When using electrical heaters, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

IMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the heater must be used.

IMPORTANT – All packaging should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

OVERHEATING WARNING

WARNING - In order to avoid overheating, do not cover or obstruct the heater. Do

not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the

heater, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a ﬁre

risk. NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater

or the air outlet slots in the base of the heater.

WARNING - THE SURFACES ON THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of ﬁre

that exists if the heater is accidentally covered.

CAUTION - Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns.

Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

For your safety this heater is ﬁtted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product

overheats for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the

product by cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will

reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and o automatically until the reason for

overheating is removed.

The display screen may ﬂash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the

display, remove the obstruction and hold Enter for 10 seconds.

SUITABLE APPLICATIONS

WARNING - This heater is suitable for normal dwelling purposes and should not be

used in any other type of environment. This product should only be used in the country

where it was purchased from by a recognised commercial retailer. Do not use outdoors.

SERVICING AND REPAIRS

WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the

manufacturers approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualiﬁed person, using

only exact manufacturer approved spare parts.

PLEASE NOTE: Household dust, lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with

the convection eect of electric heaters can cause signiﬁcant soot deposits to build

up on the surface directly above and to the sides of the heater. This is not a fault of the

heater. Extensive burning of candles or smoking in the operating environment of this

product can produce heavy discolouration within a few months of use.

OPERATING WARNINGS

IMPORTANT:Remember to observe all safety warnings and precautions when

operating the heater on the automatic or timer modes, either attended or unattended

since a ﬁre risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered, obstructed or displaced.

CAUTION:Do not use if either of the heater’s mains power leads become damaged. If

the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the installer or an approved Dimplex

service partner.

Do not sit or stand on the heater.

Ensure minimum clearances between the heater and other objects / surfaces are

maintained.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNING - Minimum clearances and IP zone requirements must be adhered to in

accordance with the current wiring regulations.

Mains cables are not provided with this heater.

WARNING - The electrical installation of this heater must be carried out by a suitably

qualiﬁed or trained electrician, and be in strict accordance with current wiring regulations

BS 7671. DO NOT INSTALL IF PRODUCT IS DAMAGED.
