IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

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

re, 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 re 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.

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 re 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 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
and hold Enter for 10 seconds.

SUITABLE APPLICATIONS
WARNING - This heater is suitable for normal domestic household 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. Do not install

if the product is damaged.

SERVICING AND REPAIRS
WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the manufacturers

approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualied 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 signicant 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 re risk exists

when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.

Quick Start Guide

This guide is for quick reference only.
Please refer to the operating section on Page 10 for further
information.

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 conrm 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 dierent room temperature then press either or until the display

shows the temperature you require.

Timer Modes

Your Dimplex PLXE Panel comes

pre-programmed with four timer

modes. These modes dene

the periods when the heater will
operate in Comfort On mode.

Which Timer Mode is Best for Me?

The heater leaves the factory set in Out All Day mode. If you are out during the day and only
require heat in the mornings and evenings then this mode will suit your lifestyle and you won’t
need to alter anything. If you are in during the day then you should select the Home All Day mode
which is a single heating period. The User Timer mode will give you four periods of heating split
throughout the day. If you are away for an extended period of time then you can use the Holiday
mode. This allows you to reduce the heating during the period that you are away, reverting to the
previously selected mode on the day you return.

To choose a timer mode press Menu followed by
Enter to select Timer Mode. Select the mode
required by pressing or and then Enter. For

controlled. The minimum room temperature is 7°C. The maximum temperature is set to
26°C by default however this can be increased to 32°C if required. A temperature of 21°C

represents a normal room temperature.

NOTE:

Your heater may produce some noise during
operation. This noise is caused by the expansion
and contraction of the element as it changes
temperature, and is normal for this type of
product. Whilst the noise produced is usually
very quiet, certain environmental factors can

make it more noticeable, such as hard ooring

or minimal furnishings If you believe that the
expansion noise is excessive, please contact us.

Energy Saving Tips

The energy we use to heat, light and power our homes contributes over a quarter of the UK’s
carbon emissions, the principle contributor to climate change. Around half the energy used in the

home is for heating and hot water, so using your heating system eciently will not only help the

environment, but also save you money.

Energy eciency tips for heating and hot water

1. Don’t set the temperature to high...

By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1°C can reduce your energy use by as much as

10%. And if you’re going away during the winter, leave the thermostat on the frost protection

setting to provide protection from freezing at a minimum cost.

2. Use it where you need it...

Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room they are in; for example, leave

the thermostat on a heater in a spare bedroom on a lower setting.

3. Use it when you need it...

Use heaters tted with timers or linked to central controllers to turn the heating on only when

you need it and automatically switch it o when you don’t.

4. Curtains

Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows.

5. Windows

Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated frames and single glazing. If you

can’t aord to double glaze all your windows, go for the rooms you heat most.

6. Treat your hot water tank...

Give it a jacket. An insulating jacket for hot water tanks costs only a few pounds and pays for

itself within months. Fit one that’s at least 75mm (3”) thick and you could save £10-15 a year.

7. Water

Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water. Don’t set the thermostat too

high on your water heater - 60°C/ 140°F is usually adequate for bathing and washing. Put

the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving hot taps running is both wasteful

and expensive. Ensuring dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day, you could waste
enough water to ll a bath.

Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home

1. Lights

Turn o lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten minutes. Use low-energy bulbs

wherever you can as they use less than a quarter of the electricity used by ordinary light
bulbs and last ten times longer!

2. Cooking

Use the right size pan for food and cooker hob. Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you

turn down the heat. Boil water for cooking in a kettle rst.

22

Important

facilities exist. Check with a Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice in your country.
