1. the Room Temperature Boost contro This control operates a damper flap within the heater which when the room temperature boost control knob is at setting 1 covers vertical airways which pass directly through the centre of the core of the heater Even when the outer surfaces of the heater are noticeably less hot the core of bricks can still be at a relatively high temperature Opening the room temperature boost damper flap by moving the control away from setting 1 allows the room air to circulate through this hot core and release more heat to the room by convection Diagram 3 ome Radiant reat q Conveciedheal Damper closed Damper open Diagram 2 Diagram 3 Input Control The setting of this contro determines the amount of charge taken in by the heater which in turn deiermines the temperature of the heater s storage core The higher the charge taken the higher the core temperature in cold weather the heater should be set to take a high charge the control being set to number 9 for a maximum charge Inthe Autumn and Spring a tower setting of the input control should be sufficient the actual setting required being influenced by the prevailing weather Conditions the room size and insulation levels The most suitable settings will be found by expenence Room Temperature Boost Control Dependent upon the amount of charge taken in by the heater the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control allows the release of additional heat by means of2.

3. YOUR STORAGE HEATER IS VERY HEAVY For safety in use it must be securely fixed to a sound wall No attempt should be made to move the heater without first seeking specialist advice If you are not happy that the heater has been securely fixed please inform your installer If during any reassembly of the heater a part of the thermal insulation shows damage or deterioration which may impair safety it should be replaced by an identical part DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE HEATER DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN CONTACT WITH THE HEATER Models XL12N XL18N and XL24N Your Dimplex XLN storage heater stores heat overnight using cheap off peak electricity and discharges this heat during the following day These operating instructions assume that the correct size of storage heaters have been selected to cater for the heating requirements of the room Setting the Controls The control knobs have been positioned so that they are clearly visible to an adult but out of sight of young children In this way it is hoped that they will not provide temptation to a child to alter the settings Domestic Use in cold weather set the right hand INPUT knob to 9 maximum In milder weather set the control to a lower position Normally the left hand Room Temperature Boost knob may be left on setting 1 This control may be moved to position 9 in the evening if additional heat is required at that time Return to setting 1 before retiring i Should these set
4. a damper which can be opened to allow a greater air flow through the heater core and theretore additional circulation of heat By allering the setting ol the boost control knob the damper may be opened and closed manually or it may be made to open automatically Manual Operation With the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control on setting 1 the damper remains closed and heat is released trom the heater only by normal radiation and convection around the outer surfaces of the healer This alone may provide sufficient neat on many occasions and therefore no alteration of the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control is necessary However ifa boost of heat is required in the evening period then moving the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST contro to setting 9 in the evening will immediately open the damper to allow more rapid release of any available stored heat When the next charging eriod commences the damper will automatically close to prevent this release of extra heat during the charge period but the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control must be returned to setting 1 manually to obtain a similar operation the following day Automatic Operation The damper may be pre set to open automatically each day if required Setting the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control at settings other than position 1 results in an automatic earlier or later boost of heat A higher setting of the boost control knob causes the damper to open earlier A lower setting causes it to open later Because the automatic
5. opening of the damper is primarily dependent on core temperature then the setting of the INPUT contro determines indirectly the time at which the damper opens For a given setting of the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control the higher the setting of the INPUT control the later the damper will open Lower settings on the INPUT control will mean an earlier damper opening The most Suitable settings of the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST control for different input settings will be found by experience Remember a high setting of the ROOM TEMPERATURE BOOST contro early in the day may leave too little heat stored in the heater for the evening especially on low setlings of the INPUF control ee a Please Note Due to the newness of the materials used in manufacture slight odours may be emitted from the heater when itis first switched on It is therefore advisable to keep the room well ventilated and persons suffering from respiratory conditions would be advised not to sleep in the same room until any odours have dispersed Cleaning To maintain the external appearance of the radiator it need only be wiped over occasionally with a dry duster During the summer months however or at other times when the appliance is not in use and completely cold opporiunity should be taken to wipe over with a damp cloth Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish After Sales Service Your Dimplex Storage Radiator is quaranteed from the date of purchase The
