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;

1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
2. 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 ;

1. Clean the area where the fire will be installed e.g remove ash residue from an existing fireplace.
2. Hold the fire by the sides of surround and gently manoeuvre into position.
3. Plug the fire into a 13amp/240 volt outlet. Ensure that the supply cable is not trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged.
4. Ensure that the draft excluder (rubber strip) is fitted to the channel on the base of the product.

Connecting the Transducer

1. Gently lift out the fuelbed and carefully set aside. (Fig 3)

2. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards. (Fig 4)
   

3. Remove the nozzle by unclipping and lifting upwards and outwards. (Fig 5)
   

4. The transducer will be inside the sump. Remove from its bag.

5. Place the Transducer unit into the sump and make the connection.

6. Locate the tab on the Transducer unit into the moulded recess in the base of the sump (Fig 6)
   

7. Ensure that the cable does not obstruct the Transducer disc. To prevent the cable becoming pinched between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot in the wall of the sump. (Fig 7)

5. Screw the cap back on, do not over tighten.

6.  Return the tank to the sump, with the tank cap facing down

7. Gently place the fuelbed back into position.
