Ultra-Slim Storage and Convector Heaters
WARNING -
THE SURFACE OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT. The surface temperatures of this heater are within the
requirements of EN60335-2-61, the European Standard covering the safety requirements for Electric Storage Heaters, and
momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury. However, in order to be effective, heaters of any type do
get hot, especially around the air outlet grille.
Therefore, if aged or infirm persons, or young children, are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a heater
precautions should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the heater cannot occur.
We recommend that a guard is
fitted around the heater, as is normal with some types of heating appliances in similar circumstances. A range of guards
specially designed for Dimplex storage heaters is available. If you require further information on these guards, please contact
the Dimplex Help Desk on 0845 600 5111.
CAUTION:
DO NOT COVER SURFACES OF THE HEATER AND DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR OUTLET GRILLES. Surfaces of the
heater should not be covered or obstructed as this can cause excessive temperatures that can be hazardous and may cause
safety cut-outs to operate. For example, do not put clothes, fabrics or any combustible materials on the heater or allow curtains
to come within 75mm (3”) of the top and ends of the heater and do not allow furniture to be pushed up against the heater.
PLEASE NOTE:
YOUR STORAGE HEATER IS VERY HEAVY AND MUST BE SECURELY FIXED TO A SOUND WALL.
No attempt should be made to move the heater without first seeking specialist advice.
If you are not happy that the heater
has been securely fixed, please inform your installer. If, during any reassembly of the heater, a part of the thermal insulation
shows damaged or deterioration which may impair safety, it should be replaced by an identical part.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE WALL FIXINGS BE LOOSENED ON THIS HEATER BEFORE THE BRICKS
HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS CORE.
DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE HEATER.
DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN CONTACT WITH THE HEATER.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
(85911 Iss. 3)
Models CXL12N, CXL18N and CXL24N
Your Dimplex CXLN combined storage and convector heater enables you to take advantage of cheap off peak electricity to provide
the bulk of your heating requirements, with the added flexibility of a built-in, thermostatically controlled convector heater. This allows
you to provide top-up heat, for example, in very cold weather when the storage heater may not have sufficient stored heat in reserve
later in the day for providing full comfort conditions. These operating instructions assume that the correct size of storage heaters have
been selected to cater for the heating requirements of the room.
STORAGE HEATER OPERATION
Setting the Controls
The control knobs have been positioned so that they are
clearly visible to an adult, but out of sight of young children. In
this way it is hoped that they will not provide temptation to a child
to alter the settings.
Domestic Use
In cold weather set the right hand (INPUT) knob to maximum
(fully clockwise). In milder weather set the control to a lower
position.
Normally the left hand (OUTPUT) knob may be left on minimum
(fully anticlockwise). This control may be moved to maximum in
the evening if additional heat is required at that time. Return to
minimum before retiring.
Commercial Use
For normal commercial applications a setting of maximum on
the output control will ensure maximum output during working
hours. The input control should be set as described above for
Domestic Use.
Should these settings not provide the comfort levels
required, the more detailed instructions overleaf
should be consulted.
