Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The use of an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor is not advised when
connecting this product to the mains. Connection through these devices could
lead to a risk of overloading, overheating and even fire at the extension lead
or adaptor due to inadequate connection quality. This heater must be used on
an alternating current supply (~) only and the voltage marked on the heater
must correspond to the supply voltage. Do not use this appliance in series
with a thermal control, a program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk exists when the
appliance is accidentally covered or displaced. DO NOT use the appliance on
deep pile carpets or the long hair type of rugs, or less than 750mm (30”) away

www.dimplex.co.uk
Warning: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater. Do not
place material or garments on the appliance, or obstruct the air circulation
around the appliance, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could
cause overheating and a fire risk.
The appliance carries the Warning Symbol shown here on the right. This symbol
indicates that it must not be covered. Do not cover or obstruct the heat
outlet grill in any way. This is located above the flame window on the
appliance.
Warning: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the
thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly
switched on and off by the utility.
WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
- Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
- 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.
- Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.
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 oesophagus (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 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; 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 to 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.
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. 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
flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

Installation Instructions
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the
appliance 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 Your electric fire is designed to be used in front
of a fireplace opening or placed against a wall anywhere in the room. When
installing this appliance in front of an existing fireplace opening, we
recommend that an open chimney or flue is blocked off. We recommend that non-
flammable materials are used to 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. At the rear of the appliance, two adjustable feet
are provided for levelling the appliance where the fire is being installed on
an uneven surface. You can adjust the foot by removing the two screws and
refitting the foot in the required position. The appliance is supplied with
screws and rawl plugs to provide extra stability to prevent it from
accidentally being knocked over. The rawl plug supplied is suitable for use in
block walls (other wall types may need alternative rawl plugs).
To place the appliance flush to a wall please follow these instructions:
- Drill holes using a 6mm drill as illustrated in .
- Insert plugs and screws. Do not fully tighten screws, leave the head of the screw at least 10mm away from the wall.
- Place the keyhole slots on the appliance over the screws and lower into position.
If the unit is not to be place flush to the wall, the screws can be left protuding further than 10mm and longer screws can be used as required.
Fuelbed Assembly
Models are supplied with a range of fuelbed media, which you can arrange to your preference.(Cheriton Deluxe is supplied with coal only) .Loose coals, crystals, pebbles and logs are packed separately within the carton. When the appliance is installed, place the fuelbed material on the fuelbed and arrange to your liking. We recommend the following step, in order to achieve the optimal effect.
- Place crystals on fuelbed, covering the top surface of the fuelbed. These will provide a glowing embers effect, when the flame effect is operating.
- Add coal or pebbles on top of the crystals. Allow for spaces in between coal/pebbles, for the acrylic crystals (glowing embers).
- For product with logs, arrange the logs on top, to your preference.
below displays a representation for log arrangement. You may wish not to use all of the logs provided.
WARNING: Choking may be caused by swallowing small loose fuel bed media accidently. Keep them away from children all the time.

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.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the
thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a switch that is regularly
switched on and off by the utility.
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.
Cleaning
Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it to cool. The
surfaces of the heater should be given an occasional wipe with a dry soft
cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or furniture polish as
this can damage the surface finish of the product. The glass screen should be
cleaned carefully with a chamois leather. Do not use proprietary cleaners. To
remove any accumulation of dust or fluff, the soft brush attachment of a
vacuum cleaner should occasionally be used to clean the outlet grille of the
fan heater located under the canopy. To clean the fuel effect, remove the
coal/pebbles and wash in warm water. The plastic tray should be wiped clean
with a damp cloth. When dry replace the coal/pebbles and arrange for best
effect.
