was purchased from by a recognised commercial retailer. Do not use outdoors. Do not install
if the product is damaged.
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 re risk. NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat

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 tted 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 ash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the display, remove the obstruction

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 re risk exists
when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.
CAUTION: Do not use if the heater’s mains power lead is damaged. If the supply cord is damaged
it must be replaced by the installer or an approved Dimplex service partner.
SERVICING AND REPAIRS
WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the manufacturers
approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualied person, using only exact manufacturer
approved spare parts.
PLEASE NOTE: Household dust, lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with the
convection eect of electric heaters can cause signicant soot deposits to build up on the

burning of candles or smoking in the operating environment of this product can produce heavy
discolouration within a few months of use.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING - The electrical installation of this heater must be carried out by a suitably qualied or
trained electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current wiring Regulations BS 7671. The
supply must be connected via a switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably for the appliances
ex. Failure to follow these instructions will mean that the manufacturer’s instructions have not
been adhered to. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
WARNING - Minimum clearances and IP zone requirements must be adhered to in accordance
with the current wiring regulations.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
• This heater must be earthed
• Not suitable for connection via a plug top
• Do not locate the heater immediately below a xed electrical point i.e. socket outlet.
The heater is tted with a length of exible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.0mm² for 500W to 2kW and
3 x 1.5mm² on 3.0kW models for connection to the xed wiring of the premises through a suitable
connection box positioned adjacent to the heater. A means for disconnection must be incorporated
in the xed wiring of the premises in accordance with the current wiring regulations. The supply
circuit to the heater must incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of
at least 3mm. Products that are supplied without a plug are for installation into the xed wiring of the
property, via a suitable double pole switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably for the appliances
ex. Typical fuse ratings for 230V equipment - Up to 700W = 3A, over 700W = 13A.
In installation the supply cord may be cut to the appropriate length for the electrical connection
point. Excess cable should not be inserted and stored behind the heater.
WARNING: This heater must not be connected to the electricity supply via an external switching
device (such as a timer) or a circuit that is regularly switched on and o by the utility supplier.
Failure to follow this warning could result in the heater’s thermal cut-o being inadvertently reset
and could create a re hazard. Cables/exes that are supplied pre-tted to the product must NOT
be extended.

How Does the Heater Control Work?
The controller allows you to choose when you want heat and at what temperature.
When using a timer mode (see below), Comfort On will display on the home screen to tell you
when the heater is maintaining the temperature displayed. Comfort O will display when the
heater is outside of a timed heating period. When Manual, Eco or Frost modes are being used
the heater will always maintain the temperature shown on the home screen.
Set the Time
To set the date and time on the heater, press Menu, then press Enter with Time / Date highlighted.
Press or until the correct value is shown, then press Enter to conrm and move on to the
next value. Repeat until all details are correct, and Set displays, then press Back.
The time is automatically adjusted in spring and autumn between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
and British Summer Time (BST).
Set the Temperature
The temperature shown on the display is the room temperature set point (target room
temperature). This is the temperature that the heater will maintain during the heating periods.
If the room temperature is above this temperature then the heater will not operate. The heater
leaves the factory with this temperature set at 21°C which represents a typical, comfortable room
temperature. If you require a dierent room temperature then press either or until the display
shows the temperature you require.
