IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING - THE SURFACE OF THIS RADIATOR CAN BE HOT.
The surface temperatures of this radiator are within the requirements of EN60-335 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 infirm 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 fitted 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 0870 7270 101.
•DO NOT COVER THE SURFACES OF THE RADIATOR AND DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR OUTLET GRILLES 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.
•PLEASE NOTE: THIS RADIATOR IS HEAVY AND MUST BE SECURELY FIXED TO A SOUND WALL. No attempt
should be made to move the radiator without first seeking specialist advice. If you are not happy that the radiator has
been securely fixed, please inform your installer.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE RADIATOR OR LOOSEN WALL FIXINGS
WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING ALL ENERGY RETENTION CELLS FROM THE RADIATOR.
•DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE RADIATOR.
•DO NOT SPILL LIQUIDS ONTO THE APPLIANCE. IF YOU DO, SWITCH THE RADIATOR OFF AND GET A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN TO CHECK IT.
•DO NOT POKE OBJECTS THROUGH THE GRILLE.
•DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN THE SPACE BEHIND THE RADIATOR.
•DO NOT USE POLISHES ON THE RADIATOR OR ON FURNITURE NEAR TO IT. The hot interior of the radiator can
produce paraffin smells from polish vapours which may last for a number of hours.
• In case of breakdown or other failure, switch off the radiator at both wall switches and contact your supplier or Dimplex Customer
Services. Always ensure that the radiator is switched off at the wall and fuse is removed before any repair is carried out.
•IMPORTANT - Due to the newness of the materials the radiator will produce a slight smell for the first few days of
operation. ROOMS MUST BE WELL VENTILATED AND YOUNG CHILDREN, CAGED BIRDS OR PERSONS WITH
RESPIRATORY COMPLAINTS MUST NOT REMAIN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE RADIATOR DURING THE FIRST
48 HOURS OF THE COMMISSIONING PERIOD. Running the radiator at maximum temperature for the first few days will
help to dispel any smells more quickly.

Safety - Overheat Protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with thermal cut-outs. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-outs switch the
radiator off automatically. In the event of these safety cut-outs activating please inform the installer or Dimplex Customer
Services for advice in order to reset the cut-outs.
Cleaning
To maintain the external appearance of the radiator it need only be wiped over occasionally with a dry duster. During the summer
months, or at other times when the appliance is not is use and is completely cold, the opportunity should be taken to wipe over with
a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish.
Discoloration of wall finishes can sometimes occur immediately above a radiator due to the properties of some paints and decorating
materials or the presence of environmental impurities in the air (such as soot or incense generated from the burning of candles etc.).

free of charge within this period any part found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault. This guarantee in no way
prejudices your rights under common law.

Please do not return a faulty appliance or part of an appliance to us as this may result in transit damage and/or delay in providing
service. Let us know the difficulty quoting the products model and serial numbers. We will then take the appropriate action.
Setting the Room Temperature Control
The room temperature control is located on the right-hand corner of
the top panel. It has been positioned to be clearly visible to an adult,
but out of sight of a young child. A child lock facility is incorporated
into the controller (see below for details).
The room temperature control allows the radiator to provide heat input
into the room until the desired temperature has been reached and
ensures this temperature is maintained until this setting is adjusted.
When only background heating is required (e.g. the room is unoccupied
or at night time) set the control to MINIMUM. When more heat is required in the room (e.g. when the room is occupied)
set the control to your preferred comfort setting.
To set the level of room temperature you require press, the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons on the room temperature control. The LED display
will indicate the level of output you have selected. After the control has been adjusted the brightness of the LED display will revert
to a background level after 15 seconds of inactivity.
Child Lock Operation
To activate the child lock simultaneously depress the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons for a period of 3 seconds. After this period the child
lock is in operation and the LED will illuminate for short period and then revert to the setback setting. The LED beside the
key symbol will illuminate while the child lock is in operation.
Once in the locked position, if either of the controls are operated the LED will resume maximum illumination for a short
period before reverting back to the setback position.
To deactivate the child lock, depress the buttons simultaneously again for 3 seconds and the buttons will become active.
This appliance complies with the European Standards EN 60 335-1, EN 60 335-2-61, EN 61000-3-2,
EN 61000-3-3, EN 55014 and EN55104 for Safety & Electromagnetic Compatibility.
These standards cover the requirement of the EMC Directives 89/336 & 73/23
Duoheat Room Temperature Control
Your DuoHeat radiator works by providing continual warmth from a carefully balanced combination of retained and “direct response”
heating. Some energy is taken in by the radiator when electricity tariffs are low and this is supplemented whenever needed by top
up heat from a radiant front panel, to ensure room temperatures remain to your preferred level throughout the day.
In order for the radiator to operate effectively both electricity supplies must be left switched ON at ALL times.
Radiator Positioning (see overleaf for minimum clearances)
A minimum clearance of 150mm to the front of the radiator is essential for safety, however to enable the radiator to attain its
maximum performance ensure that any furniture or other obstruction is not placed closer than 250mm.
