Electrical Connection

This heater must be used on an A.C. ~ supply only and the voltage
marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage.

To comply with the I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, the appliance must be
earthed; the supply circuit must be adequate for the input of the
appliance, and the circuit protected by a suitable fuse. This
appliance has a loading of 500 Watts.

If the heater is to be connected to a fixed electricity supply, a
suitable termination must be provided adjacent to the final position of
the appliance. In this instance, such a termination can be a double
pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.

The SCH5 if converted to floor standing by adding feet must also be
fitted with a rewireable UK 3 pin plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse.
The 13 amp fuse must be approved by ASTA to BS1362.

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

Green and Yellow – Earth

General

The Dimplex SCH5 Convector heater is primarily designed for wall
mounting. Feet are, however, available (Part no. CH9101) and enable
the heater to be converted to floor standing units if required.
The heater is designed either for individual operation, or if wall
mounted, may be connected together in multiples with a connector kit
(Part no.CH0471)
As supplied the Dimplex SCH5 convector heater does not have any
controls. Your electrical supplier will be able to advise on timeswitch or
thermostatic controls which would be suitable where multiple
installations are involved.

Safety

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut out. In the
event that the product overheats, the cut out switches the heater off
automatically.

To bring the heater back in to operation, remove the cause of
overheating, then switch off the electrical supply to the heater for a
few minutes.

When the heater has cooled sufficiently, switch the heater on.
