switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
The SCH5 if converted to floor standing by adding feet must also be
fitted with a rewireable UK 3 pin plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. The

the heater to be converted to floor standing units if required.
The heater is designed either for individual operation, or if wall
mounted, may be connected together in multiples with a connector kit
(Part no.CH0471)
As supplied the Dimplex SCH5 convector heater does not have any
controls. Your electrical supplier will be able to advise on timeswitch
or thermostatic controls which would be suitable where multiple
installations are involved.(see warning above).

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut out. In the
event that the product overheats, the cut out switches the heater off
