CAUTION:
Before removing the front cover for cleaning,
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 SAF6 and SAS8 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 in-
spected 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 person

charge, in its factory or in the field as it alone may decide, any
parts which in its opinion are defective.
The Manufacturer shall not be responsible for any transportation
or shipping costs in relation to such repair or replacement
except as specifically assumed by it. Misuse of this product or
repairs by persons other than the Manufacturer’s authorized
personnel without the Manufacturer’s written approval, will
void this Warranty.
This Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties or conditions
whether expressed or implied including but not limited to those
of merchantability or fitness for purpose and shall constitute
the sole remedy of the Purchaser and the sole liability of the
Manufacturer in respect of the sale of the product, whether
in the nature of breach or breach of fundamental term, or of
negligence or otherwise.
The Manufacturer shall not be liable for any special, indirect
or consequential damages or for any damages resulting

1. This heater must be properly installed before it is used.
2. Prior to energization remove all construction dirt (plaster,
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.
Operation
2. Wire heaters and controls in accordance with the
appropriate wiring diagram.

NOTE:
Sample wiring diagrams are provided beside.
3. Wrap the supply ground wire around the green painted
ground screw & tighten.
!
NOTE:
When heaters are mounted end to end, remove
the finished end plate, install a chase nipple and locknut
in the terminal box to ensure grounding continuity and to
protect the wiring.
Where headers are spaced apart, remove the finishing end
plate, and use rigid conduit (provided by customer) for through
wiring and ground continuity. Do not exceed the allowable
number of conductors allowed by the National Electric Code.
