Setting up your Dimplex OFRC15WTE Oil Free Column Heater for optimal performance involves a few key steps. First, consider the positioning. Place the heater on a flat, stable surface, away from deep pile carpets or long hair rugs. Ensure there is at least 300mm of clearance above the heater and 150mm on each side for safety and efficient heat distribution.
Next, the castors: The heater must always be operated with the wheels fitted and in an upright position. Remove the castor assemblies from the packaging. Attach the castors to the stub axles by pressing until each clicks into place. The castors should be fitted between the outer fins, as indicated in the instructions. For added stability, turn the heater upside down on a soft surface, position the castor brackets onto the threaded pins, and secure them with winged nuts. Finally, lift the heater, turn it upright, and let it stand on its castors.
Finally, setting the thermostat: The thermostat dial regulates the heat output based on the room temperature. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the heat. To maintain a constant temperature, turn the dial anti-clockwise until it clicks off. The '*' setting on the thermostat offers frost protection, maintaining a temperature of approximately 5°C, ideal for colder areas. Following these steps will help you use your Dimplex OFRC15WTE Oil Free Column Heater safely and effectively.
