Linear Convector Baseboard
LCM Series
PLACEMENT OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR BASE-
BOARD
Line r convector b sebo rds re high perform nce he ters designed
to oper te t higher outlet temper tures th n convention l b sebo rd
he ters. They c n be directly mounted onto dryw ll, pl ster, wood or
concrete w lls. Due to the higher outlet temper ture, the w ll surf ce
c n re ch temper tures of 138º F (59º C) nd some m teri ls m y
discolor or deform t these temper tures, e.g. vinyl or pl stic.
! NOTE If the unit is being inst lled on newly constructed w ll,
ensure th t ll products th t h ve been pplied re fully cured ccord-
ing to m nuf cturer’s instructions, before oper ting the unit.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOCATING DRAPES AND
FURNITURE NEAR HEATER (FIGURE 1)
! NOTE Any objects or m teri ls th t re loc ted within the dist nces
outlined below should not discolor, nor distort dimension lly (stretch
or shrink) upon extended exposure ( up to 1000 hrs.) to temper tures
of 200º F (93º C).
For most s tisf ctory oper tion of the he ters nd minimum effect on
dr pes, furniture nd objects in close proximity, the following recom-
mend tions should be observed:
1. Full Length Drapes H ng dr pes so there is t le st 1.5” (3.8 cm)
between the top of the dr pes nd the ceiling, t le st 1.5” (3.8 cm)
(such s c rpet, if used) AND t le st 3” (7.6 cm) between the front
vertic l surf ce of the he ter nd the ne rest fold of the dr pes
(opened dr pe). (Figure 1A)
2. Shorter Length Drapes H ng dr pes so there is t le st 1.5” (3.8
cm) between the top of the dr pes nd the ceiling, nd t le st 6”
(15.3 cm), prefer bly more, between the bottom of the dr pes nd
the top horizont l surf ce of the he ter. (Figure 1B)
3. Furniture Pl ce furniture no closer th n 3” (7.62 cm) from the front
of the line r convector b sebo rd. (Figure 1D)

Warranty
The Manufacturer warrants the convector baseboard and components of the
enclosed product against any defect in material or workmanship for a period
of one year from the date of purchase, with the exception of the elements
which are warranted to be free from defect in material and workmanship for
ten years. In full satisfaction of any claims under this Warranty the Manufactu
may decide, any parts which in its opinion are defective.
The Manufacturer shall not be responsible for any transportation or shipping
by it. Misuse of this product or repairs by persons other than the Manufactu
rer’s authorized personnel without the Manufacturer’s written approval, will
void this Warranty.
This Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties or conditions whether expressed
purpose and shall constitute the sole remedy of the Purchaser and the sole
liability of the Manufacturer in respect of the sale of the product, whether
in the nature of breach or breach of fundamental term, or of negligence or
otherwise.
The Manufacturer shall not be liable for any special, indirect or consequen
tial damages or for any damages resulting from removal or replacement of
a convector baseboard subject to warranty claim without the Manufacturer’s
authorization.
This Warranty is transferable by the original consumer purchaser of the pro
duct. Any claims under this Warranty must be submitted in writing to the Ser

CAUTION: Before removing the front cover for cleaning, make
certain the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel,
to prevent electric shock.
CAUTION: To avoid burns, allow adequate time for the element
and body casing to cool before attempting to work on the linear
convector baseboard.
The LCM series contain no moving parts. Since the appliance con
tains no moving parts little maintenance is required beyond vacuum
cleaning. It is however essential that the linear convector baseboard
is not operated with an accumulation of dust or dirt on the element,
as this can cause a build up of heat and eventual damage. For this
reason the linear convector baseboard must be inspected regularly,
depending upon conditions and at least at yearly intervals. Once
cleaning is complete replace the front cover and restore power.
! NOTE: The user can perform cleaning ONLY. All other servicing
Maintenance
1. This baseboard must be properly installed before it is used.
2. Prior to energization remove all construction dirt (plaster, sawdust,
etc.) from interior and exterior of linear convector baseboard.
Dimplex linear convector baseboards are designed and tested for
safe and trouble free operation. All Dimplex linear convector base
boards are protected against overheating by a built in thermal cutout.

Operation
WIRING MULTIPLE LINEAR CONVECTORS TOGETHER
Linear Convectors can be wired in together in parallel to be controlled
by a single thermostat. When units are wired in together ensure that
ground continuity is maintained between the units.
