- If you wish the appliance to function without programmed working periods push all the
notches towards the centre. In this case, to turn the appliance off totally the plug must be
pulled out apart from switching off, so as to avoid unnecessary working of the timer.
- Antifreeze function: turn the thermostat dial to the minimum position and press the
switches. The appliance will maintain a minimum room temperature of approximately 5°C
thus preventing freezing with a minimum energy consumption.
- Summer use: (ventilation only): turn the thermostat dial fully clockwise to the maximum
position (with the teeth of the timer facing inwards).
MODELS WITH ADJUSTABLE BASE (pedal switch)
Some models feature an adjustable base and pedal switch.
The appliance can be manually pointed up to around 30° to the right and left, so as to aim
the flow of air in the preferred direction.
To turn the appliance on, after having set the thermostat dial and switches (and, if necessary,
the timer) as described above, press the pedal switch to activate the main switch which turns
on the appliance (for models with timer, the pilot light on the base will turn on). To turn the
appliance off, simply press the pedal again (the pilot light on the base will turn off).
Important: the appliance can only be turned on using the pedal.
MODELS WITH MOTORISED ROTATING BASE
Some models are fitted with a motorised rotating base.
To turn the appliance on, use the dial, switches and, if necessary, the timer, as described
above.
To distribute the air flow over a larger area, press the pedal. When activated in this way, the
appliance will oscillate both to the right and left over an angle of around 30°. To stop the
appliance in the desired position, simply press the pedal again.
