Important Safety Advice

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the

following:

IIMPORTANT – The wall brackets supplied with the

appliance must be used.

IMPORTANT – If the heater is installed in a room

containing a bath or shower, it must be so installed that

switches and other controls cannot be touched by a

person using a bath or shower.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket

outlet or connection box.

Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or

garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation

around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture,

as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.

NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots

at the top of the heater or the air inlet slots in the base of

the heater.

The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating

that it must not be covered.

WARNING – THE SURFACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

Momentary contact with any part of the heater should

not cause injury. However, aged or infirm persons or

young children should not be left unsupervised in the

vicinity of the heater unless a suitable guard is fitted.

This appliance is not intended for use by children or

other persons without assistance or supervision if their

physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them

from using it safely. Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Note that due care and consideration must be taken

when using this heater in series with a thermal control,

a program controller, a timer or any other device that

switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk

exists when the heater is accidentally covered or

displaced.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified

person in order to avoid a hazard.

Electrical

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent

electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current I.E.E.

regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code :

GREEN AND YELLOW : EARTH

BLUE : NEUTRAL

BROWN : LIVE

BLACK : PILOT WIRE

- see also ‘Pilot Wire Connection’.

The heater is fitted with a length of flexible cable type H05VV-

F size 4 x 1.0mm

for connection to the fixed wiring of the

premises through a suitable connection box positioned

adjacent to the heater.

The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a double

pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least

3mm.

Pilot Wire Connection

The BLACK control wire is designed to carry a signal from

slot in or wall mounted Dimplex programmers. If, however a

programmer is not being used, the pilot wire should be

isolated in accordance with the current IEE Wiring

Regulations.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT connect the BLACK pilot wire to earth.

Care should be taken with the installation of the pilot wire(s)

as when switching to background (set back) they become

energised at 240V although only at a current of less than

100mA. In every case a suitable means of isolation must be

provided for the pilot wire and marked to indicate that two

sources of supply may be present at the heater.

Where pilot wires are installed separately from the heater

final sub-circuit they should be protected, double insulated

and carry their own integral earth continuity conductor.

Supplementary Earth Bonding

Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing

conductor in the supply cord is deemed to provide the

supplementary bonding connection (see Regulation 547-

03-05, 16

Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).
