IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING - THE SURFACE OF THIS RADIATOR CAN BE HOT.
The surface temperatures of this radiator are within the requirements of EN60335 the European Standard covering the safety
requirements of electric heating appliances, and momentary contact with any part of the radiator should not cause injury. However, in
order to be effective, radiators of any type do get hot, especially around the air outlet grille.
Therefore, if aged or in
fi
rm persons, or young children, are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a radiator precautions
should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the radiator cannot occur.
We recommend that a guard is
fi
tted around
the radiator, as is normal with some types of heating appliances in similar circumstances. If you require further information on these
guards, please contact Dimplex Customer Services on 0845 600 5111.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision for instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING - IN ORDER TO AVOID OVERHEATING, DO NOT COVER THE SURFACES OF THE RADIATOR AND DO NOT

Surfaces of the radiator 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 radiator or allow curtains to come within 75mm (3”) of the top and ends of the radiator. Do not allow
furniture to be pushed up against the radiator, a
minimum
clearance of 150mm is critical for safety, however to ensure radiator
performance is not affected a clearance of 250mm is recommended.
