Dimplex Optiflame Inset Fire
Models: CHT20X, KNG20X, CST20X, DTT20X, ZAM20X
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 Fig. 1.
- 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 ap-pliance is installed, place the fuelbed material on the
fuelbed and arrange to your liking. We rec ommend the following step, in order
to acheive 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. See Fig.2 below.
- . Add coal or pebbles on top of the crystals. Allow for spaces in between coal/pebbles, for the acrylic crystals (glowing embers). See Fig.3 below.
- . For product with logs, arrange the logs on top, to your preference. Fig.4 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.

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.
