1. Invert carton and lift carton off heater. Take care to ensure that staples
in carton ! aps do not scratch surface of heater. Do not remove internal
packaging pieces at this stage.

Assembly of heater

2. Remove feet and accessories bag from corner " ttings (accessories bag
is located within one of the feet.)

3. Secure feet to base of the heater using two Taptite screws (provided)
for each foot. (On modules CXL12N/CXLS12N it would be necessary to
remove base corner packaging pieces to locate feet in position). Apply
end pressure whilst turning screws so that they form their own thread in
the plunged holes in the base.

4. Loosen hexagon head front panel securing screws, by 1-2 turns using
screwdriver through aperture in each end packaging piece.

Stand heater on its feet and remove all packaging pieces.

5. Position heater against wall in intended " nal position, taking
note of the minimum " xing dimensions given below. If " tted, the
Dimplex storage heater shelf should be " xed in accordance with
the instructions enclosed with the shelf.

Special instructions for ! tting the heater to the wall.

6. Fitting on the top of carpet. If the heater is to stand on top of the carpet the following
course of action MUST be taken. Ensure that any carpet gripper (e.g. “Gripperod”) is
removed from the ! nal positions of the storage heater feet. Ensure that the carpet AND
underlay completely cover the area under the feet so that they stand on a level surface.
If the underlay is particularly thick it is advisable to cut it away completely from under the
feet and for a suf! ciently wide area around the feet for them to rest ! rmly through the
carpet onto the " oor.

7. Fitting directly on the " oor. If the ! oor is carpeted then the carpet
may be slit and underlay cut away to allow the feet to rest " rmly on the
! oor. Carpet gripper must be locally removed so that the feet may rest in
a level position.

8. Having decided on the method of standing the heater on the ! oor the
position of the wall bracket should be marked on the wall.

9. Remove wall " xing bracket from heater by removing the screws and
spacer bushes at each end.

11. Solid Brick/High Density Block Walls. (See step 12 if walls are of
low density block) These must be drilled and plugged with the No. 10 size

plastic inserts provided. The correct size of drill (8mm) should be used and
the hole should be drilled to a depth of 15mm greater than the length of the
plastic insert, so that the " xing is made below the plaster layer.

12. Low Density Block Walls. A specialised " xing, such as the Uni" x LB70.
should be employed following closely the manufacture’s instructions.
Panelled Internal Walls. Here it is best to locate the studding and use
No.10 size woodscrews. Where it is not possible to locate the studding
use type M5 Rawlplug INTERSETS on securely fastened plasterboard
panelling. For other wall panel materials the wall panel manufacturer should
be consulted for details of suitable wall " xing devices.

10. Four " xing positions must be chosen for the 24N, three
for the 18N and two for the 12N . Mark the positions for
the " xing holes - two at the extreme ends and the others
spaced evenly between them. Remove the bracket from
the wall, drill the holes in the positions marked, and insert
suitable " xings detailed in Steps 11 and 12. Secure the
wall bracket to the wall.
