Heating Operating Guide
PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR
HEATING SYSTEM
This Dimplex home heating system has been specially selected by McCarthy &
Stone to ensure that you have a clean, energy efficient automatic heating system.
That is both responsive and simple to use.
The heaters constantly monitor the dwelling to minimize running cost and maximize
energy efficiency this allows the heaters to select the lowest tariff electricity
available. The wall switches should always be left in the on position to allow the
system to work correctly.
The heating system is designed to run in the Auto Mode setting as pre-set by the
installer.
The heating system has been pre-set to supply comfort heat between the hours of
8-10am & 4-9pm. Outside of these times your system automatically reverts to
Setback Mode.
In Comfort Mode the heating system reaches the desired temperature set
by you on the control on the top of the heaters.
In Setback Mode the heating system will not function unless the room
temperature falls beyond an uneconomical point (It uses less energy to keep a
back ground temperature when the room is unoccupied than it does to allow
the dwelling to chill too much). Your heating system will automatically monitor
this for you and adjust, if necessary in the Setback Mode.
The Wall controller which operates your heating system is split into Zones; the
guide below indicates which zone applies to which room.
Zone 1 = Living room & Hall Zone 3 = Bedroom Two (if applicable)
Zone 2 = Bedroom One Zone 4 = (Spare – not in use)

Your heaters
Your heating system comprises of two types of heater the “DuoHeat” and the “Panel Heater”
all linked to a “Central Wall Controller”.
Duo Heater
• The DuoHeat provides the majority of the heat you will
require.
• Therefore it may remain hot most of the day from heat
stored when cheap electricity is available.
• The heater intelligently selected the cheapest energy
available, combining both low cost and standard rate
electricity.
• To control the heaters’ temperature press the illuminated
panel – for less heat & + for more.
• Child lock function – this disables the controls to prevent
tampering. Press and hold both – and + buttons for 5
seconds to activate, repeat to cancel (the wall controller
overrides the control on the heater – it is only adjustable
when in the Comfort Mode).
EPX Heater
• The Panel heater provides rapid heating to occasional use
rooms like bedrooms
• The heater automatically adjusts to maintain desired
temperatures in the room when in the Comfort Mode.
• To control the heaters’ temperature slide the control right
for more heat and left for less heat (The wall controller
overrides the control on the heater it should only be adjusted
when in the Comfort Mode).
Wall controller
• The wall Controller provides you with the flexibility to
control the whole heating system from one point
• Should you wish to override the system from the preset
times turn the Mode Selector Knob to select the desired
mode.
• If you are absent for long periods of time i.e a short break
or holiday there is a simple Holiday Mode function. This
function switches the heating system in to a frost protection
mode. In this mode the dwelling is continually monitored,
should the temperature drop below the minimum set level
the system will respond to minimize any potential damage.
To set refer to the instruction on the back page.

Trouble Shooting Guide
If you have no heat from your heaters first
check they are switched on both at the wall
and on the heater.
Next make sure the Wall Controller has the
Mode Selector Knob in the correct position
(to test put it in the Comfort Mode).
Remember if the temperature setting on your
DuoHeat is not function or responding it is
likely that the Wall Controller is not in a
Comfort Mode. You can check this by looking
at the display on the Wall Controller you
should see 4 bars lit above the zone indicator,
any other display on the screen would indicate
you are not in Comfort Mode. Remember
when in Auto Mode your system will change
between Comfort Mode & Set Back Mode
depending on the time. It is Pre – set to be in
Comfort Mode between 8AM & 10AM – 3PM
& 9PM. If there is no display on the controller
contact your house manager.
