curtains away from heater.
Installation Instructions
Placement of the Smart Baseboard
Smart Baseboards are high performance heaters designed
to operate at higher outlet temperatures than conventional
baseboard heaters. They can be directly mounted onto dry-
wall, plaster, wood or concrete walls. Due to the higher outlet
temperature, the wall surface can reach temperatures of 160º
F (71º C) or above and some materials may discolor or deform
at these temperatures, e.g. vinyl or plastic. In these cases the
heater can be mounted with an offset from the wall and floor to
reduce the temperature being applied to those materials. By
installing the heater with the provided Installation Optimizer
kit, the temperature of the wall above the heater can be re-
duced to 129º F (54º C).
5. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or ex-
haust 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 venti-
lation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric
shock or fire, or damage the heater.
7. Do not install these heaters against combustible, low den-
sity cellulose fibre surfaces or vinyl wall paper.
8. Do not locate these heaters below any electrical conve-
nience receptacles.
9. Check nameplate ratings to be sure the heater voltage is
the same as the service supply. (The nameplate is located
below the right side of the heating element.)
!
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.
10. HIGH TEMPERATURES: Keep electrical cords, furniture,
draperies or any other blocking material away from the
heater. See Installation Section for specific distances.

niture near Heater (Figure 1)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one of the following measures:
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” (3.8cm) 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)
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
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” (15.2 cm), preferably more, between the
bottom of the drapes and the top horizontal surface of the
heater. (Figure 1B)
•
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-
cian for help.

The LPC series contain no moving parts. Since the appliance
contains no moving parts, little maintenance is required be-
yond vacuum cleaning. It is however essential that the smart
baseboard is not operated with an accumulation of dust or dirt
on the element, as this can cause a build up of heat and even-
tual damage. For this reason the smart 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.

E. Synchronized Icon
The LPC features CONNEXTM, a wireless technology that
works with Dimplex single and multi-zone CONNEXTM control-
lers to provide simple whole home connectivity and comfort.
CONNEXTM controllers are available to control one or multiple
LPC’s or PCH’s within a 50’ (15 m) radius. In order for the
controller to have this function the LPC and the controller will
need to be synchronized. To do this:
