IMPORTANT
SETTING UP YOUR NEW HEATER
Setting up your new heater, called ‘commissioning’ is simple as instructed on
page 3. Please note that the new materials in the heater will produce a slight
smell for the first few days of operation. Rooms must be well ventilated and
young children, caged birds, or persons with respiratory complaints
must not remain in close proximity to the heater during the first 48
hours of the set-up period. If several new heaters have been installed it’s
recommended that the set-up for each one (commissioning) is phased over
several days.
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.
• 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
see contact details on back page.
• 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 or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that the do not play with
the appliance.
CAUTION: DO NOT COVER SURFACES OF THE HEATER AND DO NOT
OBSTRUCT AIR OUTLET GRILLES.
• Surfaces of the heater should not be covered or obstructed as this can
cause excessive temperatures that can be hazardous and may cause
safety cut-outs to operate.
• Do not put clothes, fabrics or any combustible materials on the heater.
• Do not allow curtains to come within 75mm (3”) of the top and ends of the
heater.
• DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE HEATER.
• DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN CONTACT WITH THE HEATER.
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR DUO HEATER IS VERY HEAVY AND 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 damaged or deterioration which may impair safety, it should be
replaced with an identical part.
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE WALL FIXINGS BE
LOOSENED ON THIS HEATER BEFORE THE BRICKS HAVE BEEN
REMOVED FROM ITS CORE.
