a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should
be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug
fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit
must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-
fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta
approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse
cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse
cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer.
The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as
marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the
instructions provided below:
