Use the Radiators

Heating is provided in the bedrooms and elsewhere by individual Fondital oil-filled radiators.  These are modern and efficient devices which can heat each room quickly as required.  The instructions are the same form room to room regardless of the capacity of the radiator. To use them, plug them in and operate accordingly.

Download the manual: FonditalBlitzRadiators or follow the instructions below.

Turning the radiator on

The appliance is regulated using four keys, as shown in the figure. When the appliance is in stand-by mode, the black dot on the screen will blink. To turn the radiator on, press the ‘on/off’ key, as shown in the following figure:

[Fondital Figure 1]

The radiator has various operating modes, as shown in the table below. When the radiator is in clock mode, the screen shows the time; in the other modes it shows the programmed temperature. A small icon indicates the current mode.

[Fondital Figure 2]

There is an LED light on the control panel: when the system is in heating mode and the room temperature has not yet reached the desired tempe- rature programmed by the user, the LED is RED. Once the room reaches the programmed temperature, the LED turns GREEN.

Changing the mode

Press the ‘mode’ key to select the desired mode:

[Fondital Figure 3]

Programming TH and TL temperatures

It is possible to programme two separate temperature levels: TH is the desired ambient temperature during operation in Comfort and Pilot Wire mode or when programming; TL is the ambient temperature in Night-time Reduction mode. These two temperature levels can be programmed using the plus and minus keys. A blinking temperature icon on the screen indicates that the temperature is being programmed.

TH can be programmed in Comfort mode, TL can be programmed in Night-time Reduction mode.

[Fondital Figure 4]

The two temperature levels are also used when programming:

[Fondital Figure 5]

TH is the desired ambient temperature during the time periods selected; TL is the (reduced) desired temperature outside the selected time periods.

Setting times and weekly programming

Press the ‘stand-by’ and ‘mode’ keys at the same time and hold for three seconds.

[Fondital Figure 6]

A dot will blink on the screen next to the days of the week (1-7). The current day can be selected using the plus or minus key. Use the ‘mode’ key to confirm the selection. The number corresponding to the hour will blink. Programme the correct time using the plus and minus keys. Confirm the selection with the ‘mode’ key.

The number corresponding to the minutes will blink. Programme the correct minutes using the plus and minus keys. Confirm the selection with the ‘mode’ key.

[Fondital Figure 7]

You can now assign a programme to each day of the week. When a segment appears between two times on the programming bar (at the bottom of the screen), this indicates that the TH temperature level has been selected for this period. The absence of a segment indicates that during this period, the radiator will keep the temperature at the TL level.

Starting from day 1, select the times when the TH temperature is desired. Pressing the + key activates the segment on the screen, and therefore TH as well. Pressing the – key deactivates the segment and the programmed temperature will be equivalent to the TL level.

[Fondital Figure 8]

Confirm the selection using the ‘mode’ key.
This same process must be repeated for each day of the week (1-7).

Child lock

The appliance can be locked to prevent improper or accidental use, to protect children, for example. In order to activate the lock, press and hold the plus and minus keys at the same time for three seconds: the keypad will be locked.

[Fondital Figure 9]

In order to unlock the keypad, press and hold both the plus and minus keys again for three seconds.

Description of operating modes

  • Programming Mode

In this mode, the ambient temperature remains at the TH or TL level, depending on the times set by the user.

[Fondital Figure 10]

  • Comfort mode

This is the normal mode when the radiator is in use, keeping the ambient temperature at the programmed level. 1. Press the ‘mode’ key until the screen displays the icon
2. Select the desired temperature using the + and – keys.

  • Night-time mode

When this operating mode is selected, the radiator will keep the ambient temperature at the programmed TL temperature. The desired TL tempera- ture is programmed as follows:

1. Press the ‘mode’ key until the screen displays the icon
2. Select the desired TL temperature using the + and – keys.

  • Anti-freeze mode

When this mode is selected, the ambient temperature will not drop below 7ºC.

  • Stand-by mode

[Fondital Figure 11]
The radiator is in stand-by mode.

Troubleshooting

If the appliance stops working, do not use it: disconnect from the power supply and contact jon@jonknowles.com.

This appliance has been filled with an exact quantity of mineral oil.
Repairs which require opening the liquid reservoir must be made by the manufacturer, its representatives or customer service.
