Convector electric space heater Dimplex PLX 300E

The Dimplex PLX 300E is a convector electric space heater with a rated output of 3000 W, intended for indoor climate control. It includes a digital thermostat for accurate temperature regulation down to 7 °C and is designed for fixed installation with wall-mounting capability. The unit has an IP24 rating for protection against splashing water, making it suitable for placement in moisture-prone indoor areas when mounted according to instructions. Its exterior dimensions are approximately 858 mm wide, 430 mm deep and 115 mm high, and it operates on 230–240 V, 50 Hz supply.

Advantages

The digital thermostat provides stable temperature control and reduces temperature fluctuations compared with manual thermostats. The 3000 W power output delivers fast warm-up for medium to large rooms, while the convector design promotes even air circulation without exposed heating elements. IP24 protection increases installation versatility, and wall-mount capability keeps floor space free and places the heater at an optimal height for heat distribution.

Suitable for

• Heating living rooms and bedrooms in residential settings
• Supplementary heating for home offices and workspaces
• Bathroom or utility room use where IP24-rated equipment is required (when mounted correctly)
• Commercial or communal indoor areas such as small shops or waiting rooms

How to use

Install the heater on a suitable wall following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions and local electrical codes. Connect the unit to a compatible 230–240 V, 50 Hz supply and set the digital thermostat to the desired temperature, not lower than the minimum 7 °C setting if frost protection is required. Allow a short warm-up period for the unit to reach the selected temperature; the convector design will circulate warm air across the room. For safe operation, keep the area around the heater clear of obstructions and do not cover the unit.

Usage recommendations

For efficient operation, place the heater at an unobstructed height on the wall so airflow is not blocked, and use the digital thermostat to maintain a stable setpoint rather than frequently changing settings. Ensure installation and any hardwiring are performed by a qualified electrician and follow local regulations for IP-rated appliances in wet or damp rooms.
