1.3 Overview of your 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. This fluid was specially designed for this use and requires no special
maintenance.
As soon as the appliance is switched on, you will notice certain differences
compared to a standard electric heating system:
- the electric heating element heats the fluid, which gradually and naturally starts
circulating in your appliance;
- the properties of the fluid are such that it takes approximately ten minutes for the
radiator to reach its optimum surface temperature, depending on the model and
the room temperature when the appliance is switched on;
- this principle also ensures consistent and sustained heating even when the
element is no longer powered.
