Maintenance
Operation
WARNING: This heater must be properly installed before
it is used.
1. Prior to energization remove all construction dirt (plaster,
sawdust, etc.) from interior and exterior of heater.
2. Adjust thermostat with pliers. This unit is also controllable
from a line voltage wall thermostat or eld installed built-
in tamperproof single or double pole thermostat kit.
Dimplex kickspace heaters are designed and tested for safe
and trouble-free operation. All Dimplex kickspace heaters are
protected against overheating by a built-in thermal cutout.
Free airow throughout the heater is extremely important for
the most efcient operation of the heater. Restricted airow
may cause the thermal overload protector to cycle the heater
“ON and OFF”. A cycling heater will not supply sufcient heat
to the room.
Avoid direct contact of paper, fabric, or furniture with heater.
as shown in Fig.2.
