Installation Instructions

Congratulations on purchasing a small wall 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.
This heater is designed for permanent installation only,
care should be taken to install according to the following
instructions. All required clearances should be maintained, in
addition all electrical wiring and connections should comply
with local electrical codes.
! 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.
All units should be controlled by means of a regulating
thermostat. Certain models only are provided with built in
thermostats, check the Model Key Information section for
verification. Wall thermostats should comply with the voltage
and wattage of all heaters on the circuit. Built in thermostats
are not suitable for Register Grill Models.
All installations require the following components:
1) Recess Mount Box (Model 1011650100)
2) Heater Assembly (See nameplate Label)
3) Grill (Either Multi- Directional Style or Register Style)
An optional Surface mount box is available for installations
that are not recessed in wall cavity.
Step 1 – Placement
All units are designed for placement in either interior or
exterior walls. Care should be taken to provide a minimum
of 8" clearance from floors, ceilings and adjacent walls.
Once installed, the airflow through the heater should not
be blocked in any way. Maintain three (3) feet clearance of
objects from the front of unit. Maintain a spacing of three
(3) feet between heaters in order to prevent re-circulation
of heated air. Insulation surrounding the back and sides of
the recess mount box will not affect performance. Ensure
insulation is rated for temperatures up to 85 o C.
! NOte: Certain flooring and wall covering materials
(particularly those incorporating clear vinyl materials tend
to distort at temperatures in the vicinity of 60 C ( 140 F ).
Material shall be checked prior to installation to determine

! NOte: Maintain a minimum clearance of 8" from adjacent
walls, floors and ceilings on all four sides of the grill
if discoloration will occur. Units are not approved for
placement in floors or ceilings. Do not install in any area
where combustible vapors, gases, dusts or liquids are
present. Fire or explosion may occur.
Step 2 – Mounting the Recess Box
Determine the desired orientation of unit. Provide an
opening in wall 14 ¼" x 8 5/8" x 3 3/8" deep minimum.
Care should be taken to install the recess box in the correct
orientation to accommodate grill. Note the position of
the electrical entry knockouts and orient recess box
according to Figure 1. Ensure all required clearances are
met.
