When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this linear convector.
2. A linear convector has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it
in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
3. This linear convector is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this linear convec-
tor. Keep combustible materials such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes and curtains away from linear convector.
4. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Do not use on soft surfaces like a bed where openings may become blocked.
5. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust
opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the linear
convector.
6. Do not install these linear convectors against combustible, low density cel-
lulose fibre surfaces.
7. Do no locate these linear convectors below any electrical convenience
receptacles.
8. Do not store gasoile or flammable solvents in the vicinity of these linear
convectors.
9. Check linear convector nameplate ratings to be sure linear convector voltage
is the same as the service supply. (The nameplate is located below the right
side of the heating element.)
10. HigH TemPeraTUreS : Keep electrical cords, furniture draperies or any
other blocking material away from the linear convector.

installation instructions
Warning: Linear convectors and controls should be installed by a qualified
contractor.
Warning: Wiring procedures and connections should be in accordance
with the National Electric code (NEC) and local codes.
CaUTiOn: Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electric
shock.
CaUTiOn: Connect linear convectors to a branch circuit used only for
permanently installed linear convectors and protected by overcurrent devices
rated or set at not more than 30 amperes.
CaUTiOn: The total connected load should not be more then 80% of the
rating of the overcurrent devices.
PLaCemenT Of The Linear COnveCTOr
For maximum comfort heating the linear convectors should be installed against an
outside wall and below a window or as close as possible to the window. Linear
convector may only be surface mounted on plaster, wood or concrete wall and
oriented horizontally with the topside up. (See Figure 6)

For most satisfactory operation of the linear convectors and minimum effect on drapes
and furniture, the following recommendations should be observed:
1. Hang drapes so that, in use, they extend below the center line of the linear
convector, but with at least 1.5 inches clearance from the finished floor cover-
ing (such as carpet, if used).
2. Hang drapes so that there is at least 3 inches between the extreme front of the
linear convector and the nearest fold of the drapes in the folded back (opened
drape) position.
3. Hang drapes so there is at least 1.5 inches between the top of the drapes and
the ceiling.
4. To be suitable for draperies located close to linear convectors, material should
not discolour nor distort dimensionally (stretch or shrink) upon extended expo-
sure (1000 hrs.) to a temperature of 200º F (93º C).

faCTOrY Wiring Of The Linear COnveCTOrS
All linear convectors have provisions for connection to either end of the linear
convector. The lead wires at either end are factory spliced with wire nuts as
closed circuit. The circuit may be opened at either wire nut connection to make
connections to the power supply and/or to the desired controls. (See Wiring
Diagrams)

The linear convectors can be connected end to end to form a continuous length
of linear convector section. When units are installed end to end, join the linear
convectors to ensure ground continuity between.

Dimplex linear convectors are designed and tested for safe and trouble-free
operation. All Dimplex linear convectors are protected against overheating by a
built-in thermal cutout. Free airflow throughout the linear convector is extremely
important for the most efficient operation of the linear convector. restricted airflow
may cause the thermal overload protector to cycle the linear convector "ON and
OFF". a cycling linear convector will not supply sufficient heat to the room.
Avoid direct contact of paper, fabric, or furniture with linear convector.
The LC series contain no moving parts. Since the appliance contains no moving
parts little maintenance is required beyond vacuum cleaning. It is however
essential that the linear convector is not operated with an accumulation of dust or
dirt on the element, as this can cause a build up of heat and eventual damage.
off at least 6 inches above the top of the linear convector and preferably more.
nOTe: Place furniture no closer then 3 inches from the linear convector.
Built-in thermostat kits: DTK-SP, DTK-DP, DTKT-SP or DTKT-DP
External line voltage thermostats: TSxx or TDxx
Built-in low voltage relay: BLLVCxx or BLLVD
Place linear convector on floor face up. Use packaging to protect it if required.
Remove front cover as shown at the end to be connected. Remove wire nut and
separate the baseboard leads. (Figure 1 & 3)
Insert wire through hit-lock connector, as shown, and connect to linear convector
lead wires. Additional wire nut is required. Connect grounding wire to ground-
ing method provided. Place wires in linear convector and replace front cover.
(Figure 2 & 4)
Push cable back into wall as linear convector is being positioned against wall.
Linear convector is approved for installation with 3/4" carpeting. For thicker floor
covering, raise linear convector accordingly. (Figure 5)
With linear convector in position, run screws through pre-selected mounting holes.
Screw should be backed off 1/2 turn from snug position to allow free expansion
and contraction of housing and to insure quiet operation. (Figure 6)
Remove screw holding the end cover and remove the cover. (Figure 10)
Use suitable knockout for cable/conduit entrance. Secure in place on plate.
(Figure 10)
Make electrical connections in the connection box. Replace covers and secure
baseboard in position. (Figure 8)
Operation
This linear convector must be properly installed before it is used.
Prior to energization remove all construction dirt (plaster, sawdust, etc.) from
interior and exterior of linear convector.
maintenance
CaUTiOn: Before removing the front cover for cleaning, make certain the
power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel.
CaUTiOn: Allow adequate time for the element and body casing to cool
before attempting to work on the linear convector.
