Installation Instructions

Congratulations on purchasing a kickspace heater from
Dimplex North America. Your heater is manufactured using
the highest quality materials and workmanship and will
provide many years of trouble free service.
! notE: It is extremely important to read all information
labels. Care must be taken to ensure that the heater is
rated the same voltage as the electrical supply wires.
Failure to do so could result in unsafe heater operation as
well as damage to the unit. If replacing an existing heater,
check the labels of the old heater to ensure the voltage of
the new heater is compatible.
! notE: Care must be taken to prevent undue strain on all
wiring or heating element assembly, when removing and
re-assembling heating element assembly.
CAutIon: For field rewiring to 120V all leads must be
secured under wire clamps.
! notE: Air and grille temperatures conform to CSA & UL
regulations but may discolour certain materials, particu-
larly those materials incorporating clear vinyl. Materials
should be checked prior to installation to determine if
discolouration or distortion would occur in the vicinity of
60°C (140° F)

! notE: Unit should be installed so that it is not directly
under sink or other frequently used work area as air tem-
perature may be uncomfortably warm. Also, if carpeting is on
floor, mount unit so bottom of grille is level or above the top
of the carpet pile.
1. Measure area of intended use. If there is not sufficient
room for the grille frame, the frame may be removed by
removing grille frame from heater (screw "A"), remove
frame and re-insert grille.
2. Cut 22 3/8" x 3 5/8" opening (Figure 2). Keep clearance
area free of obstructions.
3. Bring in service cable to left or rear of 10" minimum area
as shown in Fig.2.
4. Remove heater cover and appropriate knockout. Attach
service cable to unit with approved connector and con-
nect colour to colour in outlet box. To change wattage or
voltage connections, see Figure 4.
5. Replace cover, slide unit into opening, and secure each
side (Figure 1).
