General Instructions
For use with Dimplex baseboard heaters series BN, DBH
and LC.
DTK-SP and DTKT-SP thermostat kit is design to work as
freeze guard. It does not have a true “off” setting. When
set to its lowest position, by counter clockwise rotation of
the shaft to last stop, the thermostat cycles the heater on at
approximately 4.4° C (40° F).
DTK-DP and DTKT-DP thermostat kits are design to have
a positive “off”. The thermostat is in “off” position when
the shaft is turned counter clockwise to last stop usually
after a slight “click”. At this setting the heater will not cycle
regardless of room temperature.
