AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Dimplex XL6N and XLS6N Storage Heaters store heat

overnight using cheap off peak electricity and discharge this

heat the following day. The XL6N is preset at the factory to

always take a full charge. XLS6N models are fitted with an

external sensor which measures room temperature and adjusts

the input to the heater automatically, thus ensuring the most

effective use of electricity. These operating instructions assume

that the correct size of storage heaters have been selected to

cater for the heating requirements of the room.

CLEANING

To maintain the appearance of the heater wipe occasionally

with a dry cloth when the heater is cool.

Do not use abrasive powders of furniture polish.

Thermal overload protection

This appliance is protected by a

thermal safety cutout which will

operate to isolate the electricity

supply if, for example, the heater

surfaces or grille are obstructed

to cause overheating.

The cutout should not operate if

the instructions given in this

leaflet and clearances regarding

positioning are strictly followed.

However, if the cutout has

operated before following the

instructions below determine

the cause of the cutout

operating. If the heater has not

obviously or inadvertently been

misused - e.g. covered - it will

be necessary to have the

appliance fully checked by a

Dimplex Service Agent. (A list

of Dimplex Service Agents is

enclosed in the leaflet envelope

and should be retained by the

user).
