Switching on
To put the convector switch F in the ON position, depress the right-hand side of the switch. The switch neon will glow when the
switch is in the ON position. If the room temperature is below the thermostat setting neon C will glow, showing the convector is
providing heat.
Setting the Thermostat
The thermostat knob A should be set to the comfort level required. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the room temperature
selected, but the actual setting to provide the required conditions will be found by experience. If, when the convector heater is
switched ON and available for use, the room temperature is below that set on the control knob, neon C will be illuminated, showing
the heater elements are energised.

24-hour Convector Operation
In certain circumstances it may be desirable for the convector to be available during the off-peak period. If this is so the installer
can select this option during installation. However, the user should be aware of the following:
1. If the convector heater is not required during the off-peak period the user must remember to switch it off.
2. If the convector heater is used at a high level for a significant period during the off-peak period it will have the effect of
reducing the level of charge taken by the storage heater for a given input setting. A higher setting of the input control may be
required to compensate for this.
IMPORTANT -
Due to the newness of the materials the heater will produce a slight smell for the first few days of operation.
ROOMS MUST BE WELL VENTILATED AND YOUNG CHILDREN, CAGED BIRDS, OR PERSONS WITH RESPIRATORY
COMPLAINTS MUST NOT REMAIN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE HEATER DURING THE FIRST 48 HOURS OF THE
COMMISSIONING PERIOD.
To commission the heater set both the input and output controls to maximum and leave for 48 hours, after this period the
controls should be adjusted for everyday use - see 'SETTING THE CONTROLS' on the front cover of these instructions.
Cleaning
To maintain the external appearance of the radiator it need only be wiped over occasionally with a dry duster. During the summer
months, or at other times when the appliance is not in use and is completely cold, the opportunity should be taken to wipe over with a
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish.
Discoloration of wall finishes can sometimes occur immediately above a storage heater due to the properties of some paints and
decorating materials or the presence of environmental impurities in the air (such as soot or incense generated from the burning of
candles, etc.) A suitable shelf (available from Dimplex) may be fitted to limit the extent of any wall discoloration.
