This function allows you to block
access to the device settings to
prevent inadvertent modications.
ADAPTIVE START
KEY LOCK
Adaptive start allows the heater to learn what time it needs to start heating so that the
room is at the set temperature by the time of the programmed setting. For example, if
the programming is set to 20 degrees Celsius at 6am, the heater will start heating up
before 6am so that by 6am, the room will be 20 degrees Celsius.
Many factors impact on room heat up times (e.g. size of the room and insulation)
and initially the heater may start too early or too late. However it will learn and re-
calibrate itself over several days optimising itself to the best time to start heating.
Press and - simultaneously to
lock (Locd) or unlock (OPEn).
17
Should the heater overheat, an automatic thermal cut out will turn the heater o. The
heater will reactivate once the heater has cooled. It will continue to cycle on and o
automatically until the reason for overheating is removed.
In the event of abnormal operation, turn o the device. Check that the grilles are not
blocked. Clean if necessary.
WARNING: Disconnect power and allow the unit to completely cool before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
To keep the appliance clean, regular maintenance is recommended. To remove dust, use
a soft cloth. To remove a stain, dampen the cloth.
For best performance and maximum eciency of the appliance, it is recommended to
regularly remove dust and debris that may accumulate on the grilles of the FLB/FLB+
panel convector.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE OR ACETONEBASED PRODUCTS, AS THEY COULD
DAMAGE THE EPOXY COATING.
ALL SERVICING ON CONVECTAIR APPLIANCES MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE
POWER OFF, AND BY QUALIFIED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

Recommendations and advice
Your CONVECTAIR appliance becomes hot during use. Particular care must be taken in order to inform
young children.
Do not insert objects into the openings of the grilles; this could cause short circuits, res, or damage to
devices.
Any other use not recommended by CONVECTAIR may cause short circuits, res, or injury to users.
In some conditions, the grille of the devices may turn yellow after some time. This phenomenon is not
due to a manufacturing defect. Rather, it is caused by the ambient air which contains fumes or suspended
particles, which are heated and then exhausted through the grille. This phenomenon is particularly visible
on pure white devices and can cause severe discoloration.
Prevention: it is advisable to clean the grills frequently, especially for appliances installed in places
exposed to cigarette smoke or in the kitchen. CONVECTAIR devices must never be used during
construction work or other activities which generate a lot of dust.
When switching on the CONVECTAIR for the rst time, a slight smoke may emerge from it. This
phenomenon is quite normal and will go away on its own after 2 or 3 minutes of operation of the device.
IMPORTANT: PRODUCT INFORMATION APPEARS ON THE RATING LABEL.
The rating label allows for identication of the heater. and is placed on the back of the
unit near the supply grille.
It includes:
- The complete model number (A), which must be included in any
warranty claim.
- Its power in Watts (B).
- Standard certication (C).
