General

Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the fire to your supplier. 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.

Fitting

IMPORTANT: If not using a Dimplex mantel, the fireplace must be installed in an enclosure with the following MINIMUM dimensions(Figure 4).

Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is at least 1 meter away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.
Store the fireplace in a safe, dry, and dust-free location.
Clearance for air circulation beneath the fireplace is provided by two spacers. DO NOT INSTALL THE FIREPLACE DIRECTLY ON CARPET OR SIMILAR SURFACES WHICH MAY RESTRICT AIR CIRCULATION. If installing the fireplace in a carpeted area, place a one-piece, solid flat surface under the fireplace. Ensure that all feet rest securely on this surface!
In some jurisdictions this appliance is supplied without a plug this is to comply with the local regulations. In such instances, this appliance must be installed by a suitably qualified installer and the means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the local wiring rules.

New Wall Construction
