General
The heater has a loading of 2KW. It is designed for permanent wall
mounting and is suitable for operation on A.C. electricity supply having
the same voltage as shown on the rating label.
The heater is fitted with an internally mounted selector switch which on
installation of the heater allows a choice of 1kW or 2kW output to suit the
dimensions of the room to be heated.
In rooms of less than 9 – 11 cubic m. (350 - 400 cubic ft.) 1kW output
should be selected, otherwise nuisance tripping of the thermal overload
cut-out may occur.
NOTE : THE SWITCH HAS BEEN FACTORY SET FOR 2kW OPERATION.

Safety
Cut-Out
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 into operation, remove the cause of overheating,
then turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently reconnect and switch on the
heater.
Fuse Link
A thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature. If the fuse link
operates and opens circuit it is the result of abnormal overheating within
the appliance.
To ensure the future safe operation of the heater please contact Dimplex
Customer Services.
Installation
Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity supply is
disconnected from any relevant fixed wiring. Supply cable is not supplied
with this appliance and it should therefore be installed by a competent
electrician in accordance with the IEE wiring regulations.
The supply circuit must be adequate for the input of the appliance and
must be protected with a 13A fuse.
A suitable termination to the fixed wiring of the premises must be provided
adjacent to the final position of the appliance through a double pole
switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
Installation Procedure
It is essential to observe minimum wall mounting clearances - see Fig. 1.
The appliance should be fitted horizontally, with the cable entry at the top
and grille at the bottom. It must be mounted not less than 1800mm above
the floor with a clearance of at least 600mm to any shelf or projecting
surface below the heater and not less than 300mm below the ceiling or
other projecting surface. It must also be not less than 250mm from an
adjacent projecting surface. For most effective heating performance,
the heater should be mounted at the minimum height :-
i.e.- 1800mm above the floor.
Care must be taken to ensure that when in use, the air stream is not
obstructed by a high shelf or cabinet.
The appliance is secured to the wall with three screws, two through
keyhole slots '1' & '3' and one through a hole '2' to hold the appliance
firmly in position (see Fig. 2).
