Usage Recommendations

Place the radiator on a flat, stable surface and allow at least the minimum clearance around it for air circulation, particularly when using higher settings. Use the lower heat setting overnight or during milder days to conserve energy. Move the unit between rooms with the carry handle and castors when extra heat is required elsewhere, remembering to switch off and unplug the radiator before repositioning. Avoid covering the unit or placing it near curtains or easily flammable materials to maintain safety.
