Important
You must leave the heater plugged in at the mains socket to keep the heater’s memory programmed.
If the heater loses its electricity supply for more than 2 minutes, e.g. if unplugged or in the event of a
power failure, the heater’s programmes will be lost, and the timer will not work until reset. In such an
instance the display will show flashing numbers.
Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance, unplug the heater from the mains and wait for it to cool. 
The oil-filled electric radiator requires no particular maintenance. It is sufficient to remove the dust with a soft, dry
cloth. Never use abrasive powders or solvents. If necessary remove concentrated areas of dirt with a vacuum
cleaner.
