Dimplex Opti-myst Inset Fire
Models: CRS20, PNN20
Thank you for choosing a Dimplex electric fire
General Information
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without
heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year.
A fan heater can provide heating in cold weather. A distance of 1 metre (3
feet) must be maintained between the front of the heater and any surrounding
furniture, overhanging curtains or other obstructions. To reduce heat loss and
to prevent any chimney up draft affecting the operation of your inset fire we
recommend they the chimney flue is sealed off.
Always ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface. Before
connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that
stated on the appliance. Only use filtered water in this appliance. Once
installed, never move this appliance or lay it on its back, without draining
the water from sump and water tank. The water tank, sump, sump lid, tank cap
and air filters must be cleaned once every week, particularly in hard water
areas. If you intend not using the appliance for longer than a week, drain the
water from sump and water tank and dry the sump
Please note: Used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound which is related to the operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
The sump and the water tank in this product are treated with a biocidal product, Silver Biocide in order to control harmful or unwanted organisms. This conforms with the latest relevant ISO standard. Do not drink the water from the sump or from the water tank(s)

Installation
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions. Please retain this user’s guide for future reference
Before installing this appliance in an existing chimney, we recommend that;
- You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
- You block off the chimney flue.
This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully). Retain all packing for possible future use e.g. in the event of moving or returning the appliance to your supplier.
Installing the Appliance ;
- Clean the area where the fire will be installed e.g remove ash residue from an existing fireplace.

not to spill any water. Sit the assembly in the sink. Carefully tilt so that
the liquid drains out of the sump. Put a small amount of washing up liquid
into the sump, and using the supplied brush,
gently clean all surfaces including the metal disc (Fig 9)
