Important Safety Advice

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:

IIMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the
appliance must be used.
WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEA TER IN THE IMMEDIA TE
SURROUNDINGS OF A BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING
POOL.
IMPORTANT – If the heater is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower , it must be so installed that
switches and other controls cannot be touched by a
person using a bath or shower.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket
outlet or connection box.
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation
around the heater, for inst ance 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 inlet slots in the base of
the heater.

The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating

that it must not be covered.
WARNING – THE SURF ACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT .
Momentary contact with any part of the heater should
not cause injury.
This 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 appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Note that due care and consideration must be taken
when using this heater in series with a thermal control,
a program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk
exists when the heater is accidentally covered or
displaced.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent
electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current I.E.E.
regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code :

GREEN AND YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
BLACK : PILOT WIRE

- see also ‘Pilot Wire Connection’.
The heater is fitted with a length of flexible cable type H05VV-

F size 4 x 1.0mm
premises through a suitable connection box positioned
adjacent to the heater.

The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a double
pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least
3mm.

Pilot Wire Connection

The BLACK control wire is designed to carry a signal from
slot in or wall mounted Dimplex programmers. If, however a
programmer is not being used, the pilot wire should be
isolated in accordance with the current IEE Wiring
Regulations.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT connect the BLACK pilot wire to earth.
Care should be taken with the installation of the pilot wire(s)
as when switching to background (set back) they become
energised at 240V although only at a current of less than
100mA. In every case a suitable means of isolation must be
provided for the pilot wire and marked to indicate that two
sources of supply may be present at the heater.

Where pilot wires are installed separately from the heater
final sub-circuit they should be protected, double insulated
and carry their own integral earth continuity conductor.

Supplementary Earth Bonding

Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing
conductor in the supply cord is deemed to provide the
supplementary bonding connection (see Regulation 547­03-05, 16

th

2

for connection to the fixed wiring of the

Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).

General

The heater is designed for wall mounting on the wall bracket
supplied. It should only be operated when in the upright
position as shown - see Fig. 1.

All models are splashproof to IPX4 standard and may be
used in bathrooms, however not in the immediate vicinity of
baths, showers, water connections, wash basins or
swimming pools.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is
the same as that stated on the heater.

Wall Mounting

IMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the appliance

must be used. The heater should be positioned observing
the minimum clearances stated around the heater - see

Fig. 1.
DO NOT locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket

outlet or connection box.

1. Remove wall mounting bracket from the back of the
heater by depressing the spring latch at the top of
each bracket - see Fig. 2.

2. Fix the wall bracket securely to the wall through the
four screw holes provided.

3. Present the heater to the wall bracket, and engage
lower slots in the back with bracket.

4. Raise the heater to upright position and push the
heater onto bracket to engage top latch.

Setting Desired Temperature (see Fig. 4)

The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling
the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the slider
accordingly. The min setting ‘

’ represents a room
temperature of approximately 50C and may be used for
protection against frost. The ‘MAX’ setting represents a room
temperature of approximately 300C. The ‘ ’ symbol glows
when the elements are actually heating.

Turn on the heater using the ‘

’ button and move the
thermostat slider to the desired position. When the room
temperature has reached the desired level, the power to the
elements will be reduced, the heater will then maintain the
room temperature at the chosen level.

NOTE - Should your heater fail to come on when the
thermostat slider is at a low setting, this may be due to the
room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

Background T emperature

When used in conjunction with a remote programming device
supporting a background/setback setting, the heater will
automatically operate at a room temperature setting of 5

0

less than the thermostat setting when the programme is in
background/setback mode.

Limiting the thermostat setting

Before wall mounting the product the installer may wish to
limit the heat selection slider movement for the operator.
This may be achieved by removing the two plastic pins (see
‘x’ in Fig. 5) from the rear of the thermostat moulding using
pliers and inserting them in the preferred holes to limit the
slider movement.

The button marked ‘

’ controls the electricity supply to the

electronic thermostat. An indicator beside the ‘
shows when the unit is powered ‘ON’.
