Dimplex DTK Series Installation Instructions

Thermostat Kits
DTK & DTKT Series (Tamper proof)
General Instructions
For use with Dimplex baseboard heaters series BN, DBH
and LC.
DTK-SP and DTKT-SP thermostat kit is design to work as
freeze guard. It does not have a true "off" setting. When
set to its lowest position, by counter clockwise rotation of
the shaft to last stop, the thermostat cycles the heater on at
approximately 4.4° C (40° F).
DTK-DP and DTKT-DP thermostat kits are design to have
a positive "off". The thermostat is in "off" position when
the shaft is turned counter clockwise to last stop usually
after a slight "click". At this setting the heater will not cycle
regardless of room temperature.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to person, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this heater.

W ARNING: To prevent electrical shock, disconnect from
