Dimplex Duo400i, Duo500i Electric Heater User Manual


 
Controls
Your DuoHeat radiator works by providing continual warmth from a carefully balanced combination of “retained” and “radiant” heating. Some
energy is taken in by the radiator when electricity tariffs are low and this is supplemented whenever needed by top up heat from a radiant front
panel, to ensure room temperatures remain to your preferred level throughout the day.
DuoHeat has two output modes Comfort (Radiant Heat) and
Background (Retained Heat). Each needs to be set to the
correct level to provide the optimum level of comfort.
For DuoHeat to operate correctly, both electricity
supplies must be switched on at all times.
Initial Set Up
When the radiator is switched on red lights will illuminate on the
temperature control display located on the top right hand side of
the radiator. The radiator will automatically be in Comfort mode.
Depending on your comfort requirements, there are three
recommended settings:-
Low” (e.g. holiday home during period of vacancy)
Normal “ (e.g. average use)
High” (e.g. sheltered accommodation)
Both the Comfort and Background heat settings need to be set
accordingly.
Please note that at high setting the room temperature will be
warmer with a corresponding increase in running costs.
“Normal” Setting
This is the factory default setting, however you should check this
has not been altered by the installer.
Set the Background setting at the mid point (5th bar). To do
this, press the
+
button until 10 bars are illuminated and continue
to hold for a further 7 seconds. Adjust by pressing the
+
or
-
buttons.
After 20 seconds, the display will revert to the standard Comfort
mode.
Set the Comfort at the mid point (5 bar) by pressing the
+
or
-
buttons to change the number of illuminated bars.
“Low” Setting
Reduce the Background setting to 1 bar.
Reduce the Comfort control to 1 bar.
“High” Setting
Increase the Background setting to between 7 bars.
Increase the Comfort control to between 7.
Operate the radiator for 24 hours before making further
adjustments to the settings.
Achieving Optimum Comfort Level
If the room is not at the desired temperature in the afternoon /
evening, adjust the Comfort Heat simply by pressing the
+
or
-
button to achieve a higher or lower room temperature.
If the morning room temperature is not at the desired level, then
adjust the Background heat level by pressing and holding down
the
+
button on the temperature control display until 10 red
lights are illuminated, continue to hold the
+
button for a further
7 seconds and a single red light will flash. Use the
+
button to
increase room temperature and the flashing red light will move
to the right. Use the
-
button to decrease room temperature
and the flashing red light will move to the left.
After 20 seconds the temperature control will display will return
to the Comfort Heat control mode.
It may require a few days fine-tuning to achieve an optimum
comfort level. On subsequent days increase or decrease
the temperature by one red light until a satisfactory comfort
level has been established. Once established the radiator
will automatically adjust to suit seasonal changes in
temperature. During mild weather background heat may not
operate as Comfort Heat will be sufficient.
In order for the radiator to operate effectively both electricity supplies must
be left switched ON at ALL times.
