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 1.0mm2for
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 a wall mounted Dimplex
programmer. If 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 (setback)
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
544.2.5, 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 discolouration within a few months of use.

User introduction
Thank you for choosing the Dimplex LST heater. We manufacture the highest quality heating
products for use in a wide variety of environments.This product has been designed to incorporate
the latest, most advanced technologies to give you maximum control over your heating.
The system allows for the simple setting of required time and temperature, and includes many
energy-saving features which work automatically to help keep you warm for less.
Please read the instructions closely before first using the product, there is also quick-start
guide on the next page if you need a reminder of how to use the basic functions in the future.
Energy saving features
The Dimplex LST heater has many features which are designed to save you money. It has a self-
learning capability which learns the thermal characteristics of a room and determines how long
the appliance needs to be on in order to reach target temperature based on factors such as room
size, heat loss and prevailing weather. This minimises wasted energy whilst maximising comfort,
keeping you warm for the lowest possible cost.
Fan assisted flow
The Dimplex LST heater has a convection element which automatically adjust its power output. It
has a quiet fan to rapidly circulate heat around the room while ensuring the body of the product
remains cool to the touch. This allows the product to heat the room more efficiently than a
conventional convector maintaining an incredibly accurate room temperature. The product will
reduce its output as the room gets close to the target temperature, to avoid overshooting the
target temperature and stopping the room from overheating, thus saving you energy.
Open window technology
Should a window or door be accidentally left open, your heater will detect the sudden change in
temperature and go into standby mode, returning to normal operation when the window or door
has been closed. This ensures output of the heater is reduced while heat is escaping from the
room, saving you money.
EcoStart (Anticipatory Control)
Measuring the heat-up and cool-down times of the room and how they vary with external
temperatures, the heater will calculate what time it needs to start heating in order to reach the
user defined target termperature at a specified time. For example, if you get up at 7am, you
would normally have to guess when to turn the heating on in order for it to pre-heat the room in
time. Depending on how cold it is outside, this could mean the room is still cold when you have
to get out of bed, or mean that its been warm for half an hour before it needed to be. This clever
feature means that if you select 21 degrees celsius at 7am, the heater will turn on exactly when
it needs to to meet this target, running for shorter periods of time when the weather is mild, and
ensuring the room is nice and warm in the winter.
These functions are explained in more detail later, and can be disabled if the environment
where the heater is installed means that they are not needed.

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 too high...
Reducing the thermostat setting by just 1°C
can reduce your energy use by as much as
10%. If you’re going away during the winter,
leave the thermostat on the frost protection
setting to provide protection from freezing
at 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 heater thermostat 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 - 60°C/ 140°F
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. Ensure 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.

Important
During the initial operation, some odour may
be noticed due to the newness of materials
used in manufacture. This is normal and will
disappear after a short period or use. It is
however advisable to keep the room
well ventilated.
Cleaning
WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT
FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING THE HEATER.
Before commencing cleaning, disconnect
the electricity supply to the appliance and
allow it to cool. The outside can be cleaned
by wiping it over with a soft damp cloth and
then dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning
powders or furniture polish, as this can
damage the surface finish. To release the
heater from the wall bracket for cleaning
or redecoration, remover the screw from
the wall bracket and lift the heater upwards
(See Fig. 1 and 2, page 5).
Recycling
