The Rapido ensures that the optimum comfort level is achieved in any given situation. In order to use this heater to its maximum potential we suggest to carefully read the instructions that follow. 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 Insert the castors into the pins of the plastic castors holder 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 unit 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 metal bar. Allocate the metal bar with mounted wheels into the grooves (2a). The slots of the internal part of the wheels must fit into the appropriate housing (2b). Finally turn the heater over to its upright position, ensuring you do not damage the wheels. 3. LOCATION Place heater on floor beneath coldest window in the room or any desired location. Your heater will minimize the effect of cold drafts. The heater must not be located immediately below a socket-outlet. Do not use this radiator in rooms having a surface area less than 42 sq.
