Water Connection; Electrical Connection - Dimplex CAS500 Manual

VENTILATION
This product needs free ventilation from underneath to operate correctly. There are slots on the underside of the product
to allow this free air through the product. The free ventilation helps keep the electronic components cool and allows the
mist to rise and leave the product. Please see Fig 3 & 4 for examples of the required ventilation. Please take note of the
requirement for a ventilation opening on the shelf where the product sits, to allow a clear path for the air to get to the
product (Fig 4).
CAS500 Free Ventilation Area: Minimum 210cm
CAS1000 Free Ventilation Area: Minimum 420cm

WATER CONNECTION

It is recommended that you consult a qualified plumber to ensure a safe and secure installation.
Two adaptors have been supplied with the product to connect the ¼" blue PVC pipe of the product to mains water (Fig
5.1). Either the white ½ inch or the grey ¾ inch adaptor can be used to connect the product to the mains. For reference,
the ¾ inch adaptor is the same connection used on most washing machine supplies. Once the correct mains water
connection has been installed, follow the steps below to connect your product to the water supply.
1. With the water supply turned off, connect the correct adaptor to the main water supply. (Fig 5.1)
2. Position the water filter (Fig 5.5) in a suitable location. This will need to be accessed for future replacement. The two
fixing clips can be used to fix the filter to a solid surface, if required.
3. Using a sharp knife or blade, cut two lengths of the blue PVC pipe. One length (Fig 5.2) should be long enough to
travel from the adaptor at the main supply to the ball valve (Fig 5.3). The second length (Fig 5.4) should be long
enough to travel from the ball valve to the inlet of the filter. When cutting the pipe, ensure that the end of the tubing
is cut square to prevent leaking.
4. Insert the cut pipe into the fittings, ensuring each one is pushed in fully. About 12mm of the end of the pipe should
be inserted into each fitting. When inserting pipe into the filter, take note of the flow direction on the filter and ensure
the pipe from the main supply is fitted to the inlet of the filter.
5. Following the same steps above, cut a length of pipe (Fig 5.6) from the outlet of the water filter to the ball valve which
has been supplied already connected to the product (Fig 5.7).
6. Before connecting the pipe to the ball valve on the product, flush out the newly plumbed pipe by opening the valve
and allowing water to flow. This is to prevent any debris from the installation from entering the product. Once the
piping has been flushed out, connect the pipe into the ball valve on the product.
7. Before fully installing the product, inspect all water connections by opening each of the valves in turn and ensuring
that no leaks are present.
Water Connection – Additional Information
Water Pressure: the water pressure on the appliance should be between 8Bar (800Kilopascals) and 0.5Bar
(50Kilopascals). Where required, use a pressure reducing valve.
If the product is being supplied from a header tank, a head of at least 2 metres must be maintained above the product.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Plug the fire into a 16amp/230 Volt outlet. Be sure to have access to the plug after installation to allow for disconnection.
Ensure that the supply cable exits at the back of the fire at the right or left hand corner to suit your supply socket location
and is not trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged.
The appliance can be connected to the fixed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box positioned
adjacent to the appliance. This 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 electrician can remove the supplied plug by the following;
1. Lift off the fuelbed and put switch 'A' into the off position (Fig 27).
2. Ensure that the appliance is unplugged.
3. Lift off the access cover by removing the retaining screw (Fig 6).
4. Unscrew and remove the Live, Neutral and Earth wires (Fig 7A)
5. Unscrew the cable clamp (Fig 7B) and remove the supply cord.
6. The electrician can then connect the wire from the appliance to the connection box (by following the steps above in
reverse) ensuring that it incorporates a double pole isolating switch, having a contact separation of at least 3mm.
Brown - Live (L), Blue - Neutral (N) and Green/Yellow - Earth (E)
