Operating Instructions - Dimplex VFMi 20 C Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

English
General Information
For installation, operation and maintenance, please observe
these instructions. This unit should only be installed and
repaired by an experienced technician.
Repairs which are improperly carried out can endanger the
safety of the user.
The installation and operating instructions must always be
available and should be given to the technician working on
the device for his/her information.
We therefore request that these installation and operating
instructions be passed on to the new tenant or owner should
there be a change in occupancy.
During renovation works with dust accumulation, the device
must only be operated with the fan switched off.
!Warnings!
• Note! The surface temperatures can exceed 80° C d uring
operation.
• The minimum clearances indicated must be kept.
The clearances must not be reduced by hanging objects.
• Any objects must be at a distance of at least 300 mm from
the air outlet grid. This is also true for deep-pile carpet.
• Do not cover the device
• Covering the device with objects can lead to heat build-up
and thus increased temperatures on the device surface
and the objects.
Operating Instructions for Users
• Do not insert any objects into the device or bring any
objects into contact with the device. This could lead to
malfunctions or the objects might ignite.
• Any objects which have fallen behind the storage heater
must be removed immediately.
• Ensure that small children or persons with impaired health
do not touch the device surface, especially the air outlet
grid.
• Care must be taken that no objects such as e.g. curtains,
paper, aerosol cans etc. are placed against, in front of or
on the device or directly in the path of hot air.
• Electric storage heaters must not be operated in rooms
with - even temporarily - potentially explosive substances
of any kind such as gases, vapours or dust. This is also
true for volatile solvents (such as Tri, Tetra). In such
cases, ensure that the storage heater has cooled down to
room temperature.
• Do not use steam cleaners to clean the storage heater.
• This device must not be operated by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities
or lacking the necessary experience or knowledge -
unless they are under the supervision of the person
responsible for their safety or have been instructed in the
use of the device.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the device.
Function
During the night the storage heater stores the thermal energy
required for the day in the storage core. This way low-priced
electrical energy can be stored at times during which the
distribution networks of the utility companies are not working
under full load.
In some areas with very low external temperatures additional
thermal energy can be stored at specific times during the
day.
Even if additional storage takes place during the day,
however, most of the thermal energy required is still stored
during the night.
Occasional clicking sounds during operation are due to
temperature changes in the storage core.
Initial Heating Up
As with all new devices, some unpleasant odours may occur
during first use. Please ensure sufficient ventilation.
Charging with Charge Control
The charging of the storage heater is controlled via an
atmospherically-controlled charge control.
The thermal energy to be stored is determined using the
external temperature and the remaining thermal energy in
the storage heater.
In this operating mode, the charging adjuster at the storage
heater is set to maximum charging - clockwise to the right-
hand stop. (factory setting).
