make certain the power has been turned off at the circuit
breaker panel.
cAuTiOn:
Allow adequate time for the element and body
casing to cool before attempting to work on the heater.
The aF12/as12 series contain no moving parts. since the
appliance contains no moving parts, little maintenance is
required beyond vacuum cleaning. it is, however, essential
that the heater is not operated with an accumulation of dust
or dirt on the element, as this can cause a build up of heat
and eventual damage. For this reason the heater must be
inspected regularly, depending upon conditions and at least
at yearly intervals. once cleaning is complete replace the
front cover and restore power.
WArninG:
The user can perform cleaning ONLY, all
other servicing should be performed by qualified service
personnel.
maintenance
This heater must be properly installed before it is used.
1.
prior to energization remove all construction dirt (plaster,
2.
sawdust, etc.) from interior and exterior of heater.
Dimplex baseboard heaters are designed and tested for safe
and trouble-free operation. All Dimplex baseboard heaters
are protected against overheating by a built-in thermal cutout.
Free airflow throughout the heater is extremely important for
the most efficient operation of the heater. Restricted airflow
may cause the thermal overload protector to cycle the heater
“ON and OFF”. A cycling heater will not supply sufficient heat
to the room.
Avoid direct contact of paper, fabric, or furniture with heater.
