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 1.0mm2 for connection to the fixed wiring of the premises
through a suitable connection box positioned adjacent to the
heater.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring of the premises in accordance with the wiring rules. 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,
17th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).
Please note that lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners,
combined with the convection effect of electric heaters
can cause soot deposits to build up on the surface directly
above and to the sides of the heater. This is not a fault of
the heater. Extensive burning of candles or smoking in the
operating environment of this product can produce heavy
discoloration within a few months of use.

Operation
Switching On the Heater (see Fig. 4)
The controls are located on the right hand side on
top of the appliance, lift flap to access the controls
- see Fig. 4.
The button marked ‘ ’ controls the electricity
supply to the product. An indicator beside the ‘ ’
button shows when the unit is powered ‘ON’.
Setting Desired Temperature (see Fig. 5)
The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat
enabling the room temperature to be controlled
by adjusting the slider accordingly. The min
setting ‘ ’ represents a room temperature of
approximately 5oC and may be used for protection
against frost. The ‘MAX’ setting represents a room
temperature of approximately 30oC.The ‘ ’ symbol
glows when the product is providing heat.
Turn on the heater using the ‘ ’ button and move
the thermostat slider to the desired position.When
the room temperature has reached the desired
level, the power to the elements will be reduced,
the heater will then maintain the room temperature
at the chosen level.
NOTE - Your heater may not come on when the
thermostat slider is at a low setting. This is due to
the room temperature already being higher than
the thermostat setting.
Background Temperature
When used in conjunction with a remote
programming device supporting a background/
setback setting, the heater will automatically
operate at a room temperature setting of 5oC less
than the thermostat setting when the programme
is in background/setback mode.
Limiting the Thermostat Setting
Before wall mounting the product the installer may
wish to limit the heat selection slider movement
for the operator. This is achieved by removing the
two plastic pins (see ‘x’ in Fig. 6) from the rear
of the thermostat moulding using pliers and
inserting them in the preferred holes to limit the
slider movement.

Energy Saving Tips
The energy we use to heat, light and power our homes contributes over a quarter of the
UK’s carbon emissions, the principle contributor to climate change.
Around half the energy used in the home is for heating and hot water, so using your
heating system efficiently will not only help the environment, but also save you money.
Energy efficiency tips for heating and hot water
1. Don’t set the temperature to high...
By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1oC can reduce your energy use by as much
as 10%. And if you’re going away during the winter, leave the thermostat on the frost
protection setting to provide protection from freezing at a minimum cost.
2. Use it where you need it...
Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room they are in; for example,
leave the thermostat on a heater in a spare bedroom on a lower setting.
3. Use it when you need it...
Use heaters fitted with timers or linked to central controllers to turn the heating on only
when you need it and automatically switch it off when you don’t.
4. Curtains
Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows.
5. Windows
Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated frames and single glazing.
If you can’t afford to double glaze all your windows, go for the rooms you heat most.
6. Treat your hot water tank...give it a jacket
An insulating jacket for hot water tanks costs only a few pounds and pays for itself within
months. Fit one that’s at least 75mm (3”) thick and you could save £10-15 a year.
7. Water
Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water.
Don’t set the thermostat too high on your water heater- 60oC/ 140oF is usually adequate
for bathing and washing.
Put the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving hot taps running is both
wasteful and expensive.
Ensuring dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day, you could waste enough
water to fill a bath.
Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home
1. Lights
Turn off lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten minutes.
Use low-energy bulbs wherever you can as they use less than a quarter of the electricity
used by ordinary light bulbs and last ten times longer!
2. Cooking
Use the right size pan for food and cooker hob.
Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you turn down the heat.
Boil water for cooking in a kettle first.
