DeLonghi TRD40615E Full Room Radiant Heater

INTRODUCTION

A ground-breaking new design that effectively and efficiently warms the air in the room via convection as well as having 25% more radiant surface to fast warm the people in the room is now available from the creators of the oil-filled category. Because of the new heater’s use of thermal chimneys, which maximize heating while maintaining a cool surface temperature, the radiator is a good option for families with children or pets. An adjustable thermostat and varied heat settings are available on the user-friendly control panel to meet your specific heating requirements and maximize energy efficiency. It also has a 24-hour programmable timer for additional energy savings. When the temperature falls below 44 degrees Fahrenheit, the device can automatically come on thanks to the anti-freeze setting.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 

When using any electrical appliance, some basic safety precautions should always be observed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons. Specifically:

• Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.
• If your radiator is equipped with a polyethylene tape used as a carry handle, remove it before connecting appliance to the outlet.
• This appliance gets very hot when in use. To pre- vent burns, do not touch hot surfaces with bare skin. Use the handle when moving the appliance. Keep all flammable materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothing, and curtains at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the front and top of the appliance, also avoid contact with the sides and back.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the ap- pliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
• Always disconnect the plug from the power out- let when the appliance is not in use.
• Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
• If heater has leaked any oil, discontinue using the heater and contact the service center as indicated in the instruction leaflet. Return heater to authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
• Do not use the appliance outdoors.
• This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar indoor locations. Never position the appliance where it may fall into a bathtub or come in contact with water.

• To completely turn off the appliance, push the ON/OFF button, and then unplug the heater.
• Connect to properly polarized outlets only.
• Do not wrap the cord around the appliance immediately after use.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to get into the air intake or air outlet grille, as this may cause electric shock or fire, or damage the appliance.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or air outlet grille in any way. Do not use the ap- pliance on soft surfaces, such as beds, where the openings may become blocked.
• Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating and the risk of fire.
• The internal parts of the appliance can become very hot or produce sparks during operation. Do not use the appliance in areas where gasoline, paints, or other flammable liquids are used or stored.
• Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Any other use not indicated by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• To prevent current overload and blown fuses, make sure that no other appliance is plugged into the same outlet or into another outlet wired into the same circuit.
• It is normal for heater’s plug and cord to feel warm to the touch. However, an excessively hot or deformed plug or cord is not normal and may be the result of a defective electrical outlet. Defective outlets must be replaced before using the heater. Plugging the heater into a worn outlet may result in overheating of the power cord or may cause the risk of fire.
• If the power cord is damaged, to reduce the risk of malfunction it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a licensed and qualified professional.
• Do not use this appliance with an extension cord or outlet strip. Connect the appliance directly to a suitable outlet.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet. Wall outlets may deteriorate with time, so check the plug periodically for signs of overheating or deformation. If the outlet has deteriorated, stop using it and have it repaired.
• Check that neither the appliance nor the power cord have been damaged during shipping.
• Make sure that no Styrofoam or other packing materials remain in the appliance.
• Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left between one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
• The first time the appliance is used, run it at the maximum power for at least two hours. During this time, ventilate the room thoroughly to eliminate the “new” smell released by the appliance. It is completely normal for the appliance to emit “creaking” sounds the first time it is run.
• CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, make sure the wide prong of the plug is inserted in the wide slot of the outlet.
• Do not place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.
• Extreme caution is necessary whenever the heater is left operating unattended.

TROUBLESHOOTING        

FAQs

Does it make any noise (when turning on or off) like a noticeable “click” or any other kind of noise?

As many other customers acknowledged, it does make occasional faint clicking noises that are not an issue for me. As it heats up, my unit makes a fairly loud popping noise. It only happens as the oil is heating up or, sometimes when cooling down.

Can it be set to go on automatically (say at 6am) every day?

Copied from an answer to a similar question: A: You can only program it to turn on after a set number of hours not at a certain time. If you want the heater to turn on at 6:00 am, then at 10:00 pm the night before with the unit off.

How do you program this heaters 24 hour timer for more than 1 setting a day?

This unit allows timing of “ON” or “OFF”. Selection is made and up to 12 hours can be selected. For example, IF unit is ON, timer can be set to turn OFF at a time YOU select. CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE DESIRED AT A FUTURE TIME CAN NOT BE MADE.

Does it come back on after a power failure

It does not come back on after a power failure; the unit must manually be turned on.

What is the difference between the 89.95 heater and the 149.95 heater?

Design. One is a regular radiator heater. The 149.95 has the fins and more closed sides that causes a chimney effect that seems to work surprisingly well.

Will it keep my detached man cave above freezing during the winter months? I don’t need it 70, just above freezing.

I think it will keep up above freezing, so far, I got it on with temp 40 degrees outside and it kept my space pretty warm up to 64 degrees I have 14×16 area space.

How much clearance does it need?

None really. I have it right up against baseboard. There is no element to warrant any fire hazard it is an oil based heater.

Does this heater use a normal plug?

Yes, this heater comes with a normal polarized two-prong plug.

Can you use this heater with a smart plug to remotely turn the heater on?

I don’t see why not? The heater itself has a simplified timer up to 4 … or 6 hours delay or auto ‘shut off’ which I use effectively.

what is the average energy consumption?

the minimum wattage of this unit is 700 watts while the nominal wattage is 1500 watts.

is this infrared heating as stated in the description?

It heats well but I could not take the oil smell that comes with it.

WHEN DO YOU FILL OR ADD OR REPLACE OIL?

These units are sealed and you cannot replace or fill them with oil.

It’s safe to use in the bathroom?

Yes, my wife and I love it. Great for the bathroom or bedroom. So far, it’s the best heater we have owned.

IS this UL listed?

No. The official DeLonghi website says nothing about this heater being UL listed. Also, I could not find DeLonghi in the UL website’s Online Certifications Directory.

is the clock accurate?

There is no clock there is a timer.
