We recommend that a guard is fitted around the heater, as is normal with some types of heating appliances in similar circumstances. A range of guards specially designed for Dimplex storage heaters is available. If you require further information on these guards, please see contact details on back page.

The benefits of storage heating One of the benefits of storage heaters is that after their night-time intake of off-peak electricity i.e. the ‘charge’ they will always emit some heat throughout the day and night. This helps to maintain a steady temperature so that the room never gets cold, because the whole fabric of the room retains some warmth.

Setting up your new heater The controls To operate the off-peak storage heating function there are two simple controls located at the top right of the heater. To commission a new heater set both the INPuT and ouTPuT controls to ‘MAX’ and leave for a minimum of 48 hours. Output Input After this period the controls should be adjusted for everyday use.
‘OUTPUT’ boost heating control This controls the airflow release through the heater and can be OUTPUT used to release heat faster or as a boost of heat later in the day. control Depending upon the amount of charge accepted by the heater, the ouTPuT control allows the release of additional heat,’the boost’, by increasing the air flow through the heater.

Operating the convector heater In addition to the storage heater section the CXLSN incorporates a convector heater element in the front of the heater which may be used independently of the storage heater, for example to “top-up” on very cold days, or for use in late spring and early autumn when only infrequent cold spells do not justify continuous use of the storage heater.
Setting the thermostat The thermostat 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, the neon will be illuminated, showing the heater elements are...
Seasonal settings Summer Summer In summer when you hopefully don’t need any heat you can switch the heater off at the wall sockets. Turn them on again when you need heating. TIP If heating is needed unexpectedly e.g. Spring or Autumn the convector heater can be used but remember to switch on the convector wall switch first.
Troubleshooting guide Please note this guide refers to heaters being operated individually. If a central control system is installed some issues may require that you refer to the instructions provided with the system controlling the heaters. ISSUE SOLUTION My heater is too cold •...
