6. Funcționare

The thermostatic head allows for easy and precise temperature control in the room. It features 7 adjustable settings to regulate the heat output of your radiator.

1. Reglarea temperaturii: Rotate the thermostatic head to select your desired temperature setting. The head is marked with numbers or symbols corresponding to different temperature ranges.
2. Setări de temperatură: The 7 adjustable settings typically correspond to specific temperature ranges. Refer to the diagram below for common settings.
3. Protecție împotriva înghețului: The '*' (snowflake) setting usually activates a frost protection mode, maintaining a minimum temperature (e.g., 7°C) to prevent pipes from freezing.
