 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

-

Warranty

The Manufacturer warrants the heating elements and 

components of the enclosed product against any defect in 

material or workmanship for a period of one year from the 

date of purchase.  In full satisfaction of any claims under 

this Warranty the Manufacturer will repair or replace without 

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 

from removal or replacement of a heater subject to warranty 

claim without the Manufacturer’s authorization. This Warranty 

is transferable by the original  consumer purchaser of the 

product.  Any claims under this Warranty must be submitted in 

writing to the Service Manager, Dimplex North America Ltd.,

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.
