1. D Dimplex Operating Instructions IMPORTANT These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future MS reference Note also the information given on the appliance INI Ultra Slim Automatic Storage and Convector Heaters 85318 Iss 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING THE SURFACE OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT The surface temperatures of this heater are within the requirements of EN60335 2 61 the European Standard covering the safety requirements for Electric Storage Heaters and momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury However in order to be effective heaters of any type do get hot especially around the air outlet grille Therefore if aged or infirm persons or young children are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a heater precautions should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the heater cannot occur We recommend that a guard is fitted around the heater as is normal with some types of heating appliances in similar circumstances A range of guards specially designed for Dimplex storage heaters is available If you require further information on these guards please contact the Dimplex Help Desk on 0845 600 5111 This appliance is not intended for use by persons including children with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision for instruction concerning use of the appliance by a pers

3. a built in thermostatically controlled convector heater This allows you to provide top up heat for example in very cold weather when the storage heater may not have sufficient stored heat in reserve later in the day for providing full comfort conditions These operating instructions assume that the correct size of storage heaters have been selected to cater for the heating requirements of the room STORAGE HEATER OPERATION 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 The right hand INPUT knob should be set at the midway position If after the first charge period the room temperature is too high or too low the position of this knob should be moved to a lower or higher position as appropriate The most suitable position should be found by experience and the control may be left at this position without further alteration Normally the left hand OUTPUT knob may be left on minimum fully anticlockwise This control may be moved to maximum in the evening if additional heat is required at that time Return to minimum before retiring Should these settings not provide the comfort levels Commercial Use required the more detailed instructions overleaf should be consulted For normal commercial applications a setting of maximum on th
4. the following day Automatic Operation The damper may be pre set to open automatically each day if required Setting the OUTPUT control at settings other than minimum results in an automatic boost of heat A high setting on the output control knob causes the damper to open early afternoon evening conversely a lower setting causes it to open later Because the automatic opening of the damper is primarily dependent on core temperature then the amount of charge the heater has taken has a bearing on the time at which the damper opens For a given setting of the OUTPUT control the colder the weather and consequentially the greater the charge taken automatically by the heater the later the damper will open Conversely for a lower charge input in milder weather the earlier the damper will open for a given room temperature boost setting The most suitable settings of the Output control for different conditions will be found by experience Remember a high setting of the OUTPUT control early in the day may leave too little heat stored in the heater for the evening especially during the less cold weather conditions CONVECTOR HEATER OPERATION Convector Heater Principle of operation wamairou In addition to the storage heater section the CXLSN incorporates a convector heater element in the front of the heater which may be used independently of the storage heater for example to top up on very cold days or for use in late spring an

7. e output control will ensure maximum output during working hours The input control should be set as described above for Domestic Use CXLSN Storage heater section Principle of operation The storage heater section of the CXLSN heater consists of a core of high density heat storage bricks surrounded by a carefully designed insulating case During the night time off peak period elements within the brick core heat up the bricks to a temperature level determined by the setting you select using the input control knob Core of bricks Element insulation Diagram 1 In the morning when the core is at its hottest the amount of heat being transmitted through the insulation and emitted as radiant heat is at its greatest and the heater feels hot over most of its upper outer surfaces Diagram 2 As the day progresses heat is transmitted from the heater to the room and the outer surface of the heater becomes less hot and the amount of heat released in this way becomes less If the amount of emitted heat becomes insufficient the output of the heater and thus the room temperature may be increased by means of the Output Control This control operates a damper flap within the heater which when the output control knob is at minimum 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 rel
