IMPORTANT – All packaging should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.
OVERHEATING WARNING
WARNING - In order to avoid overheating, do not cover or obstruct 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 outlet slots in the base of the heater.
WARNING - THE SURFACES ON THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.
The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of fire
that exists if the heater is accidentally covered.
CAUTION - Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns.
Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.
For your safety this heater is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product
overheats for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the
product by cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will
reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and o automatically until the reason for
overheating is removed.
The display screen may flash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the

SERVICING AND REPAIRS
WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the
manufacturers approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualified person, using
only exact manufacturer approved spare parts.
PLEASE NOTE: Household dust, lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with
the convection eect of electric heaters can cause significant 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 discolouration within a few months of use.
OPERATING WARNINGS
IMPORTANT:Remember to observe all safety warnings and precautions when
operating the heater on the automatic or timer modes, either attended or unattended
since a fire risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered, obstructed or displaced.
CAUTION:Do not use if either of the heater’s mains power leads become damaged. If
the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the installer or an approved Dimplex
service partner.
Do not sit or stand on the heater.
Ensure minimum clearances between the heater and other objects / surfaces are
maintained.
