- If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek immediate medical attention
- Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.

WARNING
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Swallowing can lead to chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death.
Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. Seek medical attention
immediately.
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 a virus;
- be sick;
- point to their throat or stomach;
- have 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; and
- not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.
These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding. A specific symptom of button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical 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.
Dimplex Optiflame Fire
- Models: FGA15E, MMZ15E, MCFP15O-E
Thank you for choosing a Dimplex electric fire.
General Information
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use,
in the event of moving or returning the fire to your supplier.
These models are designed to be free-standing and are normally positioned
against a wall. 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. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little
electricity.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same as that
stated on the heater.
Please note:
Used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible
to hear a sound that is related to the operation of the flame effect. This is
normal and should not be a cause for concern.
