Water heating
It is recommended that the boiler be used for central heating purposes only and hot water be stored and
heated by a direct electric hot water cylinder. This allows hot water to be heated over night on an off-peak
tariff and reduces heat losses between the boiler and the cylinder.
1.1 - Introduction
The Dimplex Ascari boiler is an all electric domestic central heating boiler suitable for use on a 230V 52A
50Hz supply. The unit is easy to install and requires no flue, making it ideal for apartments or properties in
conversation areas.
The unit is supplied ready for operation as a 12kW 230V sigle phase boiler and will automatically modulate
down to 10, 8 and 6kW. The maximum output power may also be manually limited to operation at maximum
power levels of 10, 8, 6 or 4kW upon which the boiler will proportionnaly modulate to lower power levels.
Finished in a clean white case and with dimensions of 620mm height x 405mm width, the boiler is suitable for
installation in a kitchen area. With thermal cut out selectable at 60°C or 100°C the boiler is suitable for
standard wet radiators systems or underfloor heating.
There are no ventilation requirements associated with the operation of this boiler, however to maintain a dry
atmosphere a well ventilated room is recommended.
