Features

A wide range of accessories are available to increase the versatility of Dimplex storage heaters.

Tamper-proof control kits for CXLS/XL/XLS storage heaters

Easily fitted by the installer to prevent user access to the controls. We recommend that where possible tamper-proof and drip-proof kits are used in conjunction with automatic input storage heaters (XLS/CXLS).

Storage Heater Shelves

Available to suit all storage heaters (except VFMi range), these robust steel shelves are finished to match the heaters and provide protection against heaters being covered. A minimum clearance of 150mm between the heater and the shelf must be maintained.

Protective Guards

A range of protective guards designed for Dimplex storage heaters is available to order. These ensure contact with the hot surface of the heater case is avoided and objects cannot be inserted into the product. Guards can be simply positioned over the heater or fixed to the wall.

Using Storage Heater Guards

While the guard will protect against contact with the heater and will be much less hot than the heater, it is important to note that the guard does still get hot, particularly in the area adjacent to the air outlet grille of the heater. For this reason, Dimplex strongly recommend that vulnerable groups such as the elderly, infirm or young children are always adequately supervised in the vicinity of the heater. For situations which demand low surface temperature (L.S.T.), appliance guards to comply with NHS estates guidelines can be made to special order. Guards have a robust epoxy Willow White coating to match the heaters.

Accessories for Special Needs

An accessory control bar is also available for those with impaired manual dexterity. Please contact Dimplex Customer Care for further assistance.

Surface Temperature

Dimplex products comply with EN60335, the European Standard covering safety requirements of electric heating appliances, and momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury. However in order to be effective, heaters of any type do get hot especially around the air outlet grille. Therefore, if aged or infirm persons, or young children, are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a heater, we advise that precautions should be taken to ensure that contact cannot occur. We recommend that a guard is fitted around the heater as is normal with some types of heating appliance in similar circumstances.
