CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s esophagus (food pipe).
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:

  • cough, gag or drool a lot
  • appear to have a stomach upset or virus
  • be sick
  • point to their throat or stomach
  • have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat
  • be tired or lethargic
  • be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise ‘not themselves’
  • lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite
  • not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food

These types of symptoms vary or fluctuate. with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it  is important to be vigilant with ‘flat’ or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.

Setup

General Information
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without heat, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year.
To reduce heat loss and to prevent any chimney up draft affecting the operation of your stove fire, we recommend that 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.
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 fan heater & flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

Electrical Connection
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
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 at the start of the instruction manual and operating instructions to follow. Please retain this user’s guide for future reference

If you settle this appliance in an existing chimney space, 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.

Thermal Safety Cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet was restricted in any way. If the cut-out  operates, unplug the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the heater back on remove any obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.

Fuel Bed Assembly

Your fire has been supplied with a range of fuel bed material’s, all models contain a 5-piece log set together with a loose set of crystals and vermiculite pieces to complete the fire effect. See Fig.2 below
Note: Each log has a number engraved on the surface to help with identification.Dimplex LVT20 AU Laverton 2kW Electric Stove - Bed
Assembly

Warning: Choking may be caused by swallowing small loose fuel bed media (crystal, vermiculite) accidentally. Keep away from children at all times.

Dimplex LVT20 AU Laverton 2kW Electric Stove - Fuel Bed
Assembly

Between logs 3 & 4 sweep the vermiculite apart to clearly expose the underlying fuel bed base in the three circle marked areas shown above.

Step 4
Using the 130g bag of crystals supplied, first place some crystals into the three clear fuel bed circles created in step 3, fill the exposed fuel bed area fully with crystals as shown. The remainder of the crystals can then be placed anywhere else on the fuel bed. These crystals are used to generate the illusion of hot ash and fire embers. We recommend using the entire bag of crystals to achieve optimal effect.

Now you are ready to switch on the product to enjoy the beautiful Opti-flame 3D flame.
Led Lamps
This fire is fitted with LED lamps. These generate the same light levels as traditional bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed.

Control Panel & Remote

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.
NOTE: The Remote Control is packaged in a red box. The battery is also stored in this box and must be installed in the remote control before operation.
