Manual Operation
With the OUTPUT control on minimum the damper remains closed, and heat is released from the heater only by normal radiation
and convection around the outer surfaces of the heater. This alone may provide sufficient heat on many occasions and therefore no
alteration of the OUTPUT control is necessary. However, if a boost of heat is required in the evening period, then moving the
OUTPUT control to maximum in the evening will immediately open the damper to allow more rapid release of any available stored
heat. When the next charging period commences the damper will automatically close to prevent this release of extra heat during the
charge period, but the OUTPUT control must be returned to minimum manually to obtain a similar operation the following day.
Automatic Operation
The damper may be pre-set to open automatically each day if required. Setting the OUTPUT control at settings other than
minimum results in an automatic boost of heat. A high setting on the output control knob causes the damper to open early afternoon/
evening, conversely a lower setting causes it to open later.
Because the automatic opening of the damper is primarily dependent on core temperature then the setting of the INPUT control
has a bearing on the time at which the damper opens. For a given setting of the OUTPUT control, the higher the setting of the
INPUT control, the later the damper will open. Lower settings on the INPUT control will mean an earlier damper opening.
The most suitable settings of the OUTPUT control for different input settings will be found by experience.
Remember - a high setting of the OUTPUT control early in the day may leave too little heat stored in the heater for the evening,
especially on low settings of the INPUT control.
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.
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.
After Sales Service
Your Dimplex Storage Radiator is guaranteed for one year from date of purchase. We undertake to exchange or repair within this
period, any part found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault (applies in the UK only). This guarantee in no way prejudices your
rights under common law.
Should you require after sales service, please get in touch with the supplier through whom you purchased the appliance, or your
nearest Dimplex Service Agent.
Please do not initially return a faulty appliance or part of an appliance to us as this may result in transit damage and/or delay in
providing service. Let us know your difficulty quoting the heater's model and serial numbers. We will then take the appropriate
action.
