Linear Convector Baseboard
LCM Series
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this linear convector baseboard.
2. Heater and controls should be installed by a qualified contractor.
Wiring procedures and connections should be in accordance
with the National Electric Code (CEC & NEC) and local codes.
3. A linear convector baseboard has hot and arcing or sparking
parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
4. This linear convector baseboard is hot when in use. To avoid
burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible
materials such as: furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes
and curtains away from linear convector baseboard.
5. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in
any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces like a bed where openings may become blocked.
6. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or
damage the linear convector baseboard.
7. Do not install these linear convector baseboards against combustible, low density cellulose fibre surfaces or vinyl wallpaper.
8. Do not locate these linear convector baseboards below any electrical convenience receptacles.
9. Check baseboard nameplate ratings to be sure linear convector baseboard voltage is the same as the service supply. (The
nameplate is located below the right side of the heating element.)

Installation Instructions
PLACEMENT OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR BASEBOARD
Linear convector baseboards are high performance heaters designed
to operate at higher outlet temperatures than conventional baseboard
heaters. They can be directly mounted onto drywall, plaster, wood or
concrete walls. Due to the higher outlet temperature, the wall surface
can reach temperatures of 138º F (59º C) and some materials may
discolor or deform at these temperatures, e.g. vinyl or plastic.
! NOTE: If the unit is being installed on a newly constructed wall,
ensure that all products that have been applied are fully cured according to manufacturer’s instructions, before operating the unit.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOCATING DRAPES AND
FURNITURE NEAR HEATER (FIGURE 1)
! NOTE: Any objects or materials that are located within the distances
outlined below should not discolor, nor distort dimensionally (stretch
or shrink) upon extended exposure ( up to 1000 hrs.) to temperatures
of 200º F (93º C).
For most satisfactory operation of the heaters and minimum effect on
drapes, furniture and objects in close proximity, the following recommendations should be observed:
1. Full Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 1.5” (3.8 cm)
between the top of the drapes and the ceiling, at least 1.5” (3.8 cm)
between the bottom of the drapes and the finished floor covering
(such as carpet, if used) AND at least 3” (7.6 cm) between the front
vertical surface of the heater and the nearest fold of the drapes
(opened drape). (Figure 1A)
2. Shorter Length Drapes: Hang drapes so there is at least 1.5” (3.8
cm) between the top of the drapes and the ceiling, and at least 6”
(15.3 cm), preferably more, between the bottom of the drapes and
the top horizontal surface of the heater. (Figure 1B)
3. Furniture: Place furniture no closer than 3” (7.62 cm) from the front
of the linear convector baseboard. (Figure 1D)

4. Overhanging Solid Objects (Except Plastic): Position Baseboard
so there is at least 10” (25.4 cm) between the top of the heater and
any solid object that obstructs or redirects the vertical air flow out
of the top of the unit. (Figure 1C)
5. Overhanging Plastic Objects: All Plastic items that cannot withstand extended exposure to temperatures 60º C or higher should
be kept a minimum of 14” (35.6 cm) above the unit. (Figure 1C)
! NOTE: Ensure that when 2 linear convector baseboards are installed near the same corner they are both a minimum of 6” (15.3 cm)
from the corner.
FACTORY WIRING OF THE LINEAR CONVECTOR
BASEBOARD
All linear convector baseboards have provisions for connection to either end of the linear convector baseboard. The lead wires at either
end are factory spliced with wire nuts as a closed circuit. The circuit
may be opened at either wire nut connection to make connections
to the power supply and/or to the desired controls. (See Wiring Diagrams)
CONTROLS (not included)
A thermostat control (wall mounted or built-in) is required to operate
this unit. Typical Dimplex controls:
• Built-in thermostat kits: DTK-SP, DTK-DP, DTKT-SP or DTKT-DP
• External line voltage thermostats: TS521W, TD522W,
HTC521W, HTC525W, HTC621W or HTC625W
• Built-in low voltage relay: BLLVCxx or BLLVD
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electric shock.
1. Unpack and place the baseboard on floor face down and tear open
end of carton, use packaging to protect floor, if required.
! NOTE: Heater fins can be easily bent. For optimal performance
ensure that they remain vertical.
2. Orient unit in desired location and mark pilot holes - top and bottom
at both ends and at least one set in middle.
3. Remove rear cable clamp and wire unit as per diagrams on page
6 and National and Local Electrical Codes.
CAUTION: Connect heaters to a branch circuit used only for
permanently installed heater and protected by over current devices
rated or set at no more than 30A. The total connected load should
not be more than 80% of the rating of the over current devices. It may
cause a fire hazard if not installed and maintained in accordance with
these instructions.
4. Position linear convector baseboard, pushing cable back into wall
(or conduit), run screws through pre-selected mounting holes and
spacers (if applicable), using appropriate wall anchors, if necessary.
! NOTE: Screw should be backed off 1/2 turn from snug position to
allow free expansion and contraction of housing and to ensure quiet
operation.
5. Replace covers on unit, and reinstall rear cable clamp.
! NOTE: Install the center cover first, by installing the top first, then
the bottom.

WIRING MULTIPLE LINEAR CONVECTORS TOGETHER
Linear Convectors can be wired in together in parallel to be controlled
by a single thermostat. When units are wired in together ensure that
ground continuity is maintained between the units.
Operation
1. This baseboard must be properly installed before it is used.
2. Prior to energization remove all construction dirt (plaster, sawdust,
etc.) from interior and exterior of linear convector baseboard.
Dimplex linear convector baseboards are designed and tested for
safe and trouble-free operation. All Dimplex linear convector baseboards are protected against overheating by a built-in thermal cutout.
Free airflow throughout the linear convector baseboard is extremely
important for the most efficient operation of the linear convector baseboard. Restricted airflow may cause the thermal overload protector to cycle the linear convector baseboard “ON and OFF”. A cycling
convector baseboard will not supply sufficient heat to the room.
CAUTION: Avoid direct contact of paper, fabric, or furniture with
convector baseboard, to prevent a possible fire.
Maintenance
CAUTION: Before removing the front cover for cleaning, make
certain the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel,
to prevent electric shock.
CAUTION: To avoid burns, allow adequate time for the element
and body casing to cool before attempting to work on the linear
convector baseboard.
The LCM series contain no moving parts. Since the appliance contains no moving parts little maintenance is required beyond vacuum
cleaning. It is however essential that the linear convector baseboard
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 linear convector baseboard must be inspected regularly,
depending upon conditions and at least at yearly intervals. Once
cleaning is complete replace the front cover and restore power.
! NOTE: The user can perform cleaning ONLY. All other servicing
should be performed by qualified service personnel.
