Dimplex CXD Ceramic Radiant Heaters
Model(s) : CXD2000H & CXD2000V
THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Important Safety Advice
Because the Dimplex Ceramic Radiant Heater contains no moving
parts little maintenance is required. Before undertaking any
maintenance work on the heater due attention must be paid to the
following:
This heater is designed to be horizontally wall mounted only, it must
not be ceiling mounted.
Always ensure a safe mounting height, at or above a minimum height
of 1.8 meters from ground level, so that the heater can not be touched
when in operation.
The heater must be wall mounted level ± 5º to the horizontal.
Do not locate the heater immediately above or below a fixed socket
outlet or connection box.
Always disconnect the heater from the electricity supply before
attempting to work on or near it.
Always ensure a safe means of access using an access tower or
properly supported ladder.
Do not cover the heater.
Keep combustible materials away from the heater.
Do not position patio furniture, sunshades, awnings and other
combustible materials too close to the heater.
Do not use heater if the elements are broken - as injury may occur.
Allow adequate time (minimum of 30 minutes) for the elements and
body casing to cool before attempting to work on the heater.
Wiring between the heater and the spur outlet or isolation switch
must be in a heat resisting cable (e.g. polychloroprene).
Note: Provide sufficient slack to the cable to allow for angular
adjustment of the body.
The supply cord should be regularly examined for signs of damage
and the appliance is not to be used if the cord is damaged.
General
Your Dimplex Ceramic Radiant Heater uses ceramic elements which produce
a high proportion of their output in the long-wave infra-red. This provides a high
comfort factor – similar to the natural energy from the sun.
Electrical
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent
electrician and be in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations
and any local or insurance regulations.
The CXD2000H & CXD2000V are designed for use on a 230-240V AC single
phase supply.
An all-pole isolating switch with a minimum separation of 3mm in each pole
must be fitted to facilitate isolation. This switch must either be positioned inside
a building or have an IP rating against water ingress suitable for external
installation.
The appliance must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having
a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
The appliance must be connected to a socket-outlet having an earthing contact.
Note : Always ensure the cable grip is tightened.
Installation
Heaters are supplied with an integral wall bracket which may be fixed through
the mounting holes to any suitable structure. The bracket allows the heater to
be inclined at the required angle. The recommended fixing height to the centre
line of the bracket is 2.0m from ground level - see Fig. 2.
The integral wall fixing bracket may be removed by fully unscrewing to facilitate
its fixing.
The positioning of the heater(s) should be such as to allow an even and
uninterrupted distribution of radiation to the area(s) to be heated. Heaters are
most effective when the beam angle is inclined down at an angle of between
30º to 45º to the vertical -
see Fig. 2.
When deciding upon the best location, consideration must be given to the
following requirements:
a. Avoid structures which might vibrate e.g. crane gantries. These could
adversely affect element life.
b. Comfort and safety could be compromised unless the heater is mounted
at or above 1.8m from ground level.
c. Allow a minimum of 500mm clearance between the top of the heater and
any horizontal surface - see Fig. 1.

Element Replacement
WARNING – BEFORE UNDERTAKING THIS TASK ENSURE THE HEATER IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND LEFT TO COOL
FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 MINUTES.
1. The heater should be taken off the wall.
2. Remove the screws (a) and (b) which hold the control box on the back of
the heater.
3. This will allow access to the elements. Remove the retaining clips and
spring clips (c) to loosen the elements.
4. Disconnect the elements from their terminal blocks.
5. Remove the screws (d) which hold the back panel.
6. Remove the splash brackets (e) on the elements.
7.
In order to remove the front guard, the vertical uprights (f) in Fig. 4 must
first be straightened (using appropriate pliers). Rotate the heater body
and gently bend the guard as indicated in steps 1 & 2 (see Fig. 3).
8. The old element should drop out through the front of the heater, reverse
the process when replacing with the new element.
Cleaning and User Maintenance
WARNING: BEFORE UNDERTAKING CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE WORK
ON THE APPLIANCE, DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Since the appliance contains no moving parts little maintenance is required
beyond cleaning and element replacement. It is however essential that the
heater 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. For this reason the
heater must be inspected regularly, depending upon conditions and at least at
yearly intervals.
Allow adequate time for the element and body casing to cool before attempting
to work on the heater - a minimum time of 30 minutes is recommended.
After Sales Service
Should you require after sales service or should you need to purchase any
spares, please contact the retailer from whom the appliance was purchased or
contact the service number relevant to your country on the warranty card.
Please do not return a faulty product to us in the first instance as this may
result in loss or damage and delay in providing you with a satisfactory service.
Please retain your receipt as proof of purchase.
