Important Safety Advice
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
IIMPORTANT – The wall brackets supplied with the
appliance must be used.
WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN THE IMMEDIATE
SURROUNDINGS OF A BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING
POOL.
IMPORTANT – If the heater is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower, it must be so installed that
switches and other controls cannot be touched by a
person using a bath or shower.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket
outlet or connection box.
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation
around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture,
as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.
NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots
at the top of the heater or the air inlet slots in the base of
the heater.
The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating
that it must not be covered.
WARNING – THE SURFACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.
Momentary contact with any part of the heater should
not cause injury. However, aged or infirm persons or
young children should not be left unsupervised in the
vicinity of the heater unless a suitable guard is fitted.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or
other persons without assistance or supervision if their
physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them
from using it safely. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Note that due care and consideration must be taken
when using this heater in series with a thermal control,
a program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk
exists when the heater is accidentally covered or
displaced.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent
electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current I.E.E.
regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code :
GREEN AND YELLOW :
EARTH
BLUE :
NEUTRAL
BROWN :
LIVE
BLACK :
PILOT WIRE
- see also ‘Pilot Wire Connection’.
The heater is fitted with a length of flexible cable type H05VV-
F size 4 x 1.0mm
2
for connection to the fixed wiring of the
premises through a suitable connection box positioned
adjacent to the heater.
The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a double
pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least
3mm.
Pilot Wire Connection
The BLACK control wire is designed to carry a signal from
slot in or wall mounted Dimplex programmers. If, however a
programmer is not being used, the pilot wire should be
isolated in accordance with the current IEE Wiring
Regulations.
IMPORTANT
-
DO NOT
connect the BLACK pilot wire to earth.
Care should be taken with the installation of the pilot wire(s)
as when switching to background (set back) they become
energised at 240V although only at a current of less than
100mA. In every case a suitable means of isolation must be
provided for the pilot wire and marked to indicate that two
sources of supply may be present at the heater.
Where pilot wires are installed separately from the heater
final sub-circuit they should be protected, double insulated
and carry their own integral earth continuity conductor.
Supplementary Earth Bonding
Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing
conductor in the supply cord is deemed to provide the
supplementary bonding connection (see Regulation 547-
03-05, 16
th
Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).
