Radiator BOOster instructions

Instructions for using your RB1-707-TT Radiator BOOster

When you first use this product, place it on top of a hot radiator, diamond shaped holes facing down, and leave in place for at least 2 hours to ensure the thermostatic switch is operating correctly.

This energy-saving device maximises heat output from radiators at virtually zero running cost. The ingenious design is made from the very minimum of raw materials, whilst achieving the greatest possible energy saving. It’s objective is to speed up the heat distribution from your radiator, warming your room faster, allowing your heating system to shut down sooner, saving energy. It also limits the heat lost through the walls behind. In most cases you should be able to reduce your room thermostat setting by 1-3 degrees Celsius.    

Instructions; 

(1) Extend the housing to match the length or your radiator, or on longer radiators, until just 25mm-overlap of the two sections remains. 

(2) Place on top of the radiator, as far towards the back (wall) as possible, equal distance from both ends. Ensure the product label is facing downwards as the diamond-shaped openings allow the warm air to be drawn up from behind the radiator. Some radiator designs allow the device to ‘drop-down a little’ behind it. This further improves the performance. 

(3) Plug in / Switch on the power. From here, the built-in thermostat will ‘switch-on’ the device as soon as your radiator heats up, and ‘off’ again as the radiator cools. For maximum product life & energy saving, switch off from wall socket when not needed. 

(4) Keep the device as clean as possible. A build up of dust will reduce its useful life. Wipe clean using a  ‘lint-free’ cloth, take care with the fragile fan blades; they will break with the slightest force. 

(5) The power cord should be kept tucked away to avoid any trip hazard, loosely tied up should it be too long/sagging. 

(6) NEVER use water or chemicals on the device, and never immerse it in water. Should this happen, DO NOT plug it in.

(7) Never use the device in a bathroom, shower room, etc, indeed anywhere there is water and/or high humidity. 

(8) Should something jam the fan and prevent it from operating, switch off the power immediately & return the product for service. Failure to do this will result in the fan burning out. Never allow young children or animals to touch or play with this product. 

(9) Never cut the power lead, or extend it yourself, or use any other power supply adaptor other than the one supplied with the product as electric shock and/or a fire could result. 

(10) The device can also be used where radiator covers are fitted (provided there is space to install it). Radiator covers seriously reduce the heat output from radiators. A Radiator BOOster could increase heat output from your ‘covered’ radiator by up to 3 times, saving you more energy, further reducing your costs. 

(11) This product is designed to be very effective, and very reliable. Should you have any problems, please contact your retailer immediately. The product is guaranteed against defects in design or manufacture, but not against abuse or accidental damage. 

(12) When you have no further use for this product, please dispose of it through your local authority recycling-program for ‘recovery and recycling for electrical products’. 

(13) This device must only be used on ‘water system radiators’. NEVER use on OIL FILLED Radiators, as these can get too hot for the plastic housing, which may then fail to work correctly. 

(14) Should you notice a rubbing/clicking sound, you may need to apply a gentle squeeze around the housing area of the fan to re-align it. Should the fan suddenly start making a loud noise, it could be that it has moved on its bearing. To correct this simply place your fingertip on the inside centre circle-area of the fan, (opposite side to the fan label), & press carefully to ensure the bearing has not slipped during use or transit.
