Additional information to optimise
Ë
use of your Acova radiator
This electrical appliance with circulating fluid is delivered ready to use.
It is plugged and filled with a high-performance thermal mineral oil before
leaving the factory.
The fluid has been especially designed for this application; it is unalterable
and no special maintenance is required.
This appliance is filled with a special oil. Any repair work requiring the oil tank
to be opened should only be performed by the manufacturer or its after-sales
department which should be contacted in the event of an oil leak.
As soon as the appliance starts to heat up you will notice certain differences
compared to a standard electrical heating system:
• The electrical resistance heats the fluid which gradually starts circulating in
your radiator.
• The fluid's inert characteristics mean that the radiator surface takes at least 10
minutes to reach its optimal temperature, depending on the model and the
room temperature when the appliance is switched on.
• This inertia ensures consistent and sustained heating even when the resistance
is no longer powered.
• Your radiator has a sizeable heating unit which enables self-regulation of the
heat generated according to requirements.
It is therefore normal that at milder times of the year when the appliance is
operated at moderate levels, variations in the radiator's surface temperature
are more noticeable.

Maintenance tips
Ë
Ensure the appliance is turned off before beginning any maintenance operations.
Your Acova radiator is protected from corrosion and impact thanks to
high-quality materials and double surface treatment.
To ensure the operational life of your appliance is maximised, we advise you to
take the following precautions:
• Never use abrasive or corrosive products on the radiator's outer surfaces. Use a
cloth soaked with lukewarm soapy water.
• The control unit should be wiped down with a dry cloth (without solvent).
The fluid obtained by emptying a fully electric model must be consigned to a
specialist in used-oil disposal.

Checks in the event of
Ë
operational failure or anomalies
Should your radiator fail to function, check that:
• Your radiator is properly connected to an appropriate power supply (see page
12 of the instructions),
• The switch is in the on position and the indicator is lit (see page 14 of the
instructions),
• The thermostat is in the right position for heating up the radiator (see page
14 of the instructions),
If your radiator is connected to a master device, timer or programming unit,
please refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
